CGC Comments at FCA Luncheon

[ramblinrev]

I was there. Perfect report, great meeting!

 

[LeonardWood]

Every detail matters.

Makes my heart sing.

Interesting to say scheme means zero players mean everything. This is 180 degrees from where we were with the last HC.

CPJ said about as much about schemes and players very regularly

I thought it was live or die by the triple option playbook and star rankings didn’t matter

 

[MACHETE]

Thanks for sharing. Great report!

 

[GTRules]

No we prayed for their conversion to Jackets.

Don't need them. Didn't fit the system.

 

[CiraldoForever]

Thank you so much for sharing this. Of all the great stuff I've heard about CGC, this is by far the best.

 

[Flywheel]

Made my morning to learn he's active with FCA - it was the best thing about my high school experience.

 

[Tampa Jacket]

Good answer to the question about beating UGA. The real answer I think will be 3-4 years.

 

[CornerBlitz]

He’s a strong believer and has the juice? I’m overloaded. Great write up and thanks for sharing.

 

[Athletic Supporter]

Thank you. I feel like I've taken a warm juice bath.

Great write up.

Was this a GT chapter of FCA, or a larger encompassing group?

Again, thanks.

He was definitely a believer in his scheme, but I don’t think he ever said recruiting wasn’t important. He just wasn’t as good at it as CGC has proven to be so far. There were probably comments about star rankings, but that was likely more directed as criticism to the recruiting services than to needing quality players (i.e. adding stars to players that commit to factories) .

So while I would say CGC’s “scheme doesn’t matter” statement is a 180, I don’t think the players/recruiting part is. Maybe more of like a 45-90.

Edit: as to not completely derail and DUT this thread up...thanks for taking notes OP. Good read!

I see - thank you

Exactly. Great report OP!
Football will always be about fundamentals.

I recall several occasions when Paul Johnson said emphatically that superior players usually trump schemes.

Longer. That hill is awfully high.

I recall several occasions when Paul Johnson said emphatically that superior players usually trump schemes.

The quote was: "physical superiority cancels all theories." I remember that in reference to the Orange Bowl game vs. Iowa in which Iowa's D put the clamps down on the offense (IIRC, Iowa had like 7 or 8 of the 11 on d that night play in the NFL, including Adrian Clayborne, who is back with the Falcons).
