per ESPN:

"Having great players can make any coach look good," Florida State recruiting coordinator Tim Brewster said.

"Any good head coach understands the importance of recruiting and how talent can help you overcome a lot of different things. There's a tremendous amount of quality coaches in college football today, but the best ones are the ones that know that getting talent in recruiting translates to wins on Saturdays."

Did you even read the opening post?
 

What happens when you have mediocre talent, a god awful head coach and coordinators that leave every year?
 

As they saying goes "You can't make chicken salad out of chicken sh*t," but on the other hand, there are some guys who would take the best slices of Gold n' Plump and manage to concoct something totally inedible. It has to work together. I just tire of the contention that coaching is everything and that the right guy could take a bunch of kids from 9-man and turn them into a national powerhouse. The size of the dog in the fight usually matters more than the size of the dog in the fight provided you have recruited the right kids for your system and elevate their performance within that system.
 




Having an average kid in the right place at the right time beats having a great athlete at the wrong place at the wrong time. Of course, having a great athlete at the right place at the right time is best of all.

Stability and experience count. Coach Kill has said he expects the team to be in every game. I interpret this to mean the kids have learned the system. If you watched the bowl game and/or the spring game you saw gaps are filled, receivers are covered, the right people are blocked. This is a much better team than last year at this time
