He has been asked by the Admin for several years to bring up the strength of the OOC schedule. Some years it is slightly stronger than others. They aren't ready for Texas A&M, but the OOC needs to be a lot better. "There is always a larger incoming group of players who need time to gel, and get their feet under them, or schedule is a multi year effort and it is hard to get the bigger teams scheduled."
He is a good coach and they will always be solid, with some better than average years mixed in, and as long as he doesn't sink the ship Tech will be content. He does everything the right way, but the schedule is a constant frustration.
Baby steps - Let's replace our two lowest RPI games -329 Southern & 296 Nicholls - with games of 100 RPI higher - Houston (233) & SMU (174). I know RPI changes year-to-year, so coaches could look at 3-5 year averages. Also, this is what I want for ALL sports.
That would improve our OOC opponents RPI from avg 240 to avg 218. Just those two opponents.
Then the next season replace the next 2 lowest and so on.
Pretty quickly our OOC opponents would be in 150s range.
I wish our administration would come up with agreements with AAC schools - SMU/Houston/Memphis/Tulsa - to play in ALL sports. Do 4 or 6 year H/H deals.
