[QUOTE="The Galloping Ghost, post: 1314184, member: 5587"] From what I've read and seen, Underwood seems like a vastly superior coach in terms of X's and O's and that should win out in the long term. I will say, my biggest fear with our program's future is that we struggle next year without Tilmon's size inside and a less than stellar season hurts Underwood's ability to recruit in the short term. Since Martin's biggest strength is recruiting and he'd be bringing Tilmon with him in this hypothetical, one could make the argument for Martin. However, Underwood has shown that he is ready and willing to adapt his game plan to his personnel (something we have seriously lacked with our last two coaches), and since Smith should be able to play valuable minutes next season, we should be able to tread water. As long as next season isn't a complete disaster, our future should be considerably brighter with Underwood. [/QUOTE]
