That's a romantic view of a bygone era that doesn't win games now. Florida's new coach is right to talk about waking a giant because the resources and brand are already there, unlike at a KCAC school. You build with bricks, but you also need blue-chip talent.

The "soul" of the game is adapting, and clinging to the past is how you get left behind.
