This sounds like something they would have said back when we were baeting them regularly in the 80s. Let me tell you something, son. You can't just "develop" your way to a title anymore. The game changed. Look at our 2021 team. Sure, we developed Stetson Bennett into a legend, but we also went and got key pieces when we needed them. That's how you win now. Back in the Dooley era, you could redshirt a kid for three years and then unleash him. Those days are gone. If you're not using the portal to fill immediate holes, you're falling behind. I hate it, I truly do. It feels like free agency and it killed the soul of the sport. But sitting on your hands and pretending it's still 1994 is a surefire way to watch your rivals pass you by. Our staff develops as well as anyone, but even Kirby Smart knows you have to play the modern game. You think Bear Bryant would have ignored a tool that helped him win? He'd have used it, and then he'd have found a way to make you hate that he used it.
