It is very easy to understand, but very difficult to execute.
Stack Top 2 -3 recruiting classes on top of each other. If you end up with 8-9 players out of each class, you end up with 30-40 big time players, tons of depth and practices that are tougher than half your games
Find the QB you trust and believe in. Guys like Jake Fromm and Stetson Bennett were played in front of guys like JT Daniels and Justin Fields.
Phenomenal Strength and Conditioning program. Have to be physical
Head Coach who do NOT call plays or coordinate one side of the ball. Nick Saban and Kirby Smart are the best defensive coaches and coordinators on those staffs. But they delegate those jobs because they are watching the game, running the team, and "MANAGING SITUATIONS"
In this regard Freeman is on the right track, he is emphasizing highly rated classes, not coordinating the defense, he watches the game and runs the team. He just needs to continue to get better and be ready to step on the toes of the OC. Which I am sure he is hesitant to do, because of his limited experience on offense. Saban and Smart are defensive guys but have no issue lighting up their OC's. See Saban and Kiffin
Imagine if Smart or Saban were up 38-31 with 8 minutes to go, inside the opponents 10-yard line, and they got there because they were running the ball at will. Then on 1st down, the OC calls a pass, because he "thought" he had a look? That play would have knocked out quicker than Tyson vs Spinks. Freeman needs to develop that aspect of his Head Coach bag.
We watched Kirby Smart basically save Georgia's season with a timeout that squashed a perfectly called fake punt by Ohio State, then he freezes the Ohio State kicker BEFORE, he got to kick the ball. When coaches call the time out very late, you essentially give the kicker a free practice kick.
Imagine giving a golfer with a one stroke lead on the 18th hole of the Masters, a practice drive because you called a late time out? Really talented people usually do not miss twice.
