Attempting to copy Alabama will result in massive failure


There are too many things that cannot simply be "copied." I would say a similar thing applies to a couple of other schools as well. Attempting to run and coach and prep the way Alabama does with only 4-8 4* athletes will simply be a catastrophe.

I believe there are multiple ways to strive for excellence - we have to carve out our own way.

Personally, it isn't going to be the Wisconsin route either. I believe ACC defenses will require us to have a better QB than Wisconsin generally has. I know, people will say the B10 defenses are so much better than ACC, but I don't think it is as simple as that. Coaching, players, and schemes differ between conferences and winning in the ACC requires something different than winning in the B10. Although, I will say, it's a helluva a lot closer than what is required in the SEC or PAC12.
