I saw this post from Football Study Hall about a month ago but forgot to post it. I'm interested to hear what people here think would be the best way to go about doing this.

This is the situation:

Tomorrow, Wake Forest head coach Jim Grobe retires. Stunned by the departure, Wake Forest hires you as Grobe's replacement. Five years and six months from now, your Demon Deacons take down Random Football Power (take your pick: Alabama, Ohio State, USC, whoever) to win the 2018 national title. Sold souls and incredibly illegal recruiting tactics aside, how did you do it? How did you build your talent base? How did you manage your scheduling? What strategies and tactics were most directly beneficial to your team's title run? In football terms, Wake Forest is basically Stanford with a tiny alumni base. How would a program like Wake bring home the crystal football?

Good thought experiment for Wake fans I think

I thought this was about basketball and my whole answer was going to be: Harry Giles.
 
plague that hits everyone except W-S even then we have to worry about local HS teams and WSSU
 
You somehow convince the NCAA that every member of the New York Giants has a remaining year or eligibility, and every member of the that team is accepted and enrolls at Wake.

Other than that, no way.

...and keep Lobo 1,000 miles away from the team. He would hold Manning to 200 yds passing/game.
 
Only in dreams. WF will not come close a National Championship in football.
 
So, let's change the question. How would you get Wake to a bowl game every year?
 
Reaffiliate with the Southern Baptist Convention and make Wake Forest football the equivalent of Notre Dame for Catholics. Recruit every Baptist minister in the ACC/SEC footprint with "walk around" donation money to explain to their biggest, fastest and meanest young men that the only way to save their unholy souls is to play football for Wake. Next, merge with Winston Salem State and allow athletes to meet the WSSU academic requirements if they want to play football for Wake. Create a cosmetologist major at Wake/WSSU to attract hot young ladies, generally not wanting to overburdened with academic requirements to create a pool of willing girlfriends for the football players. Have the Med School receive special permission from the State to have an exclusive medical marijuana research study for the use of weed for the treatment of all football injuries. Open a tattoo parlor on the quad. Line up all the local auto dealers to create "test driver" programs for the football players. Trick Charlie Ergen into donating $1,000,000,000 to the football team to finance all of the above and change the name of the team to the Wake Forest Echostars playing their home games at "The DISH".

Sounds like the program to me.
 
Recruit a team full of special needs players. Hope everyone feels sorry for us and lets us win.
