I don't know why I didn't think about it before....but I remember after Miami won the NC in 1983 and Howard Schnellenberger left for the USFL and in 1984 UM hired some unknown coach from (coincidentally) Oklahoma State and we all asked "Who?". He was hardly an ELITE coach. You might want to check how those UM teams did in those years he was there ('84-'88) and the what those players that he recruited acheived under his predecessor from '89 through '91. As dominating a program as college football has seen for a 10-years stretch since most of us have been alive.

Michigan, the winningest program in college football history made out OK taking an unkown assistant named Schembechler from Miami of Ohio in 1969....and Nebraska made out even better when they replaced the legendary Bob Devaney with some offensive coordinator named Tom Osborne in 1972.
