Hiring the father to recruit the son.

Just curious how often this comes up. I seem to remember it coming up at Arkansas a few years ago now.
Reason I ask is that Jackson Jeffcoat (5 Star DE) is a major recruit this season, and wouldn't ya know it his father is interviewing at Oklahoma.
Maybe his dad would have gotten that job on his own, I don't really know much about the guy other than he was the d-line coach at Houston(not exactly known for their defense).
If the kid was going to go to Oklahoma anyway, then that's one thing and I'd wish him well, it just strikes me as wrong to interview the dad 2 weeks before signing day.

It's totally legal and pretty common right now, but the NCAA is trying to curb it and may try to control the practice a bit in the next few years.

Does seem sorta' grimy, doesn't it. This absolutely throws a wrench in the Merit System.
