No wonder Spurrier quit. The level of arse kissing these grown arse men do to a 17 year old kid is crazy.


And get paid millions based upon whether they are able to land these 4 or 5 star players?

90% of the job is recruiting great talent who would not need college anyway if not for age requirements in Pro sports.



Spurrier could always remained in the NFL ( but could not hack it) where everyone gets 4/5 star players .

I agree, but it has reached a new level in the past 5 or 10 years and that is hard to argue. I am sure some of these old school coaches hate the thought of having to go kiss arse to some HS kid that hasn't done shite, but thinks he is the GOAT. Recruiting has gotten out of hand, and it's getting to the point where it is hurting these young men by inflating their self worth.

Many sports yes.

Football, hell no. There are very few high schoolers if any that could handle the rigors of the NFL straight out of high school. Physically, mentally and emotionally.
