Applewhite over-valued?

I think Major is a great guy, and I've known him for years. However, my texas colleagues keep saying that Mack needs to pay him $750k and name him co-oc in order to keep him there and "reward him for putting in the work". Am I crazy for thinking they are crazy. Is he really a threat to leave? Who is going to snatch him up from them?

He is the best recruiter they have

so make him a recruiting coordinator.

Absolutely
I've seen people label him a great offensive mind and an offensive genius
I have no clue what he's done to warrant his hype

According to Rivals, he's only pulled in 10 commits over the past 5 years. Doesn't sound impressive. Is he that great of a recruiter? If so, then why not name him as recruiting coordinator instead?

I'd take him at LSU as OC of over Krapthorpe and Billy G.

Billy G has never been an OC, Applewhite has.
Kragthorpe has had rankings similar to Crowton.
Applewhite's rankings I believe were higher than Kragthorpes.

he probably did...but I think it was pretty clear at the time that Saban wasn't happy and told him to move on

This. I know he loves Alabama and Texas but I wouldn't mind a Baton Rouge boy on our staff.

No. He sucked.

Here's his resume:
2005 - QB coach at Syracuse....went 1-10 and scored the fewest points in 20 years
2006 - Rice OC - Ranked #58 in total offense, but best season offensively for them ever I believe. Still not impressive.
2007 - Bama OC - Ranked #75 in total offense, which is an improvement over 2006 in ypg, but not by ranking (#65). Still not very good.
2008-2010 - Texas RB coach & AHC
During his tenure at Texas, he's what he has accomplished as RB coach:
2007: #17 Rush Offense (before he got there) (539 carries)
2008: #41 (508 carries)
2009: #61 (513 carries)
2010: #66 (433 carries)
Colt McCoy was the starter at QB from 2006-2009 fwiw.

Too many things going on with Major, good guy and coach. In 2002, he almost didn't end up at Tx. He was set to Ga at another school. A few things went on at bama. It was a good for him to move on. I wish him the best.....he keeps adding to his resume...
