They let house run off his best assistant in Cain and hire a guy House had a relationship with in Lindsey. That makes me think House had a good bit of say in hiring Cooks and Steeples as well.


This is just wrong. Steeples and Cooks were hired before he even contacted house.

I don’t know the timeline but that sounds right. Kelly has a long time relationship with Cooks, he demoted him from coaching to an admin job at ND. And I think he knew Steeples from camps and the recruiting trail? Those from all appearances were 100% Kelly hires.

And you know this how? Most of the hires Kelly has made were announced well after the deal was done. The fans don’t know the actual timeline on any of it.

It’s possible, but we don’t know that. They likely went back and forth through his agent on hires and such while he finished his last NFL season.

Cooks did work for Kelly, so that may have made a difference with him. A bad hire, but connections do matter.

I wonder if Cain recommended Steeples since both came out of St Louis. There was no other obvious connection to him.
