So basically you want to hire him because he was able to recruit that O'Quinn (or however you spell it) kid?

All I've ever said is I think this guy deserves a shot. Another name in the hat like you and everyone else is doing. I wouldn't mind the hire because it damn sure doesn't look like anybody else of high profile seems to want to come here. He'd come at a price that would leave room for recruiting budget.

And you want to talk about recruiting? It's not the fact that he found "that one guy who everybody overlooked", but the face that "O'quinn" and his teammates were overlooked and coached up is what was impressive. Seemed to work with FB coach Ron Cooper who had an eye for talent very well.

I like this guys demeanor, swag, and youthfulness even though he's in his early 40's. ANY coach we hire here is not a sure thing. You're taking a chance on all of them. So I would rather take a chance on an up and coming than a guy who's been a big time program and hasn't won sh*t consistantly.
