it makes me wonder about the recruiting coordinator duties.
Is Da Coach O still trying to handle these duties after becoming HC?

LSU's recruiting coordinator is Dameyune Craig. I don't know if he has held the position before, so O may be doing the job while giving DC some on-the-job training.

Coach O is probably also still recruiting the guys who he had built relationships with while being the D-line coach.

I looked it up yesterday and the recruiting coordinator position involves a lot. He is responsible for recruiting his area, compliance issues (so the school doesn't commit violations), arranges travel plans for visiting recruits, evaluation of their transcripts to make sure they will be eligible, among many other duties.

In 2008, Morehead State listed a job opening for a recruiting coordinator/special teams/defensive line assistant coach. The job requirements were jaw-dropping. Here are the requirements for just the recruiting coordinator aspect of the open position.

Schools have gotten in hot water with the NCAA over various recruiting violations, and many of the violations committed by schools were due to erroneous paperwork, phone logs not being updated or improper contact with a recruit.

I can see why coaches wouldn't like the recruiting aspect of college football.
