So 1 year recruiting and player development in the SEC….Doesn’t sound like what BK said he wanted. I don’t copy and paste from On3 but I’m sure Crown can go over and get what BK said he was looking for…Not sure this cat mentioned above has that.

I find it wild that it was Les Miles who gave him his first power 5 job.

It will be coach O
