I'm thinking that may be the case.

From when ASU hired him 2 years ago:

Suddes served as the Director of Player Personnel at the University of Texas under head coach Mack Brown during the 2013 season and previously spent six seasons at the University of Alabama under head coach Nick Saban.

“Patrick has solidified himself as a real asset in this business and has worked for some of the most respected coaches and administrators at two of the most notable programs in the country,” coach Graham said. “He knows what it takes to succeed at the highest level and his wealth of experience in all aspects of football operations will help further our goal of bringing a championship to Tempe.” 

While at Texas, Suddes’ duties included organizing weekly recruiting meetings, developing monthly recruiting initiatives, coordinating and monitoring all recruiting events and day-to-day activities, overseeing summer camps and coaching clinics, and creating a marketing and strategic plan that included social media expansion and mobile app development. 

"Patrick is a real star in the recruiting business,” coach Brown said. “He's unbelievably organized, thorough and tireless. He did a tremendous job at Alabama, reshaped our recruiting efforts at Texas and will be a great asset to Todd and his staff at Arizona State."

Wasn't that during the time when Texas really started sinking to their all-time low?

They owe it all to Patrick Suddes.


BTW, I'm just F'n around.  Never heard this guy's name in my life until this thread was posted. I'm sure if he spent any significant amount of time slurping the Nicky jizz, he's all that and a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos.

If he served as little Nicky's director of payments recruiting, he still has a few frequent flyer miles built up.
