When a coach has to surround himself with great recruiters, then you're in serious trouble???? Where the hell did that come from? NO successful coach at this level will survive if he doesn't surround himself with good recruiters. NO coach can be in Miami, Atlanta, Louisiana, Memphis, Texas, Mobile etc. all at the same time.
Well, maybe Saban...sure..but we're talking about mere mortals here.
Seriously, what's the big stink up at the Crapstoned? Kevin Steele and Lance Thompson just left. Anyone crying about the football knowledge they're taking with them? Nope. Bama fans are holding their breath over top 5 recruits like Trent Richardson and hoping he doesn't open it back up now because of the defection. Recruiting is a huge part of any assistant's duties and no one, Pete Carroll included, is going to stay at the top without guys around him that can go out and get the job done on the recruiting trail.
