I would bet most OL and DL coaches in college are not top recruiters - unless they are throwing around benefits (Coach O comes to mind in his USC days). It's usually your personality positions - WR coach, CB coach, maybe QB coach - who are the star recruiters. I get he struggles with it, I just don't think its that unusual for an OL or DL coach to not be a good recruiter. Maybe I'm wrong.

As a side note : If you know anything about HS football in GA - ALL the top high school teams recruit and have for 30 years or more in some cases. Player poaching is an art. It's usually limited to the HC and a couple of boosters, but there is definitely "recruiting" in HS football.
