Yep, that's the ticket. Let's haul off and hire a coach from The Bronx, New York City, New York. His Fordham University experience will serve him well navigating the rural backroads of the SEC****. For gosh sakes we have enough trouble keeping coaches and wives happy from metropolitan areas of the south. Some of you need to stop and think about what you are saying. This is way more culture shock than can be overcome.
Recruit enough? So just keep on like we’re doing? Unreal. If we get Moorhead will absolutely take a step back in recruiting no doubt and we can’t afford to do thatQuote:

Every coach in America would hire Bud Foster (not Black, Bud Black was baseball player). He was a bigger deal than the head coach. Do you think VA Tech would've kept their defensive staff if Foster had left?Quote:

But if he comes and brings 7 guys with no ties to the south and it could be a bit of an uphill battle early.
Yep! No one is even thinking about thisQuote:

Enough with the recruiting. It's important but for the HC it is not # 1 on the list that he is the Allstar recruiter. It's down on the criteria. The HC needs to have recruiters on staff and know the importance but he does not have to be "the guy". He just needs to be able to close and emphasize it with his coaches. He can't have that much contact to begin with.
You either trust Cohen to make the right hire or you don't.

Moorehead allegedly has done great things for recruiting at TSUN.
Brain fart. Didn't say anything contrary to that but you just asked to name a school that did. VT is the answer. And there have been several coaches over the years who retained staff. Dan kept Reed Stringer. It's not unheard ofQuote:
