Lebby recruiting

[preachermatt83]

Lebby is working harder than any coach we have ever had recruiting this 2025 and beyond class. He is getting us in The conversation with some outstanding players.

Have we had a HC in recent memory that attacked recruiting this hard? Maybe Jackie, but none since him that were putting in this kind of effort.

Nope.

I would say of our recent HCs, Moorhead would be the one that attacked recruiting pretty hard. Moorhead seemed to do a lot of hands on recruiting during the whole process. Even Jackie tended just to come in to close recruits. I think if Moorhead had better leadership skills to actually manage a program he would have done pretty well on the recruiting front. But Lebby seems to be next level.

[mo7888]

Yup... but if you only judged this by looking at other boards you'd think he was a scrub at recruiting..

Moorhead loved recruiting and was pretty good at it. He just sucked as a head coach.

We won 9 games in 2022 with a lot of players Moorhead recruited.

Lebby seems to be another hands-on recruiter. He should be a better coach though

Maybe Jackie but I'm thinking that Lebby will end up potentially being better.

As crazy as it sounds and this was a little before my time but I remember Felker was considered a really good recruiter. I'm not sure how good so I might be off there because it was before my time.

Rockey was an excellent recruiter. His recruits were the foundation for Jackie's first few years and were very good. Rockey just wasn't a good coach.

Yeah! I remember people saying that all the time pre-Internet. Jackie was definitely able to win his first two years with his players. Really had a lot of close losses in 1991- Alabama and Tennessee came down to the wire and losing to Memphis was pretty fluky. They literally busted a fullback dive for like 50 yards for a TD. Not sure how that happens. LOL.

My uncle is huge om booster and I remember him telling me that Jackie wouldn't win because he couldn't recruit like Rockey lol!

He was quite mistaken! LOL.

Jackie's coaches were the recruiters he was a closer like Saban. I remember Lee Corso said what held us back from going next level was our QB recruitment.

Yall said this last year about Arnett?

As bad as jomo was he busted it recruiting. It wasn't for a lack of effort. He worked at it as hard as possible. The two he was sandwiched between not so much. With that said, the results weren't all that different. And don't know if Joni's evals were that good either.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Arnett used Mason Miller and others to lock down that class. Then he fired everyone. If he had kept them all, he would still be our coach today.

[Commercecomet24]

Yes he was and I laughed at him when he said it!

Effort

No. Arnett did nothing compared to this level that Lebby is hustling.

[Coach34]

Lebby has alot more money at his disposal than Arnett did.

[CaptainObvious]

Lebby also isn't strangled by the boys club of Friend, Peterson and Campbell doing the bidding of the Old Money Coffee Club who meets with <THE BUS DRIVER> at the local Breakfast Diner of Choice to strategize.
