He has been on the staff at multiple power 5 schools.
How has Alcorn done since he left there ???

So we shouldn’t hire a guy because a few high school coaches don’t like him ??

Maybe he and CML get along.
Maybe He moves to an on the field role in a few years .
Maybe he has some connections outside the state with coaches.
And I’m sure with JH on staff that high school coaches won’t veer their kids in other directions..
I mean it’s not like he and a previous staff of his convinced a kid to flip from a rival school, and In turn not even offer the kid a scholarship days before NSD..

Come on people.. geez
And side note We ain’t Bama....
It's just that he seems like he's more of a fit for an analyst role than a recruiting coordinator role to me. So let's say he replaces Arnett in a year or two at DC. Then we have to hire another recruiting coordinator again.

Honestly Hughes fits better at the RC role IMO. Hopson is probably a better on the field coach than Hughes. I mean, if you say Jay Hopson I have never ever heard anyone talk about what a great recruiter he is/was. See Will Hall at the same school being talked about as a great recruiter so it isn't a USM thing.

Heck- I'd hire Reed Stringer as the RC before I hire Hopson and he was on Hopson's staff. At least that hire would make some sense.
