[QUOTE="spartansstink, post: 132922849, member: 1488840"] Coached in the NFL. Suppose there is a stud recruit that both WVU and UNC want. Belichick goes in to the living room with his Super Bowl rings, calls Tom Brady, tells the kid he knows how to get him to the NFL because he's been there and won that. What does Rod bring? Don't slouch on the couch? I coached the team when it won before you were ever born? I won the Conference USA title last year? Remember Pat White? No, well nobody other than a WVU fan does either. Pat Macafee likes me though. This is the point. You don't contend for and win conferences with just X's and O's and tough talk. You MUST get the Jimmies and Joes and this is potentially Rod's biggest weakness. He hasn't been relevant in 20 years so obviously there is a big concern. He may be able to bring in folks who can get recruiting done. At least that's what we both hope for. Because if he can't, all we've done in the end is traded one poor recruiter for another with likely similar records. [/QUOTE]
