First of all, having coached as long as he has I believe he understands he would have to bring in top 15 recruiting class every year. Also, He can surround himself with experienced SEC recruiters. One other thing you haven't mentioned when you talked about him being successful at smaller schools but that isn't as easy as you make it sound when you play OU, Texas, A&M and TCU. And here is the best part your leaving out, He did it with far less talent which tells me he can coach players up. That's what we need with the talent we do have. Just my 2 cents.
You can't win in this conference when you finish in the bottom half of the league in recruiting.
Defensive lines will blow up the O line and his offense won't score points. We won't be able to stop anyone on defense.
Gotta recruit studs to win in the SEC. It's not the Pac where you can win with points alone.
Wow. A caller just called into the sports animal. Said his wife is friends with Curries wife.
Caller stated Curries wife was an emotianl wreck yesterday crying telling her, " He just did what they told him to do".
Pat Ryan said, "Yes, it's not a good situation for John or his family".

We need this circus to continue. Everyone is missing the big picture here. We need to rid ourselves of the Haslam regime. There's fighting and backstabbing going on. That's WHY we can't hire a coach. I mean we had Brohm done and someone blocked it.
We need this to continue until we rid ourselves of Currie and get someone as AD who wants to win.
I think the ceiling is probably higher but share all your concerns.
We all agree he's going to have bring in some big time recruiters. However, do those type guys want to work for Mike Leach? He's a weird cat - which is sometimes fine - but do they want to deal with it on the ground level day in and day out?
Like, I can't imagine Kevin Steele jumping at the opportunity to make Mike Leach his boss.
