Lane Kiffin is an Elite recruiter & doesn't do crap w/ it. Give me a good coach that can coach up players rather than the Kiffins & Swinneys.
With another team having to pay penn state 9.2 million to get obrien, it will probably be a good bit before the position opens up

Elite recruiters have a much higher ceiling than gameday coaches IMO. A coach like Kiffin needs to bring in an allstar staff and he made a huge mistake bringing his dad to the west coast to face the spread. Elite players can overcome flaws in their coaches. Tennessee won't get to the top in the SEC bringing in classes ranked 10-20 every year.
Petrino was probably the best gameday coach in the SEC, yet he still couldn't even come close to beating LSU and Bama at their best.
