Kiffin and the staff before obviously could recruit, and had the players believing in them and the system. Kiffin was a joke as far as his PR skills, saying some of what he said and then blaming it on the fact UT needed that sort of press to get the name out their. Monte is and will always be a legend in the NFL, but that does not always mean it will translate to success in the college ranks, we were awful against the spread, UT has always had great defense, no matter who the coach is. Coach O is a disgrace to college football, but he recruits well and is a solid line coach.
Dooley is supposed to be a great recruiter and LSU fans will tell you he brought in their talent to win the BCS. Will he recruit well here,?????. Can he coach in the S.E.C.,??????. A lot of question marks surrounding Dooley, so we need to give the man a chance. Wilcox IMO is the better COLLEGE football defensive coordinator, and the man is not one dimensional, he will prove to be one of the best within the next few years. Chaney has a proven track record and although his offenses are not prolific, they get the job done when ran properly, he is a great asset to UT. Baggett, no need to explain just look who he has coached. Smith has also coached some pretty high profile guys and played the position, not sure how well he can recruit, but when he throws out names of he has coached I am sure he will do fine. Joseph from what I am reading is quite the players coach and should do well in recruiting.
Cannot say how this new staff will be until after next season, let's give them a chance. All I can say is at least we do not have to worry about what violations we're breaking, that's always a plus. The ball is in Dooleys court, we will find out soon enough if he can handle the presurre and be a legit coach.
