You guys are still drinking the X cool-aid....where did this fascination with an all star staff and all star recruiters begin??
Larry Slade, Steve Caldwell, Greg Adkins, Dan Brooks, Matt Luke, David Cutcliffe, Trooper Taylor....Now that was an All Star staff and they were all All Star recruiters when they got here.....right??
Go on and do some homework and you'll see that most of that staff came from lesser known programs. Cutcliffe before he caught on at UT was a high school coach for pete's sake.....go research them all and see what I'm saying is true. In fact, only Slade had any real success on his resume before coming to K-ville.
X-man and Yaw Yaw didn't believe that recruits would come to TN for its tradition ,its "brand name"...he tried to make UT the USC of the east and removed many of the posters and images of UT's glory days and replaced them with USC success stories. He thought he needed to sell recruits on the ALL STAR Coaches. Name me one other school that does that...I'll wait. Saban?? Meyers?? Paterno?? Mack Brown?? Even Pete Carroll never did that. We all came to know some of the names of their assistants as they did well, they never sold the public on their staff....they sell their program and the school
Meyer brought many assistants from Bowling Green to Utah and then to FL. Before anyone else says Utah better than Memphis, MTSU, etc....My family lives there and until U. Meyer got there, you need to go back to the 60's and the big sky conference....gheesh!
Let Dooley do what he said he'd do...put together a staff that works well together. team chemistry is as important, if not more important for the coaching staff as it is the actual team. Let him put together a cohesive staff, that can function like a well oiled machine, rife with energetic, hungry, young up-and-comers suppliimented with some needed experienced guys
