Definitely agree, he would of been our best recruiting coach in a very long time. But lets be honest if NIL didn't exist and, even more importantly, we didn't have the buy in from the boosters/university he would not be at this level.
The SECs of the world would of have been throwing bags under the table with the NCAA turning a blind eye and we wouldn't be able to compete at that level. Just take a look at Coley here vs Georgia/Texas A&M before NIL. Was our best recruiter and got us some guys we otherwise wouldn't have, but recruits he got here vs Georgia/A&M is not the same.
