You realize you're agreeing with what I wrote, right? We're on the same page. Recruiting and talent evaluation are two very different things. You need to be good at both! Coker was able to get a lot of the top "list" guys. Huge names. Five stars. Look at my list. All puppy dogs and ice cream cones on NLOI day. Unfortunately that's also how he decided WHO to recruit too! Off lists created by failed journalists who weren't qualified to coach JV girls football or write for a real mag, let alone accurately "scout" for D1 colleges. If you've read enough of my posts over the years, I f'ing brutalize those guys, and the cooked star system. It's a joke.
Not to digress, but my favorite example is how the 38th and 338th ranked player in America are both 4-stars. Think about that. If the rankings are right and and it all goes chalk, that means a guy taken towards the top of the 2nd round of the NFL draft who becomes an instant millionaire had the same star rating coming out of HS as a guy who would be projected to the middle of the "11th round" of the draft, if it went that far, which basically means he's the 100th most desirable UFA!!! Both 4-stars. Absolute joke. They flood the market with stars so they have hundreds of darts to throw at the board.
As for the other stuff about Coker delegating and what he did to the staff to save his own ***, we agree on that as well. That's not even debatable.
