On the one pic with all the guys he coached, I know one of them personally. As soon as I heard we hired him and saw that pic I reached out because frankly I didn't know much about him, his exact words back to me "he's dope. one of the best CB coaches I had and still sends me tips, a lot of his former players keep in touch just for his coaching"
This guy has been in the NFL for a few years so while fans maybe didn't think a lot of him, his former players do which I think holds water, not to mention CB recruiting couldn't be MUCH worse so anything is likely an improvement.
Also USCe is just a dumpster fire. Any decent recruit in the area is likely poached by Clemson or UGA, Auburn always has a decent recruiting class... the last few years USCe is ranked 88, 19, 21, 18, 21, and 25. Auburn was 48, 7, 11, 12, 9, and 9.
Its like when a coach/recruiter leaves Bama, their recruiting rank slips a little because they can't pitch Bama anymore. I am excited for Trob because he has shown the ability to ID and get the under the radar S.Fla kids. Is it still going to be a struggle keeping the 5* CB's home? Of course, we get poached every year, but my hope is in the event we miss, Trob can bring in some of these lower rated local studs who blossom late instead of last min hail mary's
