Then you've never coached for a team with high profile prospects.
I've coached at Columbus hs and for the SFE. The relationships that they build with their recruiters are crucial.
We had Coach Kool, who was known as one, if not the best DLine coach in the country. We led the country in sacks and TFL's, yet kids would turn him down left and right. Not just for programs with less productive defenses and greener position coaches...but less wins, as well. Searles, out recruited him. The Oline coach that has produced ****** lines and less NFL prospects.
