Sam Jankovich gambled on Jimmy Johnson. Not because he consistently won at OSU, but because his teams there never gave up. Jimmy could guage talent and he recruited players based upon where he saw them in our system. He routinely made players great in positions they never played in HS. Plus, Jimmy really liked his players and that was evident to almost every home he went in to recruit a player. He was honest and not a bull shttr.
We don't have to go after proven winners. we have to find coaches that are creative, determined, have fire in their belly and are willing to win at all cost. They are out there....where's Sam?
