Second round of coaching announcements

[TalonsUp]

A concern that I have is Gilbert, he brings the smoke with our recruiting but can he be everywhere? Owens is a huge resource but he can’t visit coaches, families or kids. He can sit things up where our foreigners can visit. I know I’m blowing it up a lot, but to think theirs not going to be eyes on coach o just waiting to slap recruiting violations upon us (Smut). So to me the support staff lb coach is another product that finds talent but has NEVER been in a high school or living room. I pray I’m wrong but we were blazing until the defense came onboard

That doesn't mean the director of recruiting can't go on visits

You can have X amount of coaches out at once and there was some kind of change they made that allowed Luke to go out I can’t remember what it was though.

Big increases to the assistant salary pool but where’s the beef? We have a bunch of young recruiters coming in but who is going to develop all of these guys? I feel like we are building a FCS staff when we are supposed to be developing at top tier G5 staff.

I've been relating to most concerns, but this is a stretch IMO.

I'm alright with this hire.  Call it cautiously optimistic.  They have more college experience than Todge.  They have a will to win at all costs that's greater than Mac and SL.  And, they're doing something we haven't ever addressed: they're trying to build bridges towards top DFW talent.

The question remains on how that will work out. Will we be flipping Baylor and TCU recruits to UNT or flipping ACU and Tarleton recruits to UNT?
