Keep the faith, EMU fans!!
I have had faith in cc and his staff but while I think they are solid coaches recruiting is an area they need to work on and improve
Exactly!!
Coaching including X and Os, program management, etc. seem to be one 'skill set'.
Recruiting is another thing, somewhat different.
Going back to the days of Ron Cooper, I'd suspect he was a much, much recruiter than Xs and Os, etc.
Rick Rasnick was great with Xs and Os but some believe he lost the team ('program management').
I assume most think English was better at recruiting than Xs and Os and team management.
I believe most if not all here believe CC is very strong with program management, etc. the type of person who could make a very good CEO. Can he sell like P.J or Ron Cooper? I think we'll learn in 2018 when he has a full 12 months to sell his turnaround program.
As I posted before, before we hit six wins, most of the heavy recruiting of MI prospects was done... Not many top 50 MI prospect uncommitted the night we beat BSU.
