-Be ready willing and able to sell the UAB brand to the local community. Be prepared to be the vehicle to sell the brand outside the metro
-Be relatable to recruits. It's a tough sales environment right now. But you NEED to be able give them the opportunity to show their skills to get to the next level. Be the destination for guys in the transfer portal.

To say this hire is critical is an understatement. Someone is going to have a very wide skill set and have the staff to delegate

He does tick every box there, but I still believe the speculation that he'll try for Georgia Tech or Auburn. But I would gladly take him for a few 10+ win seasons before FSU starts calling him back.

Apparently, someone on Facebook said we have been in contact with him and his agent twice already.

I just don't see him coming here being in the realm of possibility. Yes, we can offer him more than JSU but he's not there for the money. What reason would he have for coming to UAB, knowing that bigger and better jobs can imminently be his if he wants them.
