Consider that Elko sat there and watched Jimbo manufacture the #1 recruiting class evaar with many of the same tactics. That is Elko’s measuring stick of a good recruiter. Prior to that he worked for Brian Kelly, who is as useful as a soup sandwich on the trail.
If you were to ask me who the better coach was between Akina and Joseph, I don't think there is any real debate there. For that reason I am fine with it, especially since he isn't being asked to do as much this time around.
I never quite got the hire, and it drove me crazy watching our DBs do nothing but face guard for Sark's first couple of years. Joseph was a quality recruiter, but I was never enamored with his coaching.
Bobby seems to be hinting that the guy we hire will likely be Norval McKenzie due to his recruiting ties to Georgia/Florida that can help replace Choice.
CSB, was just at our CEOs country club this week at Cordevalle. We played a round with 12 of us total, and three coworkers in front of us managed to order 24 drinks between the three of them by the time they got to the 14th hole. Needless to say they basically had to be rolled into the club house. I had to babysit two of the dipshits because they were too drunk to check out of their room and still trying to order tequila shots at the grill. I had to pile their asses rugby scrum style into a golf cart to take then 300 feet to their rooms. I then had to help them pack up their shit while not further embarrassing the company. I was so pissed, but as I was driving them to the front of the valet area I leaned over and said “What’s your surly handle?”
Between Ojo saying "I am their number 1 priority" and now us trying to flip the #3 OT in the country, plus Maximus Wright and Rosenburg now in the mix, it seems like we are making a pretty muddy path for Turntine.
