[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1549858, member: 588522"] It's not always as black and white as an ace recruiter or an X's and O's guy, but I'd agree which way I'd lean (the recruiter). As long as you have enough humility to admit your coaching chops aren't elite, you can hire a staff that'll make up for that. I personally see getting more support staff who are excellent football guys as an easier task than getting a group of solid recruiters. I thought Lovie's initial hirings showed he thought he could win by coaching up young guys, regardless of skill. I think his second round showed he understood recruiting was key. I think he took a step back with the latest round. I think it'll be about getting a perfect mix for him, lets hope he's found it. [/QUOTE]
