[QUOTE="UofIChE06, post: 1302464, member: 9264"] I don't know why people are stressing UI should hire Guy A because he could bring Recruit X. I get it MP is at Mizzou because they hired his dad. How often do those situations actually work out long term? You hire someone based on the belief they can bring in multiple recruits over their tenure [B][U]and[/U][/B] coach players on the team. Walker was retained both because of his connections in the area and the work he has done with the team both during the previous regime and as the interim. Between Coleman and Hierman I would take Heirman not because he may be able to persuade some LaLu recruits but because he both recruited and coached a premier team on the HS circuit to a national championship. He took a good LaLu program and pushed it to the next level by both recruiting players (both stars and supporting players) and then forming them into a team with an identity. LaLu did not win Dick's based on talent although they had plenty. [/QUOTE]
