[QUOTE="Tevo, post: 1305279, member: 185365"] I'd guess the person best able to predict if Underwood will be able to effectively implement his system of offense (and defense), without the help of his assistants from OSU would be Underwood himself. If there was a way to get those assistants (either from OSU, or from other schools that implement a similar system) and he felt it was critical, I'm sure he would have done that. If he instead felt that either (a) there weren't any other folks like that available, or (b) he felt confident he could implement that system himself, either directly or by training his new assistants, and that his new assistants should instead hit the ground running on the recruiting trail, then he'd go that route. Based on his hires, I suspect there either were the people available he'd prefer, or he decided hiring recruiters was the best bet. Either way, the result is the same, and we have to assume that he felt it was the best course available. And he would know better than anyone. [/QUOTE]
