[QUOTE="thunderwear, post: 1515797, member: 445550"] I actually like this move, Lovie is building his legacy. He is bringing in young guys that are going to work tirelessly and he wants to mold them do they fit within his coaching tree. If I didn’t think the guys could do it, I would agree. But I think these are the kind of guys you want. Davis who is willing to stick it out and be patient (and this provides stability). And Lindsey who has produced NFL players from non power 5 programs and has recruiting chops. I like these hires and I understand they are not the big splash hires that some would like to see. To twangers point. These moves show that we are going to look to create pipelines across non-border state lines. Whether or not this works will be apparent in this next class. I actually like the risk. I think Newton, spann, riggins showed the coaching staff that Lovie has inroads to a particular type of player (where they are from) and I like testing this water. I think it aims to capitalize on Lovies brand. Not sure Chicago or the burbs will be fruitful for us whole Lovie is coach. But it is a risk [/QUOTE]
