Very interesting.
For reference, Dabo was a 40 year-old WR Coach and excellent recruiter -- with no HC or Coordinator experience. (He may have briefly held the title AHC.) The Clemson AD simply recognized that he had "it".

Sorry, meant to reply to the same post you had replied to.
I assume when you say 'we', you are talking about this board.
This is who I was referring to last night- dudes is a huge up and comer. Honestly could be a stellar hire.

So...how would you feel about Moorehead? Be honest.
Joe or Aaron? I’d be happy with Joe

I was at that game. Sadly I remember being excited we tied them.
Are we talking about aaron moorehead, Joe moorehead or Brian Hartline?
Hartline? That is very risky. But it fits the recruiter at the top and good staff below idea some of us have been clamoring for.

Indeed. For me, Hartline is the #1 guy. Time for Josh to sell this program.
I don't know, think the next guy should have enough coaching experience that he couldn't still be starting for us on Saturday...
He is 247’s #1 recruiter so thats awsome!! Curious what type of staff he’d build though.
seems like taking a pretty big leap of faith.
Recruiting for OSU is like comparing the Olentangy River to the Boneyard Creek.

Hartline would be a huge risk in my opinion. He’s only been coaching 3 years and never had to recruit anywhere but top 4 OSU.

I have a very hard time believing hartline is at the top of Whitman’s list, or even on it

That was my guess too. Now, need to do my research, because he was nowhere on my radar.
Huge risk, but if he keeps/gets top talent to Illinois..think of the endless possibilities. Plus if hes a homerun hire we finally find a guy who’d succeed and move up vs disappearing and never coaching again.
But then again, last time we hired a big time recruiter from Ohio State that worked out gre............
Much has been said about records as an indicator of potential success. A snapshot of overall record is not necessarily a significant indicator
of a coaches value. A couple of these men have taken over programs with poor win/loss records and experience 2-3 years of rebuilding. Changes in scheme, philosophy and culture take time let alone recruiting the right talent for the program. Monken took a couple years but will likely go to
his 4th bowl game (if there is one) in the past 5 years. Liepold is on a similar track. The point is, look at trends and program direction when hiring a coach.

Where did this Aaron Moorehead talk come from? 
Wouldn’t say he’s at the top but you would be foolish to think that Hartline isn’t on the list.
Josh wants someone who can recruit. Hartline is the best of the best.

I understand that part. But there’s a big difference between an osu wr coach recruiting and a HC recruiting.
