And not all that many coaches are great or even good salesmen. If the coaching staff doesn't have a least a few good to great salesmen on board, you might as well forget about landing top recruits.
There's a reason why some coaches get most of the top athletes while others get the scraps. It's their ability to sell their program to 17- and 18-year-old high school kids. Obviously, factors like facilities, tradition/history of the program, the track record of putting players in the NFL, etc. come into play. But a great salesman can overcome some of those obstacles and sell a vision of future greatness to a player. Only time will tell if we have that kind of salesman on our staff.
