Let me start by saying that I really don't want this to turn into a "I like JJ vs. Get him out of here" debate BUT, after reading a rivals article about which coaches are out getting which guys, I noticed that June is nowhere to be mentioned. I don't think this is something specific to him - most schools' recruiters are not necessarily the head coach - but why is this the case? Since it is the offseason (save a bowl game), why can the head coach not be out there aggressively trying to get guys? Is it because the other coordinators have already formed relationships with these players? Can someone with more knowledge address this?

I think Head Coaches are severely restricted in making in-home or off-campus recruiting. I think its limited to one visit. That's what caused the controversy about Coaches-In-Waiting.

ah, that would explain it. Why such restrictions on HCs?

HC's are lazy. They got tired of Ron Meyer out working them, so they restricted themselves.

also, b/c it would give an unfair advantage to schools in talent rich areas if a larger than life head coach could visit kids houses more often.

You can also shoot a movie, call it "The Blind Side," and have larger than life coaches make cameo appearances.

This is the thinking of the 99% isn't it?

Head Coaches are CEO's that close deals. They don't do the groundwork.

The movie Blind Side lied!

I hated that movie

Loved it, best movie in a long time. I mean its the ultimate inspiring sports story. Going from gangs, to finding a family, to conflict, to nfl.

Saban might be a good football coach, but something tells me he is a huge [deleted].
