When you start with Brewster, Thigpen, and Dre as recruitors Can’t imagine better.
Does that mean you advocate Mack back to Bevo Central? Or being an Illini fan stuck with Lovie Smith do you delight in risky hires made by others?
Plus, as Thigpen has never coached in the Big 12 nor recruited Texas, how would you know how hood he is as a recruiter? He is good, but not that good. For example, he was part of the staff under Chizik at Auburn, but he was not the hot dog star recruiter. That was Trooper Taylor. who was dirty as a cesspool - whose dirtiness, by the way, featured the state of Texas.
Plus #2- as Bly has never recruited anybody to any division of college football because he has never been a coach anywhere at any level, it is impossible to have any idea what he can do.
We'll see how this works out, the whole Mack thing. At best, Mack will have us on the winning side, and not just 7 wins, and then step down voluntarily
well before he hits 75. At worst, this experiment could cost a good deal of time and increasing fan apathy.
