I think the best barometer of a coach's commitment to their program's future is how much time and effort they puts into recruiting. Coaches that have one foot out the door are relatively easy to spot in that respect.
KO has been a hard worker when it comes to recruiting. Let's not forget that we used to complain about JC's recruiting too. KO is aiming for the top tier of players, which is something JC rarely did. When you swing the bat that hard, you're going to have some strikeouts.
