Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 3358459, member: 199"] Interesting thread. I also question coach Q as I am not sure how 'good' he is - but he should certainly be in the conversation. Seems to me there are three distinct areas for a coach: Recruiting, Player Development, and In-game Coaching. Hard to win a championship without players, without developing the players you get, and without being able to manage the team during games. For new coaches the hardest part of building a program is achieving enough success to be able to recruit nationally. We think Geno is a genius but he was also very lucky that the NE was producing some pretty incredible talent during the 1980s and 1990s Bascom from NH, Lobo and Wolters from Mass, Rizzotti and Sales from CT. That 1991 FF team was a miracle and his first 'national level' recruit from outside the NE was probably Shea in 1996. Of those listed above, Jeff took a long time to land top 5 talent and Angel was a gift to his early success. Dawn hit her home run with Wilson having won and then lost Kelsi Bone. [/QUOTE]
