Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 3943142, member: 199"] Nice hire. Ultimately, I think the issue with P5 hiring deals with projecting a coach's ability to recruit to the school at a P5 level. You really can't predict since the recruit pool is really different from mid-major level. Having some time as an assistant at a strong national program helps as the experience of evaluating and recruiting that top 25 recruiting pool gives some exposure. And not every P5 school actually really supports WCBB - there are some programs that remain dreadful and pretty much always have been. Those are the jobs that are fatal for a young coach to accept! Sherri had early success when she was hired, first with Stacey Dales and then with the Paris sisters, her recruiting seemed to plateau and then slide. Part of that was stronger competition within the B12 as other schools took WCBB more seriously. The Holly's and Aston's of the world are pretty rare - capable of very good recruiting and less capable of coaching their recruits. [/QUOTE]
