Message: [QUOTE="Hskies4Ever, post: 4051747, member: 11405"] Something I feel like we’re not focused enough on in this thread is recruiting. There was some back and forth about what side of the ball the HC should specialize in… defense is safe, offense is definitely more exciting and probably more important at this point. We all want someone with a proven track record of producing (or helping to produce) wins. That said, the top 3 attributes we’re going to need are: 1. Recruiting 2. Recruiting 3. Recruiting Talent wins. Plain and simple. I think Moorehead would be great. I think he’s more attainable than some would like to believe. I think Lashlee is more attainable than we might think as well. I also like the sound of the guy from the Giants who was mentioned towards the beginning of this thread. Many of you have brought up great FCS coaches too. Whoever it is needs to be able to recruit first and foremost. Everything else takes a backseat. At this point, we’re a tough sell to even 3 star recruits. We need someone who can get them in here, and maybe eventually even some 4 star guys. CT might not be a hot bed, but if you scale that up to New England or even the northeast, you might be talking about a decent pool of D1 talent. We need to keep those kids here. I have a friend at the Brunswick School in Greenwich. Kids in their program as well as the NE prep schools they play get Big 10 and SEC offers all the time. Ideally, we need to keep those players here. It felt like we were overmatched at every position vs Purdue. Nick Saban could walk through that door, but without ball players, even he’d have a tough time. We need someone here who will bring in talent. [/QUOTE]
