[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 218066, member: 2299"] Reason why I wanted Capel was because I don't think we are going to be able to recruit at the level we need to by having an X's and O's guy and "fixing" the recruiting with the assistants. IMO it will take a good recruiting staff top to bottom to get us to the level we should be. I also don't like relying on assistants alone for that because great assistants get hired away, and so you really want a strong recruiting HC to minimize the impact of that. My other cause for concern with Drew, and what makes me think the similar argument about good X's and O's assistants getting pulled away isn't as strong, is that while he has had a ton of success at Valparaiso, it is success in a one bid league. IMO he doesn't just have a ? when it comes to recruiting but also a ? in how does he stand up to the top half of the ACC in terms of planning and adjustments. It's a ? more because of a lack of opportunity to answer it one way or another, but a ? nonetheless. With Capel there really shouldn't be any ?s about his recruiting at a high enough level, and having won 30 games at OU, I don't think the ?s about his X's and O's are that much larger than the ones Drew has. With all that said, I still like Drew as a candidate and the comparison of this hire, if it turns out to be true, to the last one is silly. gregory was a middle of the road coach in the conference he was in and the fans of the program the program he was at were happy to see him leave. Drew is, imo, the best coach in the league he is in and the fans love him. And, iirc, Drew has a pretty good rep for recruiting the chicago area, which is a lot closer to recruiting Atlanta than gregory's recruiting base at Dayton. I knew gregory would fail here from day 0, and I'm not alone in that, and it wasn't some deep insight. While there are question marks surrounding Drew, I think he at least has a decent chance for success here, and if we land him then we clearly upgraded at the HC position. [/QUOTE]
