This is a Mike London kind of hire. Psychotic recruiter. History at GT. He was the guy responsible for signing the best recruiting class in GT history. He did good things under O'Leary. He recruited so well Tuscaloosa immediately stole him. If he can bring in the X's and O's people, particularly on offense, this could be interesting.
And for those about to say "but Mike London failed at UVA" ..... yes. But ask yourself what caused VT to fall. I would suggest it was Mike London severing the pipeline between Norfolk and Blacksburg. The Hokies haven't been the same since. And Mike London didn't exactly have a stellar staff beyond himself.
