Why? Honest question. He seems to be universally respected. Is it a recruiting thing?

With each passing year, I become more and more convinced that CFB is a talent acquisition contest. You want your coaches to be good coaches, obviously, but bringing in someone with 0 college coaching experience would be foolish in this day and age of CFB.

I saw a Twitter post today from Dan Casey who listed the four questions T. O. asked when hiring a coach and ability to teach was 4th. In the first 3 were characteristics required in recruiting.
"I've been saying it for a long time, I will not hire an assistant coach until I've seen his wife. "If she looks the part, and she's a D-1 recruit, then you got a chance to get hired. That's part of the deal. "There's a very strong correlation between having the confidence, going up and talking to a woman, and being quick on your feet and having some personality and confidence and being fun and articulate, than it is walking into a high school and recruiting a kid and selling him."
