That super spread just kills it in recruiting. Coaches sell those video game passing and receiving number and the prospects eat that shit up.My friends associated with the UCF program gave me some insight into their "Final 4" candidates for the next HC. Apparently former Briles assistant, Dino Babers, is the current leader with final interviews scheduled to start Sunday.
What he accomplished at E. Illinois and then in 2 years at BGSU have been impressive. I'm not a huge fan of turning into a Baylor style spread team, but I can't argue with his results or how I've seen him interact with his players and media.
IMO, that's also why the Big 12 maybe has trouble pulling great defensive talent. "Look at those spread offenses, you won't even get to play defense there, come to the SEC."
