Do you mean closing the deal on the field? I would agree with that pertaining to Cotton, although it appears Bo doesn't share our sentiment. When it comes to recruiting, I think Cotton is an asset - or at least, this class lends credence to that belief. Cotton was the lead or co-lead recruiter on: Daniel Davie, Ryan Klachko, Tyler Moore, Ryne Reeves, Zach Sterup and David Sutton. Cotton accounted for a lot of "stars" in this year's recruiting class, so maybe he really is an asset there. Someone who pays more attention to recruiting would have to chime in here to correct me if I'm wrong... Someone in another thread mentioned that one more coach may be reassigned. I wonder if that wouldn't be Cotton, moving to an Admin role, but still involved in recruiting. Pure speculation on my part, of course. Getting them to sign on the line which is dotted is lovely; but if he can't close on the field, then what good is he to us as a "teacher" of the game. If he can't close, then he needs to hit the bricks. Example: I bought some prime ribeyes from Sams, and put them in the fridge. If ya don't cook the meat, it gets moldy. Doesn't matter that it's prime - mold doesn't care. Point is, if you are going to get the good stuff when shopping for groceries, ya better have someone who is prepared to cook up a good meal, and not ruin dinner!

I think Frost would be a great match for our team. He is emotional and passionate like Bo and Carl, and the guy is a natural winner. He is a hard worker, and a competitive SOB! which is exactly the type we need on Offense. I like the idea of Co-OC at this point, because he may not be 100% ready to go at it alone, but in time, I could see it.

I agree, Cotton needs to go. To give him the new OL recruits would be like throwing them away. The problem with Watson and Cotton? They are nice guys, but they aren't Closers. IF YA WANT TO WORK HERE, CLOSE! Always Be Closing.

I've heard a lot of rumors about Phillips/Frost; but there is also an even bigger rumor floating around that NU has already hired Norm Chow away from UCLA; apparently someone said they spotted him at the airport as well. Anyone have any up to date info on this??????? IMO Norm Chow would not be a good fit for NU, and I hope we go w/ Frost.
