That's what I was asking. Rationale, rather then winner by default. He's been here less then a year and I am not sure if he's a good coach or not as the entire defense was a disappointment.

To an extent his results on the field play in part to some recruits, but you wanted to know who on staff would be considered to replace JP as Recruit Coord. if that scenario presented itself. And if you look at recruiting results after JP it is Raymond and Garrison, no one else is even really close.
They may have progressed, but why was the start so rough? Was it just a learning curve deal? He is young after all. I adore Garrison and I heard that JP is a great recruiter, but if so, why do we seem to lack talent?
Look who was missing. If Zo was healthy the struggles are not so prevailent. Secondly, the first timers that were starting on the opposite side of the field. Andrew Green will be a stud next year. Injuries, a;beit little nicks and bruises, probably prevented the whole group as first envisioned to get time together. As far as the safeties, I can't really tell ya there. Between injuries or the dreaded dog house, who knows. The other thing that I think hampered this group was the thought that they wouldn't be able to play physically. That assumption was put to rest about the MSU game and you saw a more physical secondary from that point. Look for that trend to continue next fall.
The coaches examine at least one outside program each year to see how they do things and Bo consults with several NFL guys as well as other defensive coordinators on "the cutting edge" to talk shop about defense. I would guess he takes a fair share of calls from other coaches as well. That doesn't bother me not having an outside guy like Zook or Stoops. Bo is regarded at one of the top 2 minds on defense in college and is also highly regarded in NFL circles. Remember Monte Kiffin recommended him despite not having worked side by side but from reputation only.
