If a guy is getting NFL looks now, and comes here, that will get a recruits attention. I think recruits want coaches with NFL connections and at least some NFL background. That is their end goal, to end up in the league, so obviously having coaches who know what it takes would be beneficial. I know Marrone didn't bring in 4 and 5 star guys, but Cuse almost never has, and I think he was able to bring in a high percentage of the 2 and 3 star guys he targeted. Even though our classes weren't ranked high, the talent is there regardless and it was being coached up at the same time. Marrone was a success here, so why not follow that blueprint again. 
 
The recruiting connections are important, so if we take an NFL guy, hopefully they've had a good amount of college experience as well. If not, then hopefully they're a big enough name where it doesn't matter (Wannstedt at Pitt), and/or they can assemble a top notch college recruiting staff. And no I don't want Wannstedt.
