Red Autry and Fran Brown are the same kind of coaching hire. Stud recruiters who have some good indicators that they might be good coaches, but with lots off X and O uncertainty.

In one offseason, Red remade our basketball roster.  Starling and Westry, going by their high school RSCI rankings, were the best recruiting class since 2011. He also finalized a very good 24 class and kept our highest ranked recruit from leaving.  And Red did all that after the fiasco of JB getting fired/retiring after two ugly losing seasons.  It was an amazing group of recruiting wins in a short period of time. It's not Red's fault Starling suddenly can't shoot, and Westry has been injured.  Williams he gets only partial credit for. Now we'll see Red gain experience coaching these kids. Red is a hell of a recruiter, we'll see how he is as a head coach.

Fran Brown right now is doing the same thing on the recruiting path, but much bigger.  I expect he's going to bring in a crazy haul of players amazingly soon.  Then we have to worry about the X and O side of things... But the game of football (like basketball) is a lot easier when your guy isn't smaller and slower than the guy he's competing against.
