Message: [QUOTE="PhatOrange, post: 491904, member: 229"] I like Tyrone Wheatley as much as anyone but good running coaches are a dime a dozen. And if you didn't see this coming you have your head buried in the sand. (The top 4 coaches to leave from the get go were/are Hackett, Adkins, Henderson and Wheatley.) The only thing I thought might hold Wheat for another year was his kid at FM. Wheatley was a good recruiter but certainly not a great recruiter. This is an opportunity to bring in a running backs coach who can also recruit. Wheat's area was primarily Western NY and the midwest - MI, IL, OH and maybe this was the reason for him not having better results. So go get a coach now who's going to recruit our traditional areas (or within our conference footprint). [/QUOTE]
