someone can still get what you mean and are trying to say....but they don't have to buy into it.

Coaching change and impact on recruits.
Coaching change and impact on recruits.
To state emphatically that we will likely lose the majority of our recruits if Charlie leaves is a great disservice to our recruits. Notre Dame recruits stand out academically and will use that intelligence to assess their future with a new coach before taking any drastic action. Besides, I'm not convinced that there are many recruits and current players that would like to see a change in coaching. Many, many fans question Charlie's play calling.......don't you think guys who play this game every day likewise question his play calling. Game changes to deflect our opponents strength is totally lacking and you know, they must also see that. I beleive at least 95% of our recruits will stick with the Irish.

95%! dream on
yes, and if people would do some research, they would see that high profile coaching hires at high profile programs often keep many of the highest touted incoming recruits. the promise of actually winning alot of games is often cited as a big reason why.
kids come to ND for reasons other than the coach as there are things unique to ND (their own tv network agreement, academics, etc...) that other programs cannot offer. that is not to say the coach has zero bearing, but it is not like a new coach will have no pull with them. the new coach may well be able to target kids who feel going to ND has great appeal but have no interest in playing for an unsuccessful head coach in weis.
discussing the loss of recruits is more about scare tactics than reality.
a new coach may lose a few guys, but not many, and more importantly he will add some guys that weis would not have ever gotten.
the real upside will be having a real head coach who understands the comprehensive nature of being a head coach. the advantage of that will far outweigh the few guys he loses (which, again, based on history at other high profile schools, wont be a significant factor).
the reason everyone thinks that a new coach will be the beginning of a drawn out "rebuilding" is because the ND administration has not targeted the right coaches in the past so ND fans are brainwashed into thinking new coach= starting over. not so at many other schools who dumped coaches and made the right hire.

That would be a 9 game sampling - also, the Broncos have come back to reality the last few weeks. Im sure he WILL eventually be proven to suck beyond belief because hes a smug little know it all but as of now we cant say.

yeah 95 is a high percentage 75-80% would be great but it also depends on the hire. A great hire and we could still finish strong

95% isn't even possible at this moment. It's either 100% or less than 95% until we get to 20 recruits.
