I like the chart, but disagree with the Downward spiral Leach had in recruiting. If you were to take that chart back another eight years and look at from the end of the Spike Dykes era(who I greatly respect), the recruiting had vastly improved. If Leach would have stayed the recruiting would have continued to improve. One issue that hurt Leach with recruiting the last couple of years was lack of institutional support, e.g. Gerald Myers. Tuberville has done well with recruiting, now win.
I almost agree with you. The only thing I disagree, Leaches recruiting was starting to dip mainly because of all the contract negotiations. Twice during his tenure his contract negotiations spanned across NSD. That was also within the last 5 years.
He wasn't dipping much but look at the recruiting avg stars. The quality wasn't getting there. But yes, he was miles ahead of Spike.
