Alright VolDaddy, let me simplify this thing called the recruiting process for you. Every school has to sell its advantages to the recruit. Let's say Bray is down to SDSU and Tenn. Tenn is going to sell the fact that it has the better staff, better facilities, plays in the the better conference. SDSU is going to sell the proximity to home, the Cali lifestyle and that Bray's QB coach at SDSU is better than Tenn's QB coach. A QB coach that has played at a high level in the NFL is a better selling point than a QB coach that only played D IAA ball. If you don't believe this, try reversing the situation- If Tenn had a QB coach with 10 years NFL experience and SDSU had the QB coach that had only played D IAA ball, would you be on here saying that SDSU had the advantage in selling that coach to the recruit? Hell no.
As for Cutcliffe, if Duke were to recruit Bray, Cutcliffe has several great selling points- he's coached two number 1 picks in the draft, two Super Bowl winning QBs, and coached several overall QBs to the NFL. Cutcliffe even though he never played college or pro football has earned his rep as a high quality QB coach, has Reaves done that? Again, hell no.
We have a great overall staff, but our weakest link so to speak is at QB coach. Until Tenn proves it can put QBs into the NFL a lot of teams we recruit against will have an advantage. This is especially true with West Coast QB recruits because of all the quality QB coaches on that coast- Tedford at Cal, Chow at UCLA, Sarkisian at UW, Kelly at Oregon, even Bates at USC is a better sell because he has coached QBs in the NFL for the last four years.
