Coaches switch staffs all the time in college. The manner that they conduct themselves during that transition period is what defines them as "honorable" (as honor goes in recruiting) or "snake".
Orgeron capitalizing on a decimated staff (No HC/DC/RC) and attempting to contact kids who were already enrolled is entirely different than Steele contacting Clemson's yet-to-be-signed recruits after he's been announced as UT's DC and replaced.
