Mailbag: Will Dooley and Kiffin Help In Draft Evaluations?

[WoodysGirl]

DAVID VAUGHT - VIRGINIA BEACH, VA
Do you think the addition of coaches with recent college experience, Kiffin and Dooley, could help with the evaluation of players for the draft?

Ed Cahill: I don’t think it can hurt. If anything you’ll have a bit of a leg up within the two conferences Kiffin and Dooley coached in (SEC and PAC-12), but I wouldn’t put too much of an emphasis on it. They weren’t scouts in their respective conferences, so they aren’t going to know the ins and outs of all of its players.

Nick: I think that’s a good point. But I have heard some talks about the coaches having less input in the draft than ever before. Not sure it will actually play out like that, but it sounds like there will be more emphasis on letting the scouts do their thing with only minimal input from coaches. As for those guys, I’m sure they will be familiar with some players, but probably nothing that will give them an advantage.
