Another Reason to love Lacewell

[BAT]

In 1992, Jones hired close friend and former Oklahoma defensive coordinator Larry Lacewell as director of college scouting. Soon after starting the job, Lacewell took a call from a 49ers official who wanted to know whether the Cowboys were interested in a talented but troubled defensive end named Charles Haley.

"I'd honestly never heard of the guy," said Lacewell. "I think the note sat on my desk for three or four days before I finally walked it down to Jerry's office. When I told him what it was, he nearly dove over the desk."

Repost or not, that's pure gold.

It might explain all the good players passed on during his tenure. "Eh, never heard of that guy. How good can he be?"

That explains a lot of our busted drafts in the mid to late '90s.
