Hiring several college coaches could give us an draft advantage!

When Pete Carroll first got hired with the Seahawks he was the former HC of USC. Several pointed at the time, him being around the college game gave the Seahawks a distinct advantage cause of him knowing the players inside his conference and around the country. He was the one who found Richard Sherman, a former Stanford WR that Carroll thought could play corner. Such players like Russell Wilson, Kam Chancellor, Bobby Wagner were all taken outside the 1st rd. His early drafts built a powerhouse, but as time wore on, their draft success disappeared, perhaps him being away from the game played a part.

Jimmy Johnson had that same advantage coming out of the University of Miami. He recruited players that he drafted.

Hopefully this runs true with shotty

That's funny I was thinking that the other day. Another recent example is Jim Harbaugh with the Chargers.
