May be a dumb question, but what does a DOBO do?

Didn't they just choose one of these glorified gophers as the new 3rd assistant who's supposed to be an upgrade over Jordan as a recruiter?

If that's all you saw on Abe's resume, then yup, I guess we did. As for an "upgrade" over Lucious, are you serious? Who did he bring into this program the last 3 years? BTW, you do realize Jimmy hired LJ the same way right? He was the DOBO for one year at James Madison, with no other college experience besides that before he got the job at Siena.

I am aware of Jordan's background. It underscores my point. But then again, how are you supposed to get the experience needed to become a great recruiting assistant unless people give DOBOs a chance right? So let's see what this dude can do with the opportunity.

So let's see what this dude can do with the opportunity. Bottom line is Abe has a much better resume at this point of their careers. I like the hire. I'm a big fan of McKillop and Davidson. They do things right. Getting the DOBO from the National Champs is a nice addition too. I think the staff is the best it's been in 4 years now.

Let's hope your optimism is reflected on the recruiting trail.
