Reading some Arkansas forums. Apparently Dowell is an outstanding recruiter. But they (fans) were worried he’d become their OC if Briles left. Others said hes resume was “too good” to keep him as just the TE coach.
I’ll say this…in this modern era, being a 5-star recruiter and 3-star play caller is probably more desirable than the inverse. Players have absolutely no sense of loyalty or commitment anymore. So developing them for 3-5 years in a great scheme is old news. Its plug and play now so we need recruiters, not playbook geniuses.
