My point was. He's had great talent to work with
And who evaluated that talent?
That Walter Brady kid is from Alabama and was seemingly not on the radar of either of the two instate power programs, or any other SEC power in the area. He was ranked like 60th-70th in the state. Its easy to say in hindsight that he was probably a 4-5 star talent all along, but at some point you have to look at Kuligowski and say that he's either got an incredible eye for talent which is why he seemingly knows how to spot these kids that no one else bothers to see, or he's really really good at developing them.
As an outside observer, I'd say that he's got both qualities. The number of small-time recruits that have gone on to become star-caliber players under Kuligowski can not possibly be a coincidence. Even bottom-tier athletes like Michael Sam performed at an above-average level under him.

Id say Micheal Sam was probably the best example of Kul's teaching. He's a limited athlete and was a great college player based on technique and motor.
I'm not diminishing Kul at all. I've said repeatedly he is a great coach. Probably the best DL coach in the nation.
My point was he wasn't some water into wine messiah. Football is (mostly) about players and he had the good fortune to coach some great ones. If he didn't have those guys to coach he wouldn't be who he is. It's a two way street. Of course he gets credit for identifying and developing, but he wasn't lead recruiter on a lot of those guys. Again though, to his credit, he did an excellent job developing them.
