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.

Recruiting is area-distributed. Just because he's not the "lead recruiter" on every player under him, doesn't mean that he's not actually identifying who he wants to target. Charles Harris was "recruited" by your Quarterbacks coach...I mean, are you trying to tell me that your QB coach is responsible for identifying a non-rated DE recruit? No, Charles Harris was "recruited" by your QB coach because he is from Missouri, and if you look at Andy Hill's recruiting profile you'd notice that virtually all the kids he signs are in-state: he is from Missouri himself and is obviously tasked with recruiting the local area.
