SEC has gotten worse over the past few seasons. Too many Universities trying to hire recruiters first as an attempt to not fall so far behind Saban and Bama. Other conferences (namely the ACC and B1G) have steadily brought in a bunch of very bright coaches. Seeing that line really isn't a surprise to me.

Intersting thought but not sure I agree with it. Look at the SEC schools who have recently made coaching hires:

UF- mcelwain. He damn sure wasn't hired for his recruiting. Saban disciple who did well at CSU
UGA- smart. UGA alum and saban disciple who built elite defenses for almost a decade. Happens to be a good recruiter.
Missouri- someone. Hired from within, doubt recruiting factored in too much
SC- Muschamp. Excellent defenses, experience at AU and Texas, and was head coach at Florida. Also happens to be a good recruiter
LSU- orgeron. Fits louisiana to a T, multiple HC stops, did admirably as an interim. Also a good recruiter

Just because recent coaching hires happen to be good recruiters...I wouldn't say those schools sought those guys out JUST because of their recruiting to try to get talent to compete with bama.
