I think Haskins was initially shocked and bewildered at the scope of recruiting.
Honestly, he has a point. The 24/7 nature of recruiting by Saban and Smart is just madness.
Why do you have to spend your whole life making courtesy calls at every single high school? The prospects are already being identified. The reason is because everyone else is doing it. I don't think Haskins mind would allow him to adjust to the necessary reality.
I think he tried to go half way or adjust in his own mind by hiring the GM that was from the Cowboys. But that was never going to be anywhere close to enough.

Good point. I'm sympathetic as well to the ridiculous demands of modern recruiting. I understand why a coach would hate it. But going forward, being a pathological recruiter needs to be the top job requirement for an Auburn coach.
