On Auburn quarterback Cam Newton: “Just when you thought [Tim] Tebow left town, he showed up again in another jersey.”
On recruiting Newton as a high school player: “I remember him. He was a very talented guy, a guy that we did look at. We actually had him pegged as more of a tight end prospect. A lot of it had to do with what we like to do offensively, more of a fit [issue] than any disrespect to his ability to play quarterback. He’s proven to be pretty darn good, though.”
FWIW I get the whole "we run a certain system" thing but yea, not one of his best moments as HC

Hindsight is always 20/20. I'm sure plenty of teams kicked themselves for not giving David Pollack more attention after he became a 3 time all american. He was a high school FB, and came to UGA as a FB, before we moved him to DT for a year then ultimately DE.
Cam WAS a TE 'prospect', but he could play QB too. We had no need for a QB at the time (and again, hindsight...logan gray was the gatorade POY in missouri so it's not like we got some scrub off the street) and as mentioned other schools wanted him at TE as well. It's easy to look back at his career and call everyone a dumbass for not wanting him at QB but at the time, there was nothing far-fetched about it.
