Mizzou has had eight first round draft picks since 2009 and of those eight, six of them were defensive lineman coached up by coach Kul. Our entire football program was selling that Missouri was D-lineU or "D-lineZou" as we called it, based off the success that coach Kul had with his players getting drafted high. Gary Pinkel wouldn't have had the success he had here if it wasn't for coach Kul and the defensive lineman he fielded for us. He also turned Miami's D-line around pretty quick. He really is one of, if not the best D-line coaches in the country. Here's a look at the players he's drafted that played for Mizzou, which includes pro bowlers, current starters on NFL rosters, and a Super Bowl champion in Shane Ray. 2017 1st round Charles Harris to Dolphins DE 2015 1st round Shane Ray to Broncos DE 2015 2nd round Marcus Golden to Cardinals OLB 2014 2nd round Kony Ealy to Panthers DE 2013 1st round Sheldon Richardson to Jets DT 2011 1st round Aldon Smith to 49ers DE 2010 1st round Sean Weatherspoon to Falcons LB 2009 1st round Ziggy Hood to Steelers DT

This is exactly why I believe DL recruiting won't suffer under this guy. If anything this guy can find underrated future studs and/or coach the hell out of the guys he gets. Now, some of his DL at Mizzou that went on to the NFL were highly regarded coming out of high school.
