Lou Holtz famously told Bobby Bowden that Randy Moss was, at heart, "a really good person" when it became apparent Moss couldn't enroll at Notre Dame. He also told Bowden that he was impressed with the respect that Moss paid his mother.
These types of things used to happen among coaches all the time because they placed the welfare of players above everything else. Given the hyper-competitive nature of college athletics compared with the warped financial incentives, I'm not so sure these types of exchanges would happen today.

Maybe Smart calling either of the GSUs, Valdosta, or the like, but I don't see a coach say at Florida, calling Kentucky and referring a player.

Mark Richt once called up Sylvester Croom and asked him to consider taking Jamar Chaney after an SAT testing score issue became a sticking point at Georgia.
Richt also picked up the phone and lobbied the Arkansas staff to take Michael Grant in 2004 because he couldn't get admitted to UGA as a result of being expelled from South Gwinnett HS in his sophomore year.

So he has that going for him.

Pittman is a good man. He was a hell of an oline coach. He left much to be desired over his HC years, but dont hate him for it. Sam is Sam. What you see is what you get.
