So snagging Chip Kelly had nothing to do with Oregon's improved recruiting rankings?
No. He was already there. Oregon had started to improve, but they had kind of plateaued. Then they started upgrading their facilities and landing better recruits.
I mean, I'm not saying facilities aren't important, UMn hasn't spent loads on a new stadium followed by new facilities just because, either. But great facilities without the right coach leads to shit like Michigan is going through right now, lol.
Except, from what I understand, Michigan's facilities aren't all that great either. Especially, compared to tOSU. Additionally, as I said, great facilities are part of what it takes to attract the right coach.
