    You do realize that college football coaches are the teams’ primary recruiters, right?

    Not really. They play a part, but from my experience, and what I've seen not , but half of it. If that was true tell me why LSU, Texas A&M, Alabama, and Ohio State still recruit in the top 10 almost every year no matter who is the HC.

    Unless You can actually change the recruiting, changing HCs will not matter much, unless You are only looking to play in some meaningless bowl game. It's pretty simple. Name Me one team that has won a National Championship without a top 10 recruiting. Hell it's hard enough for the teams that recruit in the top 10 almost every year. People have unreasonable expectations for some of these schools. I think it's dumb to fire a coach middle of the year for a team that won't go anywhere. Why pay him to watch TV, and look for another job??
    I've yet to see a team fire their HC in the middle of the season and then win a Championship. By all means fire him, but wait till the season is over.

    You do know those stories of college coaches meeting with the players, and their families at their homes is for only certain players , this doesn't go for all 105 players. Many don't even meet the coach until later.
