If they can do to the Buckeyes the same thing that happened to some recruiting narratives where assistant coaches were vilified ND will be fine. Al Golden: The coachi that wasn't recruiting hard enough and that one particular platform suggested had been “forced” on Marcus Freeman by Jack Swarbrick. Chris O'leary: Curse him for helping to produce All-Americans, Shuler to follow, and making Ivan Taylor want to play for him. Al Washington: Ruined a great DL recruiting class setup by Mike Elston.
I think this is a pretty concrete harbinger...
