so the guys you brought in it's interesting because like TJ Finley your quarterback he played at LSU in Auburn but he's throwing to to Joey Hobert who made that incredible one-handed catch on the sideline he was at Utah Tech like how did you how did you find all these people because it's obviously a different experience recruiting somebody who's coming from Auburn and somebody who's coming from Utah Tech yeah yeah TJ TJ was one of those deals where I remember where I was at I was uh in New Braunfels um over there and and uh I saw his name go in the portal I I talked to a couple people got his number reached out to him and uh kind of gave gave it my spill and and um he came on an official visit later that week and he had a couple other P5 ovs lined up and after the OV he canceled them and and decided to be a bobcat which was huge um you know because he's a Difference Maker you know I think he's an NFL quarterback you know he's got the size he's got the arm he just needed to be in the right system and if you look look in his career you know the guys that recruited him for for their system kind of left and and so um it was a situation where we we felt really confident in his abilities we just you know had to get him here so he had to graduate we had to go through that whole process and we got him here in the summer and and uh he really you know you could see his leadership and and uh you could tell he'd been around a bunch of really good coaches so that was a pretty uh smooth transition and then then Joey you know Joey actually played for Coach stutzman Our receiver coach pasigan coordinator so that was that connection there and and uh once again he had some big time offers and some P5 offers but that the relationship part of it is really big and and knowing what type of offense he was going to play in that's what we sold him like hey yeah you can go to this school you can go to that school but you know are you going to get the ball or you know are you going to be be uh you know one of the main guys or you're just going to be a guy over there so he believed in this and and uh the relationship went a long way so your coaching career is amazing because you finished playing football in 2016 and started coaching and you've been somewhere different every year you've been you've been at SMU you've been at Arkansas you've been with the Philadelphia Eagles you've been at UCF you were the head coach last year at Incarnate Word in San Antonio and now here I imagine that helped you in terms of the portal recruiting because you probably did have quite a few more relationships and quite a web of people you could call about hey you know this guy did you record this guy oh 100 is exactly right and it's uh and I used all of them believe me when you saw that many guys you're talking to a lot of people and and uh shoot talking to High School coaches in Texas and and uh because that that's really which I that was the our Target where guys that hey they played Texas High School Football they went to this school that school and then were able to get them back but um you know I know guys at Auburn and and uh where else would we signed guys from Utah Tech I didn't really know a new one I guess coach Arkansas yeah Arkansas we knew people with Malik and and that whole deal SMU you know we signed a guy from there Kansas State we know the strength coaches there you know so a lot of times it's all about the relationships because when you take someone Oklahoma we found a bunch of Oklahoma guys I know coaches there no players there so it was one of those deals where uh you know you try to use as many uh you know phone calls and and and as possible um and I did I did figure out this the the gas and QC these most of the time they'll tell you the truth more than the full-time guys because you know sometimes they're trying to you know just get rid of them or basically the QC they all want jobs so they'll tell you the truth well and and you're so much closer to being a QC yeah than most other head coaches I mean that was only a few years ago for you so I don't when you've been a head coach for 20 years they might not be so willing to to tell you the truth it might be afraid at that point yeah that's true that's a good point thank you so much for watching just a reminder subscribe to this channel right here so you never miss an episode of Andy Staples on three and oh by the way watch all the other great videos on the on 3 Sports YouTube channel
