Pat talking about thugs being recruited to play football at the U was simply dumb to the bone.
Who what and why would a coach recruit a thug?
Are you serious? There a plenty of coaches in America that would recruit a "borderline" character player if it translated into more wins. Especially if it is at a program that is looking to climb the competitive "ladder" quickly. I don't believe UM necessarily did it but there are many coaches out there that would. Just ask
Tark(UNLV) And I am a Tark fan!
U of Miami FB coaches in 80's & 90's
Bob Huggins(Cincinnati)
Just to name a few.
