And I believe Kevin Young is 100% worth the risk. And I think Gary Crowton was too.

Crowton spent two years in the NFL, so not the same

Sorry, Gary was not considered a top NFL guy. Also, he was the HC at a minor g5

None of it will matter unless we put a large NIL war chest behind him.

Big NIL will attract the raw talent out there but maybe you don't want that.
