when Steve Spurrier announced the intentions to step down as HC of S. Carolina he noted how difficult it is for an aging coach to recruit . He even went so far as to say that age 65 is about where the recruiting declines.
Recruiting is a young man's game
We've seen numerous examples of long time coaches staying on way too long, letting recruiting slide and eventually the entire program goes into decline.
Of course there are isolated examples of coaches that are still good recruiters even at advanced ages.
Would like to hear from posters their thoughts on this issue
