Matt Dudek is the AU Director of On-Campus Football Recruiting and worked for Todd Graham briefly at Pitt, according to Greg Hansen in the Star today...
In 2010, he was working for Dave Wannstedt at Pitt and, after Dave was fired, Todd Graham asked Matt to stay on at Pitt and work for him, which he did...
However, Graham fired him after the spring and summer of 2011, which led Dudek (The Good Dude) to be hired by Rich Rod, sight unseen by both individuals...
Together, RR and The Good Dude, have created the Our Kind of Guys approach to recruiting and it seems to be working according to Hansen, since the Cats are ranked and the Devils are not, as pointed out by The Good Dude in a recent Tweet to recruits...
The article also points out that the Devils have not given up on four star OL Michael Eletise from Hawaii, who committed to the Cats earlier this summer...Chris Thomsen is still after Eletise and was recently seen at the family's church in Honolulu...
I wonder why Graham fired The Good Dude..??
Sounds like he needed a transitional bridge to Pitt recruits and once the bridge was established and Todd had his infrastructure in place, he brought in "his kind of guy" to run things from then on but I don't pretend to know...
However, these type of things just add more spice to the rivalry...coaching, like most other professions, is a cut throat business...
Championships or Bust...Go Devils!!!
