And so a lot of times, you promote the assistant in an effort to try to maintain that, right.
And the hard part for the next guy, how much can you maintain? Because you can't really do better. Michigan can't do better than what it just did. Because are you going to be Harbaugh? No. That's not an insult. This guy's-- there's nobody else.
There's only a couple coaches that have ever won a College National championship and also coached in Super Bowl or won it. One was Pete Carroll. Most of the college coaches completely suck in the NFL, and always have.
Jim Harbaugh is a uniquely talented guy, and you can't be Jim Harbaugh. You can't even, right? But what Sherrone Moore can do, and this is what I think is interesting for Michigan, is Sherrone Moore can modernize the recruiting process for Michigan. And there is growth there.
