If it comes down to managing the whole of the program to keep TU successful, then Bill Blankenship should enjoy keeping the Golden Hurricane at or above the level they&rsquo;ve enjoyed the past few years under Todd Graham and Steve Kragthorpe.</p>College Football does revolve around recruiting- make no mistake about it- and I think Blankenship had some interesting things to say about that aspect of things in the wake of his hiring.&#160; Seeing the process not just from trying to recruit, but from having his own sons recruited can&rsquo;t hurt.&#160; He knows the importance of having the right coaches in the right places to get the right student-athletes to campus.</p>Will the Blankenship era prove fruitful?&#160; Wish I knew for sure at the moment, but after making the transition from ultra-successful high school coach to college assistant, and having a few years to get his feet wet, at least he knows the drill.&#160; And he knows the history at TU, and that can&rsquo;t hurt.</p>
