I always found it curious that Jim Schaaf always seemed to find fantastic defensive talent, from Mike Bell and Art Still to Barbaro, Green, Lloyd Burress, an undrafted Deron Cherry and so on, but had extreme difficulty finding a good to great running back (outside of JD), a QB and an even average head coach.
