Stanford hides his weakness because Stanford's recruiting pool is so limited - there aren't so many options for players at various positions. If you aren't a great evaluator of talent but think you are, it's no wonder you have run-ins with an NFL GM and ownership. When he showed up at Michigan, as an Ohio State fan (my other alma mater and home state team), I felt no fear precisely because I expected he would recruit the wrong players.
He's probably good for an NFL team that has underachieved its talent but don't expect him to be a long term solution. His personality quickly wears down the players and the organization. It turns out that Stanford may have been the best fit for him all along.
Looks like Harbaugh may have a rough signing day. They've already lost two highly ranked recruits and look like they're about to lose a third.
