I'd say he is learning how to become a great "CEO/Manager." Making big hires in the coordinator departments after his first few years sticking with the wrong people in charge. The hires of Morris and now Venables show that he is learning to put people that can handle each side of the ball without him.
As far as the recruiting, you are right, he is one heck of a recruiter. Along with Jeff Scott (and Billy Naiper who went to Alabama and now at Colorado St) Clemson have been recruiting incredibly well since the Tommy Bowden / CJ Spiller days. Now that they are actually winning some ACC Division and Conference Championships, hopefully things get even brighter.
