I honestly couldn't tell you back that far.
One thing that comes to mind though...How many LBs have went on to become great NFL players under RRs tutelage? I wouldn't know of any if there were, BUT, given what I know about the 3-3-5 and WVU's reputation for having bad defense under RR, I would doubt there have been any. I would think this is one huge selling point Dantonio could have over UM. Over USC, probably (okay, definitely) not, but I really think they are the third pony in this race anyways.
I'm not saying this means he's coming to EL, because I know that sounds like I'm sold on Perry supposedly coming here, but there are things that work against us, too. I just think this element could work huge if Dantonio employs it the right way.
