Grant has a history of top recruiting. Archie was a better X and O coach.
Love the NBA angle to recruits.

So, very comparable in terms of achieved success.
And as long as a leader surrounds himself/herself with people who accentuate their strengths and offset their weaknesses, that leader will have a well-rounded staff. So, Anthony will need a good X-and-O guy on the bench.
You know, if Purnell wouldn't consider it a step down, he could be the X-and-O guy. Was always impressed with how his teams executed on offense. But he probably wouldn't consider it. Plus, he's getting to the point in his career where he probably wants to spend less time on the road, not more. Still, someone with those skills would be a boon to AG's staff.
