One of his prized recruits was so impressed with the colors mixing together that he came first for academics but second for the uniforms. Barnett actually had marshmallows banned from the stadium and had goal posts installed that could not be uprooted. "I felt like I walked into a sleeping sloth of a program," stated Barnett. "It needed awakening. We had to come in and light a fire."</P> <P>Barnett promised to be a relentless recruiter. Quarterback Steve Schnur said, "Its hard to talk to Coach Barnett about Northwestern football without coming away thinking one of two things: Either the guy is completely crazy, or he's pretty dang determined. I chose #2: That's why I'm here."</P> <P>Coach Barnett believes continuity is the key. He got the pay scale up to Big Ten standards for his assistants and the result has been hardly any turnover for his four year coaching reign. He turned Northwestern's academic reputation and location into a positive. </P> <P>Northwestern is a small (enrollment 7,400) private school and academically awesome. The average SAT score over the last four years has been 1,250. I mean, they actually beat Harvard the last two years, making Northwestern the winningest school in history...when it comes to the National Debate Tournament.</P> <P>Northwestern was founded in 1851 and now has students from all fifty states and more than 50 foreign countries. The campus lies on Lake Michigan and is less than 35 minutes by elevated train from Chicago. They have CEO alumni galore, giants like Charlton Heston, in the entertainment industry as alums and their medical, math and science departments are replete with achievements which have had world-wide impact.</P> <P>Coach Barnett remembered those first recruiting days, "When I got here there were only three players who had been offered another Division I Scholarship." It was difficult because many recruits would say, "I just came by as a courtesy." The physical conditioning was going to have to play a big part. Athletic facilities on campus were improved including a 5,000 square foot weight room, a 125 seat auditorium for team gatherings and film viewing, two spacious meeting areas and new offices for all the football coaches.</P> <P>Coach Barnett made an important decision, "We're just going to 'grow a team'". Meaning no quick fixes but a development program to eventually play fourth and fifth year players instead of freshmen.</P> <P>The results were players like fifth year senior center, Rob Johnson, who gained 61 pounds in five years.
