 Kentucky 's football program was overshadowed by its successful basketball program during Collier 's tenure . Collier was also criticized for his poor recruiting skills , a crucial factor for college coaches . Many fans wrote the university to complain about him and his staff . Still , several future star coaches served as assistants under Collier at Kentucky , including Don Shula , Chuck Knox , Howard Schnellenberger and Bill Arnsparger . Standout players under Collier included All @-@ Americans Lou Michaels and Schnellenberger .
