If he does leave, JA needs to find someone from the Pats front office to
take over college scouting.

Gabriel is obviously not so good at spotting offensive talent.  Hester's a
special special teamer, no doubt, but it remains to be seen if he can be a
consistent force on offense.  Otherwise, his is a rather one-sided portfolio
of impact and solid role players only on the defensive side of the ball.

In other words, if they hire Gabriel, they're hiring an Angelo clone.  Buyer
be ware!
