I wanted Kelly more for his commitment to sports science / nutrition program than anything else. I think that data driven decision making on players is just what our injury plagued program needs. I was hopeful that Kelly was actually demanding the money to run such a program, but I guess that will happen at UCLA now. Anyone know if any of our current candidates have developed similar programs?
Frost has always been my #1 guy. I'm on record with that even before this thread. Having said that I'm not going to turn around now and say this is OK. I was ready to jump on the Kelly train and jump hard. This would have been an amazing hire. Certainly the one with the most splash and perhaps the most positive impact on recruits. If we didn't get him just because he changed his mind that's OK. If we didn't get him because we failed to understand what needed to be done then that's not OK.
I’m upset about Chip simply because I don’t think we get Frost. Frost is/was my first choice. If we can get him over UN, I’ll be happier. Frost has more upside then Chip long term.
That’s simply retarded. Totally. I believe they had a line on real information on a negotiation that went south. You all act like this was a puzzle of a fixed picture that was just waiting on the pieces be put together. This was obvoiusly a negotiation that changed throughout the week. Thanks tilly and btg for providi us information that , when combined with information that came out after and as your info was presented, gave us a glimpse and a perspective into what was happening behind the scenes. In contrast to what percy4prez call for, I would like you all an insider info to continue to post on this board that gave us a glimpse behind the scenes that we would otherwise not have. P4p, is know your sad and disappointed as we all are, dont eat our own, that shits ugly. Also, look at the timing of tillys posts. He was on the board posting 100% of the time the past two weeks as this developed feeding our insane neurosis with this process. Oh, and this is a free board. Go donate 100k to the university and become a bullgator if you have to have the authority to call for heads to roll if you aren’t presented with the information you want
I agree and am also on that record but I don’t think we get Frost. Don’t be upset when we end up with Mullen. Just be happy.
Yes I think Leach would want support. Leach has his own shortcomings coming from lesser schools and having to deal with that situation. I think he'd be a kid in a candy store here, and would gloss over problems that might give other coaches pause
Don't think the coeds on campus are young enough for R I disagree. It might matter initially, but the staff he wants...if they are any good...are going to be turned over year after year. Your coordinators will be hot commodities for HC jobs if they are any good, so you can't be held hostage by the staff. Pay them enough, and they will come.
If THIS was the issue, then I'm a bit grumpy at Stitch. Hire a leader and let him lead. Don't micromanage.
Quite the contrary, you guys would love for me to be upset. I'm sitting on my couch watching our boys, hoping we get this W! Why be upset? Life is well.
