AU64 10,122 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 It was BP...JJ called for a pre interview conversation: JJ: Good afternoon coach..hi are ya doin? BP: Great Jay, nice to hear from you JJ: Got our committee here and we had a couple questions before we decide about askin ya to come by for a face t face. BP: Sure Jay..whatya got? Jj: When Arky terminated you there was an $18 million buyout yet you never pursued it and we read that you would not contest it. Frankly that's kinda strange. Could you fill us in on why you let the buyout go? BP: uh, uh, good luck on your search guys JJ: OK Bobby .......you have a good day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wde2004 0 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I think depending on who you talk to it was one of two guys: Jeff Fisher or Bob Stoops. I think Stoops expressed some interest in the job but it never got beyond that, probably due to not only him having a cush deal at OU but also because of Jacobs in the AD office. Those are some pretty specific sourceless details. Granted JJ bashing is hip these days but don't the rules say something about sources? Admin? he said "I think", I'm guessing he could count as a source for his own thoughts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwauburn 0 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Chill out guys...Just curious as to who it was being that it was never said. As for who cares, me...and I'm sure some other people would like to know as well. I'm glad we got Gus(Must admit though, I wasn't at first, but the presser sold me) Anyway, if you don't have a legitimate answer to the question, why waste your time answering it? I agree. I'd like to know who they were talking about too. If JJ messed up a better opportunity, then I think it's worth knowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeBags7277 741 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 It wasn't Jeff Fisher. Kill that stupid BS rumour with fire already. HE WAS NOT LEAVING ST. LOUIS. Fisher did in fact get an AU offer. He was the first offered. Yeah right, and Grizzly Adams had a beard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeBags7277 741 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Ron Swanson. He was going to come in and remake the program according to his Pyramid of Greatness. Bob Knight was rumored to be his choice for defensive coordinator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
