If so, how could we get them now if we couldn't then. Especially Stoops, Fickle, Freeze I highly doubt we went after any of these guys initially.

He and Freeze would be mine. Luke sounds good on paper, but then I go back to my critiquing of CBH. Yeah, I see a ton of similarities between Luke and Harsin. I’m not saying he can’t do it but it would seem odd to make the same type of hire again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol that hurt my soul. Muschamp?! NOOOOO Edited February 8, 2022 by DAG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just having conversation with you. edit- It mainly just seems like a lot of opinions on the matter. No since in us all going back and forth when neither side can be 100%confirmed really. My apologies! I'm a bit aggravated with a few members that seem to constantly attack me and ask for proof of the content that I post when most of the time it's only an opinion and therefore needs no proof...

Bro Johnny Mac 1,402 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 If an announcement is not coming until Thursday they are probably negotiating his buyout. So he won’t be fired for cause and he’s not going to quit. So here we are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaphroaigWDE 45 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 30 minutes ago, gctiger said: I think the point is that Harsin places greater weight on personal attributes such as character, adaptability and program fit than on star ratings because he feels that he can coach the players up. I heard this publicly stated on sports radio within the last few days, so it's been discussed outside of this venue. I think it was on the morning show on WJOX, less likely the morning show on WNSP. I regularly listen to both. Him offering 5 star players doesn't disprove this at all like someone else was alluding to. Every school in the country offers a lot of the top kids, but there have been questions about his effort doing stuff other than actual on-field coaching/practice stuff as well as his ability to recruit in the first place. I don't know if I think he falls into the lack of effort or lack of ability camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience, most wealthy people are some of the most absolutely incompetent people I have ever dealt with. They are greedy as hell and lack basic compassion for anyone other than themselves and those most close to them. They would run over you and leave you to bleed to death to get what they want. Americans have, for way too long, equated monetary success with virtue and intelligence. That is a complete crock. yeah, I am not sure how he did his cut/paste - that wasn't my post, but my board name was above his point.... it's all good, but that wasn't my post.

Why would he settle for less again that is based on their not having proof to fire with cause. He might even have a case for defamation of character and sue for more than what is in the contract. It could get even uglier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a really calculated guy and I highly doubt he would take it given timing and the situation, but I think hes a star. Freeze or Grimes please. We also need to do whatever we can to get Dell McGee in the door IMO. Freeze can call plays so make him CO-OC or something if you have to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au302 2,669 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Fickell would be a home run. Too bad he likely won't come to this mess. Plus our fans will moan about him not being an SEC guy. Grimes would rebuild the OL. Don't see why Stoops would jump unless we make him dollars wise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
