This is a complete lie. Coaches at major schools usually deal with an AD once a month or so. Coaches deal with the AD's when they are supposed to be at fundraisers or they are talking about schedules and budgets. Other than that- they dont deal with AD's often.
They dont have any special "loyalties" to their AD or shit like that. They are worried about their programs and what happens to keep them as successful as possible. A new AD is not going to change his program one iota because he has been so successful he is going to get what he wants- and a new AD isnt going to change that. The new AD isnt going to **** with his program, his budget, or his pay.
And nobody in their right mind looks at our roster- especially vs his at Louisville- and thinks they are going to immediately win at State. These coaches talk to college scouts every other day and they know whose rosters have draftable talent vs those who dont. You can bet he has talked to multiple pro scouts- like one we have on our board here- and realizes State's roster lacks talent.
