You can keep banging your head against the wall but we are not going to pay $9-10 MIL as a starting salary. We can pay up to $8 MIL for the right coach. But again, and the final time, he is not interested in coaching here so all of this in the end is moot.Quote:

The fact we're refusing to even consider coordinators pissses me off. Our best coach came here as a coordinator. This idea we should accept a bad hire simply because we're only looking at head coaches is dumb as hell. Go talk to coordinators and see what their plan is. Selling a high ceiling is better than accepting mediocrity.
Yeah. This is the crux of it Coach. But it's going to be to an even greater extent. Soon we will no longer be an SEC program. We simply will be relegated to another group that makes more sense for us. It's coming.Quote:

I get it, we have spoken to a coordinator though. But depending on how things shake out, we could end up with a sitting P5 coach. Long shot but I think you have to have that conversation for that particular coach and go down that path of interest.Quote:

Then say that in your original post instead of crap like their athletic budget dwarfs oursQuote:
