Yep. That's another good one. And he would've stayed for a while if I had to guess. I don't think he jumps to LSU when Nick leaves. It would've taken him a year to build at least. But the recruiters we would've had on staff would've been stupid because I imagine Kirby comes with Will. We would've had:Quote:

There was some interest from both sides and it got serious for a second but it got blown out in the open and we kind of lost negotiating power.Quote:
