Timeline and Offer

[Really Clark?]

I think the deal was fairly close. I mean it was reported by both their guys and ours and some others that he had an offer from us on the table and was leaning towards taking it.

I get it but we don't get real time reporting.

It seems the longer things drag out, the less likely they come out the way we want them to... sigh.

And yet, no deal. If we don't have em by end of business day today, I say the chances are the same as us winning a natty next season in football

Man, I'm tired of being Mississippi State. We seem to always muck it up.

And the sad part is we always get our hopes up... schlossnagle, Napier, and now

To be fair, both of those first two turned out for the best.

[Dawgface]

I'm guessing Arky will bump up his salary and stay put. But I know nothing about nothing.

[StarkVegasSteve]

To be fair, both of those first two turned out for the best.

The jury is still out on Schloss/Lemonis debate. We might have dodged a bullet with Napier.

[Tough Dawg]

I understand your point and don't necessarily disagree. But if I'm CZA I think I'd measure which position is more impactful and then prioritize from there. I trust CZA.

...OM investigation, Kiffin to Auburn...

Maybe. aTm was really good under schloss last year in his first season. I don't think Napier's story is told just yet.

Lemonis winning a natty certainly was an ace. Let's see how he bounces back this season

AR may be having a say in this. And Never underestimate the power of an agent to try to screw both sides in the process.

I've often found that usually is the case in these situations when things don't work out.

Well, some supposedly in the know say that Bump being hired already has been a negative factor in KB wanting to take our offer, and then some say it sure can't hurt with Bump being the WR coach in hiring KB.

[TrapGame]

Going off what Robbie Faulk posted on Twitter around 11 or so it looks like we are waiting for Briles to say yes or no.

Also, rumored is KJ's NIL for 2023 is $800k.

[Anonymous]

Just connecting dots, but we?ve had 2 QB?s hit the portal in the last 24 hours. They know who the OC is.

Sexton playing Lane 2.0 on Hogs and u$.

I don’t see how 1 hire on the offensive side of the ball totally turns Briles away. Is there more on the offensive side that are staying and Briles doesn’t have much input?

Also rumored if KB comes is he may want to bring his RB coach.

I never bought into Bryles even being a remote possibility. Ark can surely match and exceed our best offer, plus there is talk he is the "coach in waiting" there.

I think his interest was more his agent playing up us to get him a raise in his current job.
