the right coach from coming. We may have to offer a 5 year contract instead of 3 and a higher salary but penalties won’t be the drawback here. Penalties can also be a buffer with no pressure for a year or two for that coach to set things up without the crazies calling for his job. We have money, we have a good roster (not great, but we do have a good roster) and we seem to FINALLY have the leadership in place to be successful. I think some coaches are all over the UT job.
Only way that happens is if you hire Steele for a few years. NCAA is slowwww. Good news is by the time they do hand out punishment, players will be getting paid legally so that may ease the punishment.I do think it's important that we have an AD in place before a coaching hire is made. Any coach worth their salt will want to know who they are working with/for before they take the job.
I also think it would be nice if we know what our sanctions are prior to hiring a coach. That will make the position more attractive (relatively speaking). That way the incoming coach doesn't feel blindsided by what he'll be up against after accepting the job. I'm pretty sure USC downplayed their sanctions to Kiffin before he accepted the job and they turned out more severe than he excpected.
I just realized our 3 wins from this year could be vacated.Only way that happens is if you hire Steele for a few years. NCAA is slowwww. Good news is by the time they do hand out punishment, players will be getting paid legally so that may ease the punishment.
Ole Miss investigation took SIX years. That included their appeal (took almost two years)
No idea on the number UT is facing, OM had 15 violations, got 2 year bowl ban, lost 11 scholarships, on probation for a few years, vacated 33 wins, and lots of $.
If the NCAA came in and determined that Fulmer cheated in 98 and "vacated" our natty, would you honestly care? I wouldn't. It doesn't take away the great memories I have of that season. It doesn't erase the highlights we have on film. I'll bet it wouldn't even take the trophy out of the case. It's a meaningless, toothless gesture.Would probably be all 15, supposedly violations started when Pruitt started. No one cares about vacated wins tho. Vacated championships are a different story.
I'd guess they are valid, but nothing that any other football program doesn't do.This won’t be popular, but has to be said.
“Penalties will not deter....” Seriously???
If there is any validity to the violations, particularly the cash-to-recruits, we are sunk for the foreseeable future.
Sanctions WILL deter the Best coaches...the right coach from coming. We may have to offer a 5 year contract instead of 3 and a higher salary but penalties won’t be the drawback here.
