Man, I hate this. Jat was my favorite '18 commitment. Plus, along with Cade, the main peer recruiter. This class is about to fall a part. Currie needs to act now, fire Butch and go all out for Chip Kelly. If not Kelly, I want Petrino and UT should throw in Heather Harrington to sweeten the deal. We know Bobby P loves volleyball players
They will screw up and feed us some low tier coach. Will watch and support this team but not sending them any more money yet.
I am 100% confident that they will hire some guy that we have to scratch our head over. Most of us will say, "really?"
Like you said, people will have to stop or reduce their donations to make a statement. They've been taking advantage of the loyalty of the fan base for a long time. They are counting on fans to buck up yet again. Million dollar question is, will they?
I can tell you that I won't. As I told my brother-in-law yesterday, if we go big and hire a proven head coach, I may consider buying season tickets next year. If they hire someone who is a lower tier coach and unproven or a coordinator, I will not go to another game until that coach proves he can win big on the field. I am not going to blindly support this program anymore, hoping the bargain hire is a diamond in the rough.
If hes a lame duck...I disagree. I dont think an interim IMPROVES matters but it does signal that change is definite. Right now theres just a lot of squawking and empty threats about boycotts and admin ineptitude. :boredom:
Could be but I think it looks bad within the coaching community. Could negatively impact the coaching search. I think that was some of the reason LSU ended up with Orgeron.
The reason they ended up with Ogre is they had no Plan B. They swung at Fisher but he was their Gruden. It was Herman or bust, and after the Texas job became available thats what they proceeded to do. There was no research or thought process by Aleeva after that fell through so he went with the interim and hired a hot OC to pair with Aranda. Hes a cautionary tale in AD ineptitude and Curries had to have read the whole series.
