Al Washington (Potential DC)

You may be right because



Jimmy Hyams hasn't been super accurate lately. It's possible we simply spoke to him about a position coach spot instead of DC.

Baker turning down a DC job to stay on at as a position coach at a school that had one of the worst defenses in the SEC in 2020, doesn't seem super smart. That whole staff could get axed next year. At least he'd likely have at least 2 years at TN with a much higher salary. I think it's more likely we were interested in him as a position coach and he said no.
 
Or maybe DW told him to stay quiet and "think about it" and not tell Ohio State anything until later today so there are NO LEAKS. This does not seem likely but with the whole top secret CIA mission that UT is now on I could see it. Doing so would be a little dirty to me but business is business. Who knows at this point. My money is on we will announce an offensive staff tonight and still have the DC decision up in the air.
 
There aren't even any UT / Boosters aircraft flying in regards to anything UT. At least take N865UT out for a spin to Ohio or something. I'd love to post that track pic!

Maybe we are going have one coaching staff serving as offensive and defensive. Or maybe they feel that Steele can run the entire defense and therefore do not need to introduce him, seeing he has been here. Joking obviously.
 
Latest from Columbus. As of this afternoon, Washington is having his agent review Tennessee's multi-million dollar 3-year contract offer. Once that review is over he'll decide on whether to make a trip to Knoxville to tour the campus and facilities.
Screw that, review the contract and then decide. No need to tour the campus or facilities. It has been proven many times over that our facilities and campus is second to none. Time to man up and stop wasting everyone’s time and effort’s. This guy is beginning to look more and more like a drama queen.

Uh, he works at Ohio State. Their facilities are none too shabby also.

Perhaps you'd like someone who would just jump at the job instead of see if it's right for him?

Haha, irony.

Reading is very much fundamental. No where did I say antYthing about OSU facilities, been there multiple times. Looking at the facilities will not tell him if the job is right. By tour I g, you learn nothing about team, coaches, only a quick snap shot. Let’s not pretend that our facilities are not well known for being amongst the best.
 
Haha, irony.
Your point? I am in no way being dramatic, no way does it take this long to decide. Trust me, I had to make more deadly decisions during my multiple combat missions and at a much faster pace. Either you want the raise and job or you don’t, stop holding the two schools hostage.

Let's not pretend that uprooting your family and career isn't something that requires a lot of thought.

That the man wants to come and put feet on the ground, meet and greet a few people, and see the place where he'll move his family ISN'T a drama move. It's called "due diligence" for both his career and his family.

Or he is taking time to evaluate the biggest decision of his professional career. If he takes this job and it fails (especially due to factors beyond his control) he may never get the chance to be a coordinator again. The way our administration handled the Pruitt situation, coaches are wary of coming here. They question the university's loyalty to the coaches.

"More deadly decisions".

Sorry, no drama at all. I apologise.

As we speak he is contacting his secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot!

The guy has pretty much bounced from job to job every 2 to 3 years, so he’s pretty used to it. At this point he’s trying to find a reason to come or he just jerking us around.

The question I have is why his agent wasn’t reviewing the contract the past few days. Agents like that usually have teams that can review it all within half a day or so.

He has every right to take his time, we have every right to move on if its taking him too long. This could be a life changing decision, good or bad. Can't blame him for thinking it through and having conversations with people he trusts.

I think there's two possibilities, neither involve his agent who has likely said it's up to his gut:

he wants to see if OSU will bump him to co-DC there. As of now, if they've offered that..... it's not reported. I BELIEVE he'd stay if they did. He came to OSU from Michigan with Mattison, who just retired as co-DC and wasn't replaced. I BELIEVE that's the job he wants there
OR
UT isn't a sure thing by any means. He'll be a first time DC in a very, very bad situation, but the money and challenge are high reward, high risk. It's a gut check moment for him to risk it and it's a tough decision and he's been given the time to make it and he's taking the time. I don't blame him.

I feel the easier route would be to stay in Columbus but there's a competitive fire in his gut that might bring him to Knoxville. If we get him, we'll get him 100% and that's a good thing.
