When you still could have Kiffin or Chadwell then Elliott is a rung down IMO. I mean I would rather have Tom Herman or Lance Leipold over Elliott. And there's some reports we interviewed Jeff Monken from Army this morning. I'd even be more ok with him. He wouldn't run the triple option here.

I can't believe they actually offered Sonny Dykes. Incredible.

Somebody needs to show me that they actually did offer him.

This place builds rumors on top of rumors.

"This guy turned us down" but wait, show me the proof he was ever offered to begin with! Lunacy!

Re: Dykes offer

Per Basilio. We'll just have to wait and see what comes out after the hire is made. Apparently, we offered Dykes and he was spooked by the potential fan reaction. Which is hilarious and sad.

I don’t think that’s true for most people.

People with a hole that big in them are never able to fill it with anything; wealth, honeys, booze, cars, etc. It doesn’t stop them from trying though. Not sure that’s the guy we’re looking for at the end of the day. Of course, even good folks can be swayed with the right number in the right circumstance.

I don't know, I think we all adjust to our circumstances, some a little more magnanimously than others, but all roughly the same.

I mean, I do think you're right, that there are folks who have enslaved themselves to belongings. But most folks are like you and me. Not obsessed by their possessions, but not immune to the idea of nice things, either.

I grew up pretty close to impoverished, not welfare poor, but maybe just a step or two above it. Because my folks worked their butts off, we were better off by the time I left for college; maybe lower middle class...working class, anyway. Today, after a successful career, I'm probably what we call upper middle class. And through all those levels of living, I've always had things I would like but couldn't quite afford. When I was a kid, it was maybe real milk instead of that freeze-dried stuff. Today, it's keeping enough of a reserve on hand to pay for a couple of weddings when and if my daughters strike the fancy. If I were rich, it might be a yacht or a jet.

We're human. We have goals. Those goals seem to pretty much never run out. Whether we're selfish, or tithing, or donating a third of each paycheck to charity. We still have projects and goals. Right?

Anyway, sorry, got off topic. I think the fella making $5.5M a year today would certainly be enticed by the possibility of $8M a year instead. The only question is whether the extra pain would be worth the extra gain.

Don't you think?
