Could we pay Monken enough money to make it an offer he can't refuse?

While I agree with the importance of having your coaches all pulling in the same direction, It shouldn't take 40+ days to find someone to fill that need. 42 days and counting and we don't appear to be any closer to finding a coach who wants to be on the same page as Pruitt still. It's damn embarrassing.

Embarrassing for you, no one outside of our fanbase cares how long it's taking us to hire an OC.

surprised shamburger hasn't left yet. would assume he might be one asked to?

anyone care to speculate who else might get the boot?

 

[IhateGA]

Yeah it was the lead story on Fox News, CNN and MSNBC yesterday. Everyone is making fun of us!

We will see how funny you find it when Will Friend is made OC.

Someone should pull the Internet off of Butch Jones. This beat down is relentless

he'd be the perfect fit.

I think Sham, Crosby, Reid, Page, Bailey, and some other will all be outta here by summer

VQ keeps hinting at this. They keep making those comments that the longer this goes the more likely it is that Pruitt turns and hires someone from within.

not sure he counts against the 85, but if we can make it work, so be it!

Pretty sure he has used up all of his eligibility and wont be on scholarship.

I don't think he would take a OC job on the college level.

People here will celebrate it like we made some great hire.

Friend doesn't want it. so if it does wind up being him, something changed. could see osovet or lilly.

still think we're going to hire from outside. not gonna worry until it's time to worry.

and i'll admit, we're approaching that time faster than i'd care to. lol.

I would be completely ok with Osovet

I think it was VQ that mentioned Shamburger is a guy this staff would like to hold on to. They think he can be coached into contributing.

I'll be worried if it isn't made by the end of the dead period. That will be the first time that I'll legitimately be concerned. There is absolutely 0 reason why it shouldn't be done before then. Also, by all reports Pruitt wants to have it over by the end of the dead period. So if it isn't done by then, I'll be concerned. That's Friday.

well, i'im for that. i've always thought that kid was talented. and he should/could be a really good one, if he'd get his head on straight. thought, though, for sure with the antics during the Vandy game he'd be on the way out the door.

I saw flashes of great play his freshman year

at what point will you worry? I started worrying about 3 weeks ago.

yep, that's what i was getting at too. this is the make or break week for me. and really, the convention is over tomorrow. so depending on how things go, it's possible to see stuff happening later today, tomorrow or thursday.

if friday comes and goes and nothing....yeah, i'm gonna be a little worried.

Yeah, that comment from VQ came after the Vandy game where people were assuming Sham would be leaving after his poorly timed dance routine. Mods were like “actually, he’s one of the few they wanna keep”
