He’s not going to MSU. But leaking that coaches from other schools are “interviewing” is sloppy as fuck. The Board of Trustees is treating this like a normal hiring process rather than doing the back channel convos with agents that usually happen and I think it’s going to blow up in their faces and we won’t get Fickell or Tucker.
I just realized we have to hire a coach now. This is gonna be awesome. I don’t blame the dude for the money grab, but he did us about as dirty as possible.
If this doesn't wake the majority of Pac 12 school presidents up to how badly Larry Scott needs to go, I'm not sure what else will...
Well, quite the wakeup this morning. Never surprised anymore but this timing is about as poor as you can get. Not a ton of reasonable options this late, will be curious what happens but man they will need to move quickly. Not saying it is my preference, in fact disregarding that entirely, but I could see them promoting Chiv and doing everything they can to lock in the existing coaches with the (still stupid low) buyout money. Keeps the scheme the same, puts the best recruiter in charge, and George may view that as the ideal option given the poor hiring window. Again, not sure this is my preference, but I am sure it is more appealing to George now than it would have been 2 months ago.
