re: Willing to bet Briles saw the writing on the wall with Pittman

quote:

---

bet Briles was lifting his skirt to any and all suitors because he realized Sam had legitimate deficiencies as a head coach and zero fire to fix them, and thus decided he had to bolt.

---

I would assume, he just wanted more money, which he probably should have gotten.

quote:

---

Pittman purportedly (and by his own admission) relied heavily on Odom when it came to in-game decision making. He lost that safety valve.

---

Which is why I thought an established coach like Petrino could have saved him this year, and let him rebuild his rep, maybe been named coach in waiting while learning to actually recruit from Pittman.

Something about how bad we are — and how terrible of a coaching job Sam has done — makes me think Briles saw the writing on the wall (and the writing said "shitshow").

I still believe it was Money, I don’t think he wanted another short stint, he wanted his next job to be a HC.
