re: We're screwed--- this has to be a bad terrible nightmare of a joke?
Posted by MDstudentHOG on 4/24/12 at 4:09 pm
Man, everyone is a little butt hurt.
JLS knows his place. He was obviously told that he has 10 months and that his coordinators were to coach. We will win 8-10 games, and we will get a splash hire for 2013.
Jeff Long has millions to spend (especially with a discount coach this year), a good ...

If your taking the 'personal obligation to players/close bonds' approach...
Would you not assume that he has more personal bonds with the UA's rising seniors, juniors, sophomores and incoming freshman that he recruited and coached for three years...
or the Weber state team, that he hadn't re...

He left Weber State without a head coach. Weber State.
One more time, so that we're clear. Weber State. He had been there for four months. He had not recruited a single player, and there are about 1/2 a million coaches available to coach in that capacity.
There was maybe two that could coach ...

Again, Jeff Long handed out a 10mo contract. That means he will spend the next year talking to various big name coaches.
Even if J. Smith takes UA to the NC, Jeff Long will know that 1. he did it with Petrino's team and 2. that he has around $5mil/year to buy the best coach available. ...

Can't beat em... hire him ~
Haha, I don't think Saban would jump ship for UA. Alabama would top anything we had to offer him. Therefore, any talk about Saban is mostly out of humor than anything else. ...

Smith was at Weber for 4 months. He didn't he recruit the freshman class. But, he had been on UA staff for the three years prior to that 4 months.
It was essentially promoting within.
.... would it have been better to take a coach that had been with a team for five years?...

[quote]More BS. If the guy loses one game and wins SEC, he will be back. Don't care what he or Long say.[/quote]
I don't know. A 10mo contract says (1) that Long is actively seeking candidates; (2) he didn't spend any money on this hire and firing CBP... and has a ton of money to throw at a new c...

Johnson/Haynes havn't been there long enough to have legitimate animosity and PPetrino is in a delicate situation. He never had a shot at the job any ways. ...

Its a solid hire. Long keeps the system as petrino-esque as possible for the 2012 season and then gets an 'Urban Meyer' Hire for 2013. CUM (ha) set a precedent, new coach will recruit while JL smith attends to the bowl preparation.

When does ACC plan to release conference schedule?
UA has possible dates @ either 9/22 or 10/20. Neither of those have been schedule for FSU... I dont know much about ACC scheduling.
