Nothing I've seen from briles indicates he doesn't want to be here. He got an opportunity to return to Texas and work with family friends.

You’re ignoring or dismissing the entire Mississippi State episode. A division rival apparently was a serious consideration. So you get concessions in the form of your contract being re-structured, and the title of associate head coach. In response, damn near immediately you are playing footsie with TCU. Sorry, I just don’t see it as a stretch for his bosses to think he didn’t want to be here.

Take my career in IT. I currently work at a great company who I'm not really interested in leaving. I still listen to ovations from recruiters that interest me or demonstrate where i can make more money. It doesn't mean i don't wanna work at my current company it just means it's a competitive job market and i need to stay on top of what I'm worth and what opportunities i have in it.

I have a similar situation in my field. But I don’t take my boss’ competitors overtures for more money or higher status and use it as leverage and a passive aggressive ultimatum for more concessions from my boss. It might fly once, maybe even twice in my career. If I pull it twice in one month? He’s going to say you probably should take that opportunity.

College football coaching turnover is a spectacle year in and year out. These guys would be dumb to not squeeze every dime they can out of the slush fund because you can also get runout and lose your ability to make that money again pretty easily.

I get this, and pretty much agree. But you can’t sell Briles wanting more than anything to be here as OC and possibly HC at some point on one hand, and then this mentality on the other. It’s completely self serving for Briles. Which is why I said way back in this thread, if he wanted to be here, that’s where he would be.

Well then Enos for Briles is a wash, at worst.

Except Briles is better between the 20s

Pitt was one of the reasons for lack of success however

So you're in the fire Pittboss camp?

One thing is for certain: if Briles is eventually hired, he'll suddenly be labeled the next coming of Saban by many of the same folks trying to convince us that Enos is an upgrade.

And....

He is now committed to our Razorbacks! WPS!

A really, really good get. Had some sort of issue in the past that evidently USCe wouldnt let him enroll for. Perhaps Title9??? All really quiet on this however. When he wasn't accepted soon enough by USCe, and was having to wait on an answer, Deke Adams struck. Yes, He actually has quite a bit to do with him coming here. Yep, THAT DEKE< lol

I read 14 pages on a gamecocks board, then read some on a mizzou board (Ouch, my eyes) ... They are pretty confident on it. But no proof.

One even said that a female student made an accusation but declined to prosecute. BUt the President of USCe knows the family personally and believed the story so nixed the transfer to USCe... Said it was on a radio show earlier in the day in SC... IDK man, something was messed up to have them be unable for him to attend, then he comes here withing a few days. WPS I guess

I thought this was interesting article on the new staff and their pay from a while back. This is prior to the briles move.

For all those saying we're not spending any money on coaches. Granted the article also outlines That we saved 150k in assistant salaries this round. Then you get the 200k(enos at 1.1 and briles was gonna be 1.3) back from enos and briles exchange. Were gonna end up reducing costs this off-season for sure.

Yeah, there is a rumor on 247 that we are NOT hiring a 10th assistant coach this time around. Folks are going nuts.

LOL, the rumors never cease.
