Have you considered that all of this could have been done and Williams still picked the money now?
I don't blame him. Judging by his production against teams with a pulse, $1.5 million is probably the most he'll ever make.
It very well could have.
But demeaning players for taking more money (which is basically what Kelly did) is a quick way to poison the well for future players. The reality is for transfers, money IS going to be a big part of it. Blaming the player for taking more money by saying "yeah, he's not our kind of guy because he just wanted a bigger paycheck".
Listen, the players SHOULD take the bigger paycheck unless you can convince him of a good reason to take less. A player taking more to go elsewhere rather than taking less to go to your school isn't a failure in the character of the player. It's a failure on the coaches part for not offering more or not convincing him to come to your school despite offering less.
Blaming a player for taking more money is really stupid because it makes a lot of sense to take more money. It makes the coach doing so look bad.

You haven't been paying attention, because Kelly has been saying that same thing consistently since he was hired here, and it hasn't hurt us in recruiting or portal.
The tackle depth is where it is because we've had 5 different defensive line coaches since the last game of the 2021 season.
We didn't get the defensive tackles we offered in this portal cycle because day 3 talents aren't worth 7 figures.
It's that fricking simple.

Would you feel the same way if your coach was saying these things?
Because he basically has:
quote:
In 2022, Georgia set a new record for most selections in a single NFL Draft with 15 picks.
“It’s a great sell to the kids that will listen to it,” Smart said Wednesday at Georgia's Pro Day. “There is a lot of them that want to ask about NIL. They don’t want to ask about what your NFL players have done. I think it’s much more important how you develop players than how much NIL you can give them.”
quote:
I want a self-starter. I want a guy that’s committed to the program, who’s selfless. I want all of the same things: size, speed. I want all those same things.
“It’s more be more selective over a kid you pick and choose from that the NIL is not the number one narrative.”
