re: Brad Lawing - rooster?

Carlos Dunlap went to Florida because Florida got his mom into the equation for Cam wages.

... and because Charlie Strong was the lead guy recruiting him and his mother and when he left us for UF he basically took Dunlap with him.

Brad caught the flack but it wasn't on him.

Now, there is the whole Vonnie Holiday story ... Mack was in on that.

In full disclosure, I've known Mack most of my life. He and I had the same Godfather, Coach John Cobb, who died just a couple of years ago. Mack has been by the Cockaboose. He's a good guy. We'd better be ready for what he is going to do recruiting-wise in NC. Boom will tell you that he learned a lot about recruiting from Mack.

He'll assemble a solid staff but he can't really compete against us in terms of money or SEC affiliation when it comes to coaches in this region ... but he'll hire recruiters. He's got a ton of contacts. I would be fine with him taking Lance and us getting Brad. Brad gets a bad rap for the way he left us but he had no choice at the time and even SPURrier understood that.

As far as who Mack may try to hire as OC and DC I have no clue but I doubt he would offer Brad the DC job. He'll be very particular.

ETA: He's already poached the TE coach from A&M. LINK
