No. 1, you’ll enjoy your job day to day, your staff will enjoy it more and so will your other players.”
Yeah okay sure. If that was actually his philosophy he wouldn't be pulling in the classes that he has. I give it to him hes a good salesman. That something people say just because it sounds nice. Theres not a coach in the top 25 on 247 that takes that philosophy. Get the best of the best or lose.

You're right about one thing. He's a great salesman.
After this statement his next offer to a top RB's folks isn't, "We need your son at all costs." It's, "We want talented, quality kids to build something, and we believe your son is one of them." It's not, "We let in everyone with talent." It's " We can turn away great backs, but we think you'll fit in and will be successful."
Passing on Evans makes the class less talented, but the press conference allows that decision to make next year's pitch even stronger.
ETA:
Right now, what wouldn't Mullen or Gus do to get Evans? Desperation has never been attractive.
