There is clearly nothing that changed about his job approach, qualifications, and performance that changed overnight when he got a contract extension and raise.

Eh, dude took Houston to a New Years Six bowl in year 1 and won the AAC title. I'm sure Houston loved him in his interview but I doubt they were banking on THAT kind of performance out of him.

So you aren't privileged to the specifics of the search but extrapolate that Herman played USCe? How do account for the great time that USCe was given? Also how do you account for the literally dozens of other qualified candidates other than Boom and Herman that could have been contacted?

I think it shows class from both Smart and UGA

I'm fairly certain that Ray Tanner used a search firm for this coaching opening

He was literally not qualified by the search consultant

As a recruiter we were taught to uncover the TRUE motivating factors for a move and then we were taught to cover counter-offers early and often. This was not done.

well, I don't consider your opinion an informed one at all. in fact, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. you can't prove anything you said is a fact. you can't even prove USCe main target was Herman.

as far as your professional credentials are concerned I can tell you aren't worth a shite at your profession or you are a liar. you cannot, with certainty QUALIFY a candidate. said candidates lie their arse off if it serves their purpose. and i'll bet you a dime to a do-nut that you NEVER have searched for a position in the sports world much less the uber competitive college football world.

so you've been to training classes and filled a few low level positions. big friggin' deal.

Damn, who shite in your Metamucil?

No, you don't get what I am saying. This is a general philosophy not specific to college football coaching.

Say you find out that your employer just gave the guy in the next cubicle over a raise. He had a great year... but so did you. In fact, you had a *stellar* year compared to anything you've done before for the company. You made them a LOT of money.

But, you yourself haven't heard a word about a raise. You go tell your manager that the company down the road has contacted you about a job opening and they have made you a job offer. So your manager decides to give you a raise as well... but you had to ask for it. If not for the threat of leaving to another company, they would have never given you a raise. Or even thought about it.

You were doing great and making them a lot of profit. There is NOTHING that changed about your job from yesterday to today but now you are making a lot more money. You are not working more hours, nor making more sales, nor saving the company more money. But all of a sudden they think you are worth more... because of the hole you would have left.

Would that not infuriate you? If today's pay rate is more reflective of your worth, then why were they not paying you what you were worth YESTERDAY?

Now let's not get ahead of ourselves

How do we know Houston wasn't planning on giving Herman a raise at the end of the year (when most raises are given)? The only reason this came up sooner was because Carolina was apparently trying to make a move during the middle of the season so Houston had to respond.

Thank you for your informed opinion. Now, looking closer to home, how do you explain that UGA is allowing Smart to stay at bammer until after Jan. 11th? Do you not find it a bit pathetic that UGA cannot get the coach they just hired to get on campus for over another month?

---

It's so simple, even an Auburn fan can understand it.

UGA targeted the guy they wanted in Smart. Smart had a condition of wanting to finish the season at Bama. UGA, looking long term and big picture and seeing the positives for them...every commentator during the games calling him "New UGA coach Kirby Smart...", etc., etc...decided that it was something they can live with. And since the dead period is from mid December to mid January, there's little he can do in terms of recruiting anyway.
