Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Ron Swanson]

Ouch. That will not happen.

Sure it will if Pruitt wants him.

 

[PYSCHO]

Yea i would’ve been happy with him here

Great town I went to school there. Tough being in pac 12 for them but they will love it there.

 

[jkleno]

Heck- we should have hired Mike Leach and said screw an OC.

 

[Ron Swanson]

UTAD will NOT hire Briles with a $800,000 buy out when he could have been interviewed/hired 1 week ago without the buyout.

Sure they will. Or maybe they put Houston on the schedule in 2028 or something. There are ways.

 

[jpope9]

So we acting like 800k is too much for a buyout now?

they sure will when they were paying Helton 1.2 mill for a pile of crap.

 

[drylo]

That 247 article really sounds like Briles. I’m surprised. Why in the world did he just sign that contract?

His resume is something I can get excited about. I’ll still believe it when I see it.

 

[jkleno]

My point is that what has happened in a weeks time? Surely, Pruitt would have liked him last week. Something went down and/or somebody turned us down and now Pruitt is scrambling to find an OC. What ya think?

needs to find a way to void that bad boy toot sweet.

 

[Vols410]

Are there any two OC's more different than Briles and Enos? I feel like this should nix any ideas that Pruitt has an overly specific idea of what kind of box he wants to force an OC into.

Why wouldn't he? Either way, he wins. Programs will still be interested in him and, if not, he gets a nice bump in salary... wouldn't you?

 

[jkleno]

We could have hired him without the buyout last week if we really wanted him.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I'm getting excited at the thought of any of those 3. All massive upgrades

Job security. In case interview doesn't go well and he doesn't get offered?

 

[Kingston Vol]

And roughly $800,000 buys him out of that contract.

I thought it was $550k for each year with three years left?

 

[ob79]

We could have hired him without the buyout last week if we really wanted him.

Last week, we were attempting to hire other candidates.

 

[amazingGRACE]

Now everyone is going to get excited for Briles.

Then Lou Holtz is announced tomorrow.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

So Hugh Freeze is the new Gruden? Gruden is Freeze....Freeze is Gruden!!!! Have they been seen in the same place at the same time?!

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

I don't believe any of you. I don't believe anything. You all have burned me so many times I'm afraid of the light now.

 

[Kingston Vol]

We could use the money we get from Helton's buyout for Briles buyout.

I'm a problem solver.

We didn’t make Helton pay a buyout.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Here we go....

Per 247 Kendal Briles has emerged as a leading candidate for OC along with Enos. Briles will interview maybe as soon as tomorrow

 

[jkleno]

Freak may have to delete the Harrison Bailey commit article on the front page if Briles is the OC.

 

[drylo]

Why wouldn't he? Either way, he wins. Programs will still be interested in him and, if not, he gets a nice bump in salary... wouldn't you?

Well, he gets a nice bump in salary, but there’s $800k that Houston is getting from somebody that maybe he could have pocketed from UT (i.e. UT pays him $1m/year, but might have been willing to pay him up to $1.3m/year if no buyout to Houston)... Or it could cost him a P5 offer conceivably.

 

[jkleno]

Last week, we were attempting to hire other candidates.

Then who are the ones turning us down? Just curious.

 

[jordan4vols]

Everybody focus on Briles and Enos name shows up again.
