Haven't been able to get on since last night. Skipped around trying to catch up. Is this the summary... Rumored last night Yurcich was being offered today. Rumored today he turned it down (LA said he did not know of anyone that has been offered.) Panic because we can not get anyone to come because CJP is hard to work for, and Helton is spreading those rumors. He can't get any good recruits.

Yeah, Lebby would rather coach QBs at UCF for 10% the pay. Or Briles would rather coach at Houston making $400k. He doesn’t want that extra milly a year. And Yurcich would rather stay in Oklahoma coaching games no one cares about. He definitely turned down double the pay to coach where it matters. And of course Freeze would much rather coach in Lynchburg VA in front of hundreds of fans. I think you figured it out.

Cool I thought so. Thanks for confirming.

Weekends I enjoy the entire rollercoaster.
The slow but steady ascent.
Creeping over the crest, on top of the world.

Workdays and scrolling?
"Boom, we're #1 b******", 2 scrolls later
"They stabbed us in the eye, right in the damn eye!"

I find it hard to believe that he hasn’t wanted a single candidate that we’ve interviewed so far. I feel like the issue is nobody wanting the job.

Am I reading that wrong?

I think you are 100% correct. Rumors circulated that the hire was "still" coaching (Chaney) and we weren't going to announce. That was the funniest of all. I'm sure we were going keep this a secret while he coached UGA until January. Bottom line is no one wants the job and we weren't aggressive enough in hiring. Pruitt knew for weeks that Helton was gone, but he didn't feel the urge "vet" candidates in those weeks. What a joke?

Man, Pruitt has some balls taking it this close to signing day. I would think you would want the new OC helping close on some studs right now

As frustrating as it is for fans, this hire is more important than a potential bump for this NSD. Although I think the effects of the OC on this cycle are being exaggerated by fans.

Missing a recruit or two stings now, missing this hire costs him his job in 2 years.

Both points can be true honestly. But of all the people Yurcich has the best set up where he currently is. He’s making 800k, has full control, and OK state OC has historically been a fast track to a head coaching position.
