There are. Go be your own man like Gundy and promote a guy like Yurcich, then support him and stand behind him.
If that's Osovet then effin sack up and call your shot. I think some of the delay, most of the delay has more to do with Pruitt not knowing what he really wants, or wanting his cake and eating it too like no staff spots.
Right, but what I mean is - when something smells like **** it’s because it’s ****.
Auburn made a bad hire because everyone knows Gus is a dead man walking.
We’re having a hard time hiring an offensive coordinator because it’s a tough job made even tougher by a meddling defensive minded head coach, an offensive line coach who the head thinks is deserves to call some of the shots, and a roster a couple years away from putting up impressive “counting” stats that will springboard you to a head coaching job. It’s not because we’ve just been playing it coy to be cute and we’ve had our guy the whole time.
All told, I’m still confident we’ll make a good hire. We pay a lot of money and big time college ball is really fun. But we’re either going to hire a Friend-of-Pruitt or we’re going to pluck someone’s QB coach or lower level OC.
Maybe I’m talking out of my ass. I don’t know anything either. But this is following the same pattern everything at the university of Tennessee follows.
1) opening occurs
2) big names are mentioned
3) supreme confidence in our decision makers
4) big names fall away one by one
5) question the decision makers
6) make a somewhat underwhelming hire
7) “our decision makers are idiots and we’re screwed”
.

8) “ya know what, the more I think about this the more I like the hire”
.
.
.
9) “I think we should compete for the east this year”
