Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[volatil]

Fact: i’m Kinda threatening to leave my job right now. Angling for a raise for me and my PTAs. Hope it works like it did for Barnes

Bold strategy.

McDonalds has just offered you about 10 items on there menu they will sell for a $1 if you stay

IDT he'll flat-out distrust him, but he'll remember how all this played out. If you're interviewing with a potential employer while your boss is out of town and use that offer to strongarm your boss into going to the top of the foodchain to get you a much better deal, your boss is going to remember that. And when he gets you that deal and you say you're going to need to pray about it and you'll get back to him within 24 hours, he's going to remember that, too. Sure, it's business. But how it was done says something about the person doing it.

Let's just all be glad it's behind us.

The way this was handled Barnes needs to win next year. He doesn't get the benefit of the doubt of a rebuild now

 

[nesbuddha66]

All this just to keep Grant and Bone, well played Rick, well played

 

[Glitch]

Am i crazy to think that since Barnes is clearly not very happy here it'd probably just be best for him to leave at this point?

Bump

Barnes didn’t do anything others wouldn’t have done. Maybe not Phil, but majority of coaches would have made this same leverage play. They’re all mercenaries.

They are but most go about things much better. Perhaps he should’ve hired an agent. Image is important.

I hope they got his signature before announcing it.

And Fulmer won't be forgetting this. Like ever.

 

[tn88volfan]

I will forgive him...







if Bone and Grant come back.

 

[SmokinBob]

Kellie Jolly Harper going to rebuild Pat's dynasty. Buyer or seller?

I kinda wish we’d taken a chance on Lawson...

 

[Jimmy Football]

They’re all mercenaries.

This. Never forget it.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Believe me, don’t believe me whatever but AD Fulmer needs a lot of appreciation for what he did getting this done. He was gone and then he wasn’t. Anyone on twitter give him a shout out!

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Nailed it. I won’t come down from my anger for awhile. I lost a lot of respect for him.

Glad he stayed, but lost some respect at same time.

But he always acts like he isn’t like other coaches. He puts on the persona of a straight shooter. The Rick Barnes we came to know isn’t the the one that waits for his boss to go out of town and be distracted and interview without the other school ever receiving permission to speak with him.

UCLA fishing in the wrong lake. They should have thrown $$$ at Buffalo coach before he left for Bama.

If I were them, I’d give Sampson and Dawkins a call

I never liked Rick Barnes. Even less so now.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Has anybody tweeted Hyams yet? He was probably using his Brohm “sources”

 

[Glitch]

It’s done... he’s gone.

Bump

I think Dawkins will replace Coach K, relatively soon.

Well, that’s your fault for falling for that.

THEY ARE ALL MERCENARIES. Some can be bought for lower incentives than others, but they are all mercenaries with God complexes

How about that LA reporter who said this was done about 4 different times?

Depends on how Hurley does
