I'm not AV but from what has been posted by Stoerner, it appears the big fish was in fact Franklin. They basically negotiated with him for three or so days and he kept moving the parameters every day. It was supposed to be a done deal and that's what AV was talking about and he thought we would like it. The back up plan was Elliott but it took too long for UT to move on from Franklin and the people around Elliott convinced him to back out too. That's when DW went to JH. In retrospect, AV was giving us the information that he had ben given. That changed and here we are.

Not gonna lie ... I think we have who we needed to get all along.

Did I strike a nerve, buddy?

To recap: You made vague statements earlier this week like you knew who the DC was and we would love it. In a new era when White has info on lock. No one in the media knows anything, but a media guy who works for the Jets knows. Only to then when names started to surface, be like “OMG those are the names I heard! Cats over the moon bag lolol”


And to be clear - I never banged the table for Pruitt to be back. I pointed out how the timeline made no sense, and mocked the endless barrage of insiders posting emojis or, in the case of a few, posting long detailed war and peace diatribes outlining everything that was going on in the AD. Oh, that and @MIT_Beavers claim that Pruitt was going to be fired the Sunday post A&M.

But keep up your schtick. Its entertaining. 😉

I’ve also already said Ash and House were the two names that i heard wanted the job and have talked to huepel. Keep playing your role though pal. You bring a lot of good discussion and opinion to the board

But to further elaborate on it. I heard house from a guy here who is still close with Kacy and that if house got it.... then he would bring Kacy with him.

We were told that leaks start after 9 so we will see. I believe its going to be a great hire. You know all these coaches interviewed for any HC has to have a list of those he would want or he would go after if hired. With Heupel having coached in the SEC before he knows how important a great DC hire is, I can't wait to see who it is.

Do you even hear yourself right now lol. You sound like a jealous ex hunting down message board posters lol. It’s obvious You just like to be the “Aha! I got you!” Guy because you literally bring nothing to this forum but it. I’m not even sure you watch the games based off the few posts you have that are actually talking about football but I’m certainly sure you don’t understand what you’re watching.

People need to lay off @Atlanta VOL. At the time Franklin seemed like a "good hire" from a W/L point of view. I understand why he would be "over the moon". It would have been a big boy hire considering our circumstances. But this does indeed seem to be what happened (Franklin strung us along and Elliot baled). However, it may be that we ended up in better shape in the long run with CJH than we would have with Franklin. I recall hoping it would be Franklin fearing what we might fall back to if it didn't work out (Sonny Dykes for one), but wasn't totally comfortable if Franklin were the hire. Creepy dude to say the least. I personally am glad where we landed. He wants to be here, fun offense, and even if it takes some time, with the correct DC this could be a great hire.
