Brice just said there were three candidates. The first two weren't very interested, so they went after Al Washington. That makes sense. The idea that we've tried to hire 8 people is absurd. That hasn't happened

But the big question is-----did Brice say we landed our third candidate

Things like this is why people call him a clown. He runs with anything. It’s like saying if you call Saban, Urban, Gruden, Tomlin etc to say hey just calling to see if your interested then your on candidate 8. Their aren’t 7 people that got deep into talks and have turned down a million plus. You cast a wide net to gauge interest then narrow targets to focus on

exactly. Basilio has some info from time to time. But things like that make him look ridiculous

this is all so stupid... As pathetic of a program as we are right now, truly embarrassing, I don't even want the guy to come here if he is going back and forth for money... If he signs, it is only for more money and not because he wants to be here... I don't want someone wearing the T and running our defense because we were simply the highest bidder, I want him here because he wants to be here to improve our program and our kids...

That's Basilio for you. Yesterday it was 9, today its 8. lol Brice just shut that bs down real quick. Why some people take his word as gospel is beyond me.

That’s about the dumbest thing we can now do but hey, it’s a sign of the times. Qualified people will get left out because of this nonsense. Thought we might turn a corner but we are a complete mess, maybe in 3-4 years after this experiment fails we’ll get it right. Stupid is as stupid does, and we’ve proven we’re very stupid.

How do YOU know this? So much for giving people a chance.

Some people are easily triggered by the term "diversity." They would stroke out if they sat in meetings at UT-- or any large institution-- where diversity programs and policies are discussed and executed. It's a huge leap to assume hiring minorities means settling, making a bad hire or discounting a person's qualifications-- yet some are quick to leap, eager to assume and determined to take umbrage while doing it.

Big truth, I work in engineering and women especially are coveted as hires and team members. The career field as a whole needs more people involved and expanding is crucial to keep up with industry demands. So STEM programs are aggressively recruiting and diversifying at all levels of education to expand the workforce.

If it’s not your school..... why would you want to be anywhere if not for money?

Are you even listening to yourself? You're speaking nonsense.

It's not okay for an AD to keep whiffing on his hires, never getting one of his top choices. No matter what condition we're in, that's not called success. DW is getting paid a lot of money to hire his third, fourth, or fifth choices. The whole point of bringing him in, in paying him more than most other ADs, was his supposed ability to "get his guy". That's not to say things won't still work out. But he hasn't landed "his guy" on multiple tries.

LOL. Are we seriously doing this a month in? Come on, people.

I responded to your initial post saying that UT wanted a ”diversity hire” and that we were paying for it because I thought it sounded like a qualifier for the hire being made. I’m all in on any coach that’s the best fit for the D coordinator position. I really hope he ends up being the guy because I think he has tremendous upside. I think most people don’t care about anyone’s race in regards to the person getting the job, they just want to win.

Brice saying that tOSU is telling Washington to stick around another year and you'll get an offer next year from a better program than Tennessee
