we will be better long term.

that said, Merk isn't the answer. simply isn't time. also, this should serve as notice to huep that promoting friends instead of finding best coach and recruiter is bad business. the inability to find elite talent, and missing on evals is not good.

You have no idea if Merk is or isn’t the answer. You’re just saying it.

What a massive tragedy.

How could you ever think you'd be worth $4M?

How could you screw it all up this bad?

They should have stuck to their guns in December and we all could have moved on. Hell, even pulling the holdout a few weeks earlier. At least that gives us more time to evaluate options and make a move.

So stupid. So massively stupid.

Carson Forehead is in Miami getting his Uros stolen, breaking up with a super model and making 4.5 million - is how. If you spend anytime coaching, leading or interviewing this generation they believe every 6 months they have leveled up and deserve an increase at whatever they are doing. Literally breathing is a level up in some of their minds.

Sadly Nico was leading against his peers and thought that should continue.

This is nothing more than another tragic arc of pride, hubris, and humility.

This generation will blame the rest of us, but a reckoning is coming.

You aren't wrong but I do still doubt the numbers that we're getting thrown around for him. He's gonna act like he got paid. Miami people always want to talk about how much money they can blow.

I don't buy it.

And I think blowhards making blowhard noises activated the blowhard in our neck of the woods (Dad Nic), and he did blowhard things

It's the dumbass Olympics

Pride and ego leading to self-sabotage is the lesson, as you say

I am sexist because I literally barely discuss what might be our next NC team. They've beat the best at their houses and I have barely commented. Forgive me ladies. I repent.

One of the best collegiate sports. ESPN should pay fines for not broadcasting on regular + or making it premium.

In the grand scheme it’s really more of a dumb hiccup.

There are real tragedies, even massive ones, but this ain’t it.

I was referring to the traditional, theatrical sense of tragedy where all players (in this case, Vols and Nico) lose after much drama.

But yes, compared to the holocaust and 9/11 I guess this isn't that bad

I think with lack of outbound transfers, at best we can add 5 or 6 when all is said and done. So the spots will be important.

Last I counted, I was thinking 3-4 spots were open, and that's with Nico and Slaughter leaving. To add more, we'd have to push more out.
