We may lose one, but it wont be Santos. He's an East TX kid that really does want to be at UT. I'm sure the type of discipline that BG brings will be very intriguing to many parents. And like 2inthedry stated, LT was pumped about the possibility. If it's true then we shouldn't have the issues you are concerned about. Like I said in another post LT is definitely very important in this next hire. He needs to feel he isn't getting a slap in the face by the hire or he is gone. If not gone this yr then next yr which would be bad too cause he will have a yr of undermining if he wants to go that route.
I mentioned before that we may lose out on a guy or 2, but the good thing about BG is that he has experience in bring out the best in whoever he is handed. Which is a positive thing. Just all IMHO of course...
Obviously your a relative of this guy or a navy alum. Dooley has to make a PR splash with this hire and Buddy doesnt do it. I respect what hes doing at Navy but this is a much different ballgame in the sec.
I wish I was as optimistic as you but this hire will not inspire the fan base and dooley desperately needs good pr right now if he even wants to survive past the florida game.
Bad pr is pointless. If he wins next year it wont matter. Better than making a big hire and not working out
WRONG... I am neither. I grew up 13 miles away from Neyland Stadium, I attended UT, and my father was an enlisted man in the Navy that loved Navy Football.
Dooley doesn't need a splash, he needs W's and he gets the best chance with BG. No one remembers the press conference or the "spalsh". Fans and supporters remember seasons.
I have to disagree . With 4 true freshmen playing and us still having the 28th best defense and holding uga to 20 points is impressive to me.
I wish I was as optimistic as you but this hire will not inspire the fan base and dooley desperately needs good pr right now if he even wants to survive past the florida game.
