Image being AD DW for a second. He goes to meet coach “fill in the blank”.
DW: “Hey coach been watching your progress over the years. you’ve done a great job with the school building the program up from scratch. got your winning tradition and culture established there. How would you like to come to Knoxville where it’s been a total mess for years, there is no culture. we’re about to be put on probation for 2 to 3 years with reduced scholarships, no chance of bowl games, no championships and we are probably going to ruin your winning reputation but hey we will pay you lots of money”
doesn’t really sound like a very good thing to jump into.
Bonsai!!!!
