agree with all of this, and would just add, agents and their representatives will "give" info out to various local news outlets....as misdirection, and/or out of a need to maybe motivate certain programs to hopefully act to their, or their clients', benefit.
put this out about so and so here at program a, so program b will start to feel a sense of urgency. i believe that's definitely happening with Chip Kelly and FL/UCLA.
same with Frost and FL /Nebraska...or Mullen with aTm/TN....or Malzahn with Aub/ARK........
just moving chess pieces....
I believe you are correct. If agents are smart, they are tossing out the names of their clients to help push to get them (and in turn the agents) raises. And do that via third party channels.
If Currie is shooting for the stars as implied by several folks, he will not look at a Dan Mullen. And I continue to stand by my comments that there is a reason Mullen has been passed over by major programs before. However, with a smart agent like Sexton, he knows rumors and gossip will likely get him a raise from Moo State at worst or at best, make another school (ATM for example) jump the gun and give him a big fat salary upgrade with a new contract. He wins either way.
