I think CRB did a poor job in communicating his thought process today. Piecing together everything here is what I think he was trying to communicate:
UCLA offers him the job. He then prays and asked God, “is this your will?”
He believes it is what God wanted, but is unsure. He then said, “God, if you want me to go to UCLA, then give me a sign. Let them offer to pay the buyout.”
UCLA does not offer to pay buyout, thus CRB sees it as a sign to stay at Tennessee.
Basicly, IMO he threw out a fleece to determine whether he should stay or go.
Bingo. This was my take
Now he shouldn't hAve said much of what he did but he is blunt to a fault
