We need to think about this Josh Gattis hire by Maryland for just one second. Gattis was fired for cause by Miami. He went to a school with 2 former OCs on staff. He's not calling the plays (this is widely known). But somehow, he got Maryland to agree to an OC title to salvage his career...

I don't know if it will work, but I'll say this. We came close to making that pitch work with Candle. And more importantly, didn't he get fired by North Texas?

I didn't intend to invoke Jameis Winston as a comparison to Gattis directly, but merely because of how the accuser/victim in that case got a settlement from the University itself for the Title IX violation (FSU's failure to investigate). Sorry for any confusion.

I put together a flow-chart on the hearsay exceptions/exemptions as he taught them, and a few of my classmates figured out I had the class on lockdown. I ended up tutoring a couple of my 1L Section B classmates the night before the exam. I finished the exam at least an hour early. Graham came...

The man has arrived. Put some respect on @Cribby 's name, y'all. He was right AND on-time with everything.

I'm not saying they didn't talk, but it wasn't about COACHING personnel decisions. Before Alonzo officially came aboard, he was only being asked about PLAYER personnel. Now that Alonzo is officially officially on the payroll, those HR conversations can take place. We can say what we will, but...

I was talking more of an "internal" redemption story, where an employer gives a person another chance to succeed in this cold cold world. Obviously, didn't work out so well...

I'm not saying that. Could have been consensual, but I don't know details like: ---age ---alcohol/substances ---cover-up ---intimidation factors ("don't tell anyone") ---status afterwards (i.e., ghosting, stalking, promises, etc.) ---retaliation I am not saying that any/all of those are true...

He definitely grooms...

You could ask that question 1000 times, and you'd get "no" 1000 times...

Yeah, and this is why people were hinting at "NFL jobs", where this type of behavior is not AS frowned upon...

One of my all-time favorite movie lines, particularly in context.

Never seems to stop dudes who are REALLY motivated...

Agreed. Mario got really lucky at Alabama/Oregon to be surrounded and asssisted by great staff. We just had some bad timing with Dan being hired and Alonzo not being on board yet. NOT an excuse, just a reflection of how crazy **** was a year ago, and how much better it can be with a full...

Yep. Obviously, Gattis sold himself well during his interview. And...NOW...people can figure out why I've been pounding the table for Alonzo. That guy made a career out of crisscrossing this great country, talking to college coaching staffs, and getting the lowdown on everything and everyone...

I understand your feelings. But let's not also ignore the fact that a healthy chunk of Americans "love a good redemption story".

And now people can figure out why I'm CAUTIOUS on Frost. I don't pretend to know everything, but I do know that you have to take past occurrences (or even "rumors" of occurrences) seriously. Nobody wants to be the person (or institution) that ignores all the red flags.

It's all good. I'm a UM alum, so while some want to **** around and call me a "slurper", I'm just a guy who loves my alma mater and wants to see UM do well. If anyone asks me to put something in the vault, I do it. But with the guys I talk with, DM with, text with...they know I've seen a few...

Ha! Man, I've been walking a tightrope with hints. At one point, I actually had to ask @RVACane to pull back one of my hints, though I can't remember if it was a Gattis hint. I DM'd him and told him "I ****ed up", and he cleaned up my mess. @RVACane is amazing!
