I'm sure candidates will be dying to come here once Blake James tells them they will not have full control of their staff. Maybe if we hire Mario that happens, otherwise there's no shot.
Kyle, you're missing it.
I'm not saying that UM will select coordinators and position coaches.
I'm saying the HC that's GOING to be hired - has already met with key members of the board, and when asked about his coordinator and position coaches, told them his preferences.
THEN, rather than make a contact mistake - this Kornhole outfit can make contacts with the PREFERRED coordinators/position coaches, to get a feel for their interest at a certain salary offer.
Everyone it seems is under contract currently - either with teams or with ESPN. Contacting coaches is a sticky proposition - which is why Kornhole was called in the first place - to work around those limitations.
Maybe HC contacts are not the only contacts they're making. Maybe some really hot **** coordinators as well.
