I been saying this forever, its a lame argument, nobody knows who offered who what, period. Your gunpoint thing is spot on as well, Butch had money, plenty, enough to call his shot, he has a house by Jimmy in the keys, loves it here, and dont want to be anywhere else. It was a huge mistake to hire Rick, i said it on here the day we did it, imo there was only one coach for this program after fat albert did his thing. Also i have said on here many times, had we hired Butch we would have gotten Jimmy;s input for free, they are very close, and neighbors. Man that would have been priceless, to have those 2 guys in our corner, ***ing priceless, and the young clowns here that cant see that are ***ing tards to the 10th, that would be 10th degree tards. I swear the average age of this board is 25, we should take a poll, i aint far offHow do you know what jobs he was offered? How would you know what jobs he turned down with the initial contact?
A lot of that stuff is done quietly - confidentially - through contacts and those who are sent to contact a coach - as Universities normally don't want the negative publicity of being turned down publicly.
You got ESP? You have visions of all job offers in college football? You stare at a bowl of water like Nostradamus? How in **** do you know who offered who?
Don't forget - we were getting Gruden - and his brother. Every possible name was put out there, and none of it was correct - as the University never announced one, single offer. Not one. But suddenly Golden was hired. Same thing with Richt - BOOM! He was hired.
Some of us wouldn't move to Lincoln, Nebraska at gunpoint. Or Atlanta. Or Oregon. Or Pennsylvania, Arizona, Kentucky, Mississippi, or West By-God. Gun to our head.
Especially if we're getting fat checks to sit at home.
That's one of the most ridiculous arguments against Butch I can imagine.
I don't know schitt. But no one else does either.
