That's ******* dumb on one aspect
Bama calls, most pick up and go. McClendon, he's got a list of why he'd go to Georgia.
Neither was in the picture when Mario brought them on board. Had Mario and they offered at the same time, it wouldn't even be a discussion.
I think he's struggling to fill out his staff. Any way you look at it, it's a bad look. I just won't hold him accountable for these two coaches.
I also tend to think and issue with staffing is that he's brought some of his guys. As a DC or OC, you want autonomy on finalizing your staff. Getting stuck with guys you don't know, haven't worked with, or trust can be a bad thing as much as it can be a good thing if it works out.
I'm not excusing any lack of hires. It needed to get done a while ago.
