“We won eight games last year and we’re disappointed, but we all know that Gus is the right guy for us, and it’s obvious other schools in the SEC feel the same way about their guys. We’ve lost leverage, but where else would you go? Who’d you bring in? Us and Ole Miss both hired guys that weren’t long out of high school. Kentucky hired an assistant coach. Florida hired Colorado State’s coach who was an offensive coordinator three years ago. It’s a big-time business. When you’ve got the right guy, you’ve got to go all-in.”
