Uhhh..Its happening. Fuente is off the board. Herman aint coming I dont care what he says or doesnt say. So just curious..how long do we wait here? Using Consigliere list, Dantanio wont be available to talk until sometime in Jan...Chip Kelly too. Patterson around last December maybe early Jan..
So we basically say ***** an entire recruiting class (which just so happens to be an extremely talented year in SoFla) and hope and pray these guys are interested and if they are not, hire Butch sometime mid-January and pray he can piece together a class in 30 days? Sorry, there isnt one guy on that list I sacrifice this scenario for. Not one.
You're too antsy and panicky. You sound like a girl who needs to hurry up and get to the mall before the latest greatest pair of heels sells out.
If Butch is the recruiter his cultists think he is he can salvage this class and improve it in a week. There's no reason to panic and make a rushed hire just because a few recruiting nerds are worried. Make the right hire.
Now, if they wind up hiring Butch and never made a real run at a marquee guy, then, yeah, they should have done that already. If they think they can woo a marquee guy then let them do it.
