If UM doesn't have a coach before the dead period ... Good chance you lose Jack Allison .. Zach McCloud, Patrick Bethel and Sam Bruce... I've been told that the coach is more important than any recruit .. so we take those 4 loses as collateral damage (that would be CRAZY IMO)... Hire or Announce before dead period .., If You wait that means you are hiring somebody who is not available now.
I'd take Chip Kelly over those 4 17 year olds.
This sounds good in theory. So in your opinion, we jump into a bidding war with USC and maybe even LSU for Chip and lose 75% of the class and if we lose the bid......then what? Pray that Butch doesnt feel disrespected and removes his name from consideration and then be stuck with Mario?
