He was always getting more responsibilities and had upward upward trajectory with the 49ers. Do you think the 49ers were just going to let him Walk? Kyle shanahan loves Hankerson and has put him under his wing for two years, he was always going to put up a fight.
The point im trying to make is the 49ers were always going to fight to keep him. Hankerson had an upward trajectory in the NFL before he even decided to interview. That 49ers staff gets picked cleaned every off-season for HCs and Coordinators, that didn't just change all of a sudden. The other variable is money, do you think they offered so much more for Hankerson that we couldn't match? Idk usually the top position coaches in college make more then the NFL.
Is it possible that Hankerson interviewed with the mindset he was going to accept the job if offered and then he got a call from his ol buddy Kyle to make his final sales pitch? That sales pitch could of reminded him about the stability he currently has with the 49ers and how if he stays he will be a OC or HC in no time and to sweeten the deal he will match what the Canes are offering. Hankerson then sits down and realizes it's probably in his best interest to stay with the 49ers after just a day before wanting the Canes job. That's what I view as cold feet, he was planning on doing something and then the last second backed out for whatever reasons.
Regardless both sides of the argument are just opinions, none of us know what truly happened behind closed doors. I'm giving my opinion just like you are giving yours, neither of us have concrete evidence on why he decided to stay.
He was always getting more responsibilities and had upward upward trajectory with the 49ers.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS? You just SAY IT "he was always getting more responsibilities". REALLY? HOW DO YOU KNOW?
Do you think the 49ers were just going to let him Walk?
AGAIN, HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS? Hank interviewed for 2 weeks. The big 49ers counteroffer did not come until the very end. Unlike you, I don't pretend to know what is going on in the minds of people I don't know, like Shanahan. But what we DO KNOW is that the extra money could have been promised AT ANY TIME over several weeks. I have no idea whether the 49ers were checking out the market and decided there were no better options. But unlike you, I can admit to what I don't know.
Kyle shanahan loves Hankerson and has put him under his wing for two years, he was always going to put up a fight.
FOR THE THIRD TIME, HOW IN GOD'S NAME DO YOU KNOW THIS? "Put him under his wing for two years"? What in the **** does that even mean? You mean "paid him a paycheck for two years and was otherwise happy with his job performance"? Sure. Again, as has been made abundantly clear, Hank's wife and kids lived in SoFla. Maybe it was for $$$ reasons. Maybe it's because he didn't think the NFL job was secure enough to move his whole family west. WHATEVER the reason, he got the assurances he needed to feel good about staying in CA instead of moving back with his family in FL.
Hankerson had an upward trajectory in the NFL before he even decided to interview.
So what? WTF is "upward trajectory" (and don't try to use your ***** as an example)? Was Hankerson promoted? Given a raise? Just "being liked and admired", in and of itself, does not constitute an "upward trajectory". Again, multiple posters have described the things that were said and done for Hank to convince him to stay in SF, therefore the things that YOU are alluding to were just illusory, at least to Hank. Now that he has MORE CONCRETE assurances, in both words and $$$, I'm happy for him, but the REASON he was about to join UM was because he would have gotten more money and there are a lot more OC-type job opportunities in college than in the NFL. PLUS HE IS A UM ALUM AND LOVES UM, which you consistently undervalue as a decision-factor, as you are not a UM alum.
The other variable is money, do you think they offered so much more for Hankerson that we couldn't match? Idk usually the top position coaches in college make more then the NFL.
YOU JUST MAKE **** UP. Do you know what the term "usually" means? It would indicate "greater than 50%". So where is your statistical proof that "the top position coaches in college make more then the NFL". ****, I don't even know what that word-salad means, but you seem ABNORMALLY FIXATED on this concept that "we could match". And you have NO IDEA what the negotation was. You have NO IDEA if Miami had the right to match, or if SF had the right to match, at least in Hank's decision process. You just keep repeating it, "Miami could match", over and over and over and over again. Without even knowing if that is true.
And for the thousandth time, NONE OF THIS IS YOUR OPINION. All of this is about you (a) using incorrect vocabulary, and (b) assuming multiple facts and arguments of which you have NO IDEA.
And, no, I'm not letting you walk about with some "there are good people on both sides" nonsense. This isn't "we can agree to disagree".
You are wrong, definitionally. And you have invented facts to support your ridiculous "opinion".
That's the god's honest truth.
