Unless you have an employment contract, most employers would fire your ass if they knew you were talking to the competition about a new gig. Maybe some cant admit it, but the UM job is a top 5 job in the country. Probably better for RichRod cuz less competition that the SEC (when he looked at Bama job), a national recruiting base, and very good facilities. Nobody in their right mind leaves a great job until the have the new one signed, sealed, and delivered. And when Terrell Pryor ends up at scUM, it will be at least 3 years of pain for the rest of the Big Ten. Ive seen him live, and he looks alot like Vince Young. Smart move by RichRod to keep that guy in the loop, IMHO. |
No, it was a done deal, there was no negotiating on sidelines. Why blame the U & Mason when someone who didn't like the hire was obviously doing whatever they could to torpedo it?
The um job isn't a top 5 job in the country. USC, Texas, UF, FSU, Miami, LSU, OSU, PSU and others are all more attractive if only because they're in prime recruiting territories. In addition they have winning traditions, and are most are in the NC picture when um isn't.
