One is a guy who won so much he was hired for 4 million dollars a year by a p4 school (a bottom feeder)
One got bitch slapped by the likes of coastal Carolina, south Alabama. Never won a conference championship and missed two bowl games.
Do you know what lateral means?

Well that just hurts...all of the work I have put into pointing out all the problems and their solutions. (I even help Kerns when he needs it...for free) Nothing. No position for me in the new staff.BeauFoster wrote: ↑Thu Dec 05, 2024 2:26 pmStonewall has good sources. I just interviewed. NattyBumpo is my DC, EricSaid is OC and QB coach.

Can I apply for the assistant to the traveling secretary? The Yankees had that position maybe 30 years ago.

Re: Realistic coaching options for 2025...
To everyone that quoted me after yesterday's breakdown,
I never said Clark was mistreated but here is what all of you need to understand - when outside folk see he went 40-24 beat 3/4 ranked teams and has limited NIL and other small issues that are big things - it may deter a top notch candidate from accepting.
Since 2018/2019 3 different Head Coaches and how many different assistant coaches have walked the sidelines of KBS(more than we can count) we can agree on this...
It's a known fact Satt wanted to stay if he was made highest paid in SBC, DG refused.
It's a known fact Drink and DG butted heads, barely spoke at times in his 1 year. Only 2 Drink assistants wanted to stay back, Clark and Watts.
It's a known fact Satt told Ledford not to take the job in 2019.
You have zero idea how many other staffers have spread the word in coaching circles of how the infrastructure support isn't there that the outside world (like 99% of you guys) think is there.
Coaches talk to other coaches - the aforementioned things get out in coaching circles.
Some of you won't understand any of this because you refuse to have an open mind.
If Neal Brown accepts the job I'd be shocked, rarely ever does the first offer take it.

Re: Realistic coaching options for 2025...
The bolder part needs some clarification. Doug didn’t refuse to give him more money, there wasn’t more money to give. Sure Doug could have gone out and looked for it but he wasn’t motivated to do so. Satt didn’t believe in the chain of command and would routinely go over Doug’s head. If I have an employee that showed that type of disrespect and that employee gives me an ultimatum then I’m taking that opportunity to remove the problem.DenverOfTheEast wrote: ↑Fri Dec 06, 2024 7:44 amTo everyone that quoted me after yesterday's breakdown,

Re: Realistic coaching options for 2025...
this is not true. Satts goal was to make it to P4 and he openly said so. If Beth liked Cincinnati more, he'd have been there (G5 at the time) instead of louisville (Cinci is the cooler town IMO) he might have said those things when negotiating with DG incase P4 didn't work out yet, might as well be the top paid SBC coach, but he was going P4 at the right opportunity.DenverOfTheEast wrote: ↑Fri Dec 06, 2024 7:44 amTo everyone that quoted me after yesterday's breakdown,

The k ow it all act was old two years ago. Always belittling everyone because you claim to know it all and blah blah blah. Look, I'm sorry your favorite jock won't be around to sniff anymore.

App is going to be just fine and no our name is not mud in the coaching circles.
Will you follow Clark to his new job as his town crier and jock holder? Pleade make sure you tell his new fanbase how little they know about anything. I fins that goes over really well as a first impression.

Re: Realistic coaching options for 2025...
He told Doug that if you make my staff the top paid staff in the SBC, he would stay until his kids were out of WHS. He was going to go P4 at some point. That is true.
