[The.Real.2506]

Hmmmmm, sounds like maybe somebody has defected

Could they kick?

hope so, we could use a good kicker :thumb:

Heard from a reliable source Kent is considering himself for the HC position.

Source said Kent acknowledged he is a “baseball guy” but is confident he and Greg Sundberg will right the ship.

YAHTZEE!!!

I'm told to trust the process but I want a coach now.
Call AD Haslam, 877-COACH-NOW.

If you need cash now?

I actually emailed Kent. I just wanted to ask whether or not the verbals were guaranteed a scholarship and has that been communicated. I emphasized that now is a volatile time in the recruiting game and pointed out that Sean Anderson and others are getting other offers and trying to be poached.

He actually wrote me back. Have a new respect for him for that, especially in light of all that is going on. He assured me that Green is touch with all the recruits up to what the NCAA allows and that he is working hard to make this process move as quickly as possible.

If Kent is even making calls that is even more impressive IMO.

That’s good of him to email you back. I’ve met him and he’s a nice guy. However, I still don’t like the answer. He needs to just move on candidates. Mississippi State just hired Moorehead from Penn State they vetted 4 other candidates and made a decision. Mullen was hired by Florida on Sunday so in my opinion I don’t think Haslam was prepared for this. Criticism for Haslam is very fair.

I agree.... any and all contact that is OK by the NCAA is what should and needs to be done to calm the verbals...

Coach Green has been burning up the phone and its good to hear that Haslem called them too.

Well let’s hope Green’s hard work is rewarded by the next coach with a job. He deserves it at this point.

I hear ya. I'm not defending him at all. Just wanted to let folks know he listens and replies. In fact, my email was pretty harsh and pointed out we are wasting valuable time and dragging this out way too long. I respected him getting back to me with at least some info.

That’s good to know some ADs wouldn’t respond to a email like that. In my opinion, however, still doesn’t change the fact that indecisiveness has had some negative impact all around on the program. Hate to see the reaction of this going another day or two with recruits, media shit storm, and the fans. Longer it goes worse it gets.

You need to post here more. Are you related to CDA?

Haslam has been calling the recruits tonight and telling them to be patient with the process and a decision will be coming. No names being mentioned and date of announcement not specified.

How the hell do you know this? Asking for no one and no names mentioned.

 

[grizpack]

Let's play this out for a minute. You receive a resume, and you arrange an interview on Thursday morning. you tell all the applicants that you will make a decision by Friday. On Tuesday, you have an interview that knocks your socks off, but you still have 2 interviews left. Do you just say Fu@k it!!! Cancel the rest! Or do you stay with the process you have started, and see it through???

I swear, most of the comments on here are from people who have never hired anyone... Successfully...

Seems weird to me. I think a recruit would be spooked by hearing from an AD whom they don't know. Why can't Justin Green contact them. By the way, did UM or some school a number of years ago, tell recruits with schollie offers that the school would honor the schoolies, and then the new coach came in and withdraw some of the schoolies. Can't recall where/why I had heard that.

Perhaps it's not indecisiveness. Perhaps he just doesn't have time to finish the hiring process, because he is spending so much time responding to every email from every Tom, Dick and Harry. Heard he was getting a lot. Hope he's not going to go with the chatter from the masses, and ignore all the big boosters and former NFL and other players, as well as common sense.

Why can't Justin Green contact them.

Is this really difficult to comprehend? Because a recruit (read, "parents") know with certainty that Kent will be at UM next year to honor a commitment to a scholly. They don't necessarily know that about Coach Green. I know a few recruits parents; I can assure you they are reassured that the offer is safe.
