Nah that's true, but my defense is that I only post when I disagree or feel the need to clarify something so my posts always slant in one direction. I don't think what Lane did was right, but all I'm saying is I understand why he did it. It's just another layer of perspective; not saying everyone else is wrong.Originally Posted by 5am6oody72
Not to sound like a douche, but I really can't seem to ever recall you NOT explaining away/making excuses for anything Lane/your program does/has done. If you have and I'm wrong feel free to call me out on itOriginally Posted by after h0urs
You guys serious with this stuff? Common courtesy? If CLK fails at SC, he is DONE. With his rep, he's not sniffing another elite job for a long time. You're telling me he was supposed to call Jeff Fisher and tell him that he's stealing his RB coach a week before training camp? What do you think Fisher would say? "Hey Lane, thanks for being so considerate with the call, go right ahead and take one of my most important position coaches." Come on nowOriginally Posted by tmay407
People aren't disappointed/upset about Kiffin going after Pola. They're disappointed/upset about the way Kiffin handled it.
If you're targeting another team's assistant coach (Pola), it's common courtesy to alert the head coach of that team (Fisher) of your interests. Don't call the head coach a day after you get a call of acceptance from the assistant
You especially don't do something like that in a profession like coaching, where there's such a strong fraternity of members.
You guys don't realize how fragile this situation is right now. This recruiting class is heavily linked: DeAnthony Thomas is teammates with Marcus Martin, god-brothers with Victor Blackwell, and close friends with Max Wittek and Antwuan Woods. You even lose one of those guys and it can have a domino effect and kill the class. SC can't afford to be recruiting mediocre classes with only 15 scholarships per year.
Like I said before, it was a snake move 100%, but it was also a NECESSARY move.
