    Well looks like I might be wrong. Stoops, with Kendal Briles and Jim Leavitt would be filthy.

    Can't be a candidate when you're already hired.

    You have to give them something worthy of saying yes to.

    Getting them to say yes is the hard part. Everyone pays tons of money these days

    Who was our big competition when hiring coaches when we ended up with Butch and Pruitt?

    Seems like there really wasn't much when we settled for Butch.

    There doesn’t really need to be, does there? The money is such where big names just don’t move very often. I don’t recall any unemployed guys out there like Stoops is right now back then.

    We snatched Butch from the warm embrace of Colorado.

    would've been better than Butch, that's about all

    Well I really mention him as he was the big name at the time, we obviously wanted him, his salary meant he was attainable, minimal hiring competition, and yet... couldn't land him.

    Now that I think about it didn’t he change his mind or ask for 24 hours or something?

    Something like that happened. I believe a lot of us thought it was going to happen about a day or so before he said no. Seems like Dave Hart probably thought that, too.

    It's awfully convenient that he'd keep both coordinators and groom the young hotshot OC. Sounds almost like a fans fantasy.

    There’s a lot more involved than money. The people in charge haven’t cared about football succeeding for quite some time. You don’t hire [ddiapos] and Butch Jones if you give a shit about having a good football program. Other coaches realize that. At least Fulmer cares now. I’ll say that much for them.
