Baydawg and excellent post!
I completely agree with the notion that Satan induced KS to stay, perhaps financially as well as due consideration and recollection to his career path, past and present! Likewise, we didn't \"officially\" present CKS with an offer until recently and I do believe KS gave it the full measure of consideration. KS didn't leave us hanging, we weren't backslapped, nor do I believe any \"term sheet\" was signed, then reneged.
Bama just won the NC!!!! KS was and is in the drivers seat where employment offers are concerned. Was it not KS that was mentioned for the TT HC position? CMR stated that he was going after the best person for the job. So far, he has. None of the names mentioned or offers made would have been poor hires for CMR. And it IS true, the seat upon which CMR sits has begun to warm. I'm certain that those names mentioned thus far have factored in career growth and longeviety when considering the offer.
Don't get me wrong, I hate like hell that we've publicly sought and came up short on the list thus far. But that's not CMR's fault, its the day and age that we live! From breaking news to ridiculous rumor, information moves at speeds never before imagined. However, it means more to us because we are intimately involved and aside to the schools from which we've attempted to \"loot\", the concept of UGA's need for a DC is not headline material, at least not until we are successful in landing a big name!
CMR needs to continue his search with big name/big impact in mind. If we get to the point that we appear to be settling; aka: Jim Donnon, then we will have a great deal more to discuss regarding the future of our program.
GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
