If the rumor is true, this doesn't even surprise me.
quote:We got played by Chavis. Apparently contacted Sumlin when he practically had the deal struck with Durkin.
so does anyone have an idea what the Tarp article says?
quote:
Sumlin doesnt care about defense
quote:
So now he's being bashed for trying to hit a HR. Awesome
quote:He would get bashed if he had hired Durkin and ignored Chavis's outreach, no matter how fishy it may have been.
He's being bashed for getting played.
quote:sorry, likely a bit overstated desperation. It is more likely that they could tell that someone is susceptible to getting played.
So where does the fear come in?
quote:Sumlin may have had suspicions but if he did not respond to the lsu ploy, then he would have gotten so much **** on not only this board but from the BMAs. Should he have handled it better? Possibly, but he may have thought it was honest interest in the position. It was a sleazy trick from a POS staff from a POS school from a POS state. Now he needs to learn from this and hire the right DC.
It is more likely that they could tell that someone is susceptible to getting played.
quote:This is the SEC and they are from lousiana. I could totally believe it, especially with mack leaving as fast as he did. It was too well orchestrated.
LSU fans don't believe that Chavis would do that. They think it is totally made up by 247.
