Mrs. Hawg,

Sumlin appears to be a really likable guy in the coaching circles (explains his ability to pull in a very loyal Chavis from LSU), and part of this appears to stem from his loyalty to coaches. I don't know if firing Spav would hurt this image, but Rojo claimed that Sumlin still sees value in Spav and wants to retain him on his staff in potentially another role.

I think Sumlin is working to find one of his coaches another job.
I fully understand your POV here. One which I have great empathy for. Being a "good boss."

Having been a boss on many occasions, having to fire an employee that you like, love, feel compelled to help, have treated very well and bent over backwards to accommodate, isn't easy.

Coaching is a profession, and not one for the faint of heart, nor the indecisive. Not the way it works, and certainly not in today's environment. That kind of sentiment prevailing over doing your job gets you fired as a HC.

The Pottery Barn Rule. You keep the broken coach, you own it.

The same thing we've been saying. It won't happen until it's time.

When it's announced that no changes are being made, or that someone else has been hired, then you can gloat. Until then, just hot air.



Not gloating, I think he would be a great hire here even with the dumb ass bet i made.

I just don't believe the rojo guy, but bein wrong here would be a good thing.

My understanding is the announcement will be sometime on or before the SEC Championship game (if we are not in it, which at this point, looks like we have a tough road in front of us to make it). So, yes, definitely this year, and most probably in November or just prior to the SEC Championship Game for the additional PR buzz (as if that would be needed).

So spurrier wrote a note this week explaining he would volunteer coach at a high school only to have to explain a few days later what he really meant was I want to be an oc.

You left out the second part...

When I mentioned I may coach again, I meant possibly as a volunteer coach at a high school. After thirty years as a head coach, I positively know that my head coaching career is finished.

He said his head coaching career is finished.

He edited it to say it wasn't really smoke, just his personal take.

What happened to Rojo's post at the beginning of this thread? I feel as though I have read every page a few times and haven't seen this brought up. It doesn't say it was edited, the post has just simply disappeared.

Apologies if this is just about Germans bombing the moon.

EDIT: NM. It was likely a blank post all along. My mistake.

Sure sounds to me like it will be Spurrier. I would never have thought of it. Never. But he and Sumlin are friends. And I can't quite believe the OBC has lost it in the offensive department. A splash hire, that's for sure. That would also allow him to keep Spav on as QB coach and as the ace recruiter that he is, while having OBC around as a mentor and counselor/consultant in the QB department.
