Welp. It is what it is. We really don't know what happened. My guess is that AG listened to their offer and for whatever reason he chose not to do it, or he wasn't offered it.
My guess is that he pulled his name out based on whatever the offer was. It's also possible, and I said this the other day, that AG got the offer and decided to sit back with his family over a couple of days and decide if this was the right move for him. I mean this was his alma mater and dream job. He may have felt be owed it to them and his family to think it over for a few days. From a PR perspective it hasn't come across great but I still think he can salvage most of the recruiting class with some honest sit downs with these kids. He can tell them "look it was my alma mater and the job I always dreamed of having so I owed it to them to give it serious consideration with my family, but in the end I believe too much in what we are doing here at Miami and I'm committed to this program and so even though it was PSU, Im hanging tough because I feel we are in the cusp of greatness."
I think he can spin this to the kids and come out looking good over it.
The FANS is another issue though. I don't think he's going to give a big discussion over why he didn't take or get the gig. And even if he did turn it down, the guy obviously loves PSU and he will NOT embarrass them in any way. We may never know exactly what went down, but it's time to move on.
We need to salvage this recruiting class and hope things get fixed on defense
He's going to be our HC next year so let's hope for the best and keep the incessant *****ing under control.
