Exactly man if he was going into a football roll he would be the one with the final say for OCWhy would they hire Highsmith AFTER the OC search instead of having his input? This is a sham. Fire Blake James
It's the "spread coast" of athletic department positionsThe whole idea is so ******* stupid in the first place. A “chief of staff?” What does that even mean?
You're also being riled up by a Barry Jackson report, a reporter known to have bad sources. Let it play out.
Alonzo said if he leaves the NFL, it's to move down to Florida. It'll get sorted.
Can somebody get Blake the FOH already?
Blake James need to go,
So now this mf wants to look at other candidates
Alabama has a Director of Football Operations.i dont care if alonzo comes or not. The idea that blake james admitted he is thinking about hiring a “chief of staff” on the radio today is one of the dumbest things in recent memory. The guy cant hire anyone to run the football program so he is out there..trying to hire someone to run the football program correctly.
you cant make this up.
LOL why is that? What has Zo seen that thousands of Canes fans haven’t?
This reminds me of the Clappy situation when he fired almost every assistant and was stuck with hiring Rich Olsen. We all know how that turned out now don’t we and Clappy had a ring.
So people who lambasted James for not doing a proper search are now criticizing that he wants to do a search for, potentially, his most important hire to date, if what Barry's reporting is accurate? I know some of you want to have it both ways, but you really can't.
Don't go losing your mind over every rumor. This is likely going to happen, but as in any negotiation, there's grandstanding and negotiation ploys that occur first before an agreement is made.
Per TOS there are factions among those that are making decisions. People care and there's money..... Don't think it has anything to do with Highsmith keeping Manny. (seems like Manny is staying no matter what) .... More like whether to make this position happen with Highsmith or the scope/authority of the job... It's mind boggling how much power Blake James seems to have over this whole process....
Supposedly those that care and have the $$$ don't have any real power ...
Alabama has a Director of Football Operations.
VT just hired a Chief of Staff. As did FSU.
Schools are moving this way to have someone primarily in charge of football since it is such a mass revenue generating sport.
Coker was forced to hire Olson as OC, Coker's first choice was the dipsh!te Todd Berry. UM vetoed Coker's buddy Berry as OC.
And you know this how?
Blake James takes it in the *** from his tranny wife.
