Someone on Twitter said in the interview James did, that this COS position would "answer to Manny" (paraphrasing). Can anyone who heard the interview confirm? That would put a damper on the optimism

Would highly doubt Alonzo would answer to Croqueta.

Would highly doubt Alonzo would answer to Croqueta.

I wouldn't put the incompetence of hiring a football only AD and having him answer to a lame duck head coach past anyone currently at Hecht.

Yes he said he would be a guy Manny wants.

So he says he'd answer to Manny?

Correct

 

[ChoadCane]

Correct

Lmao. Jesus Christ. **** this I'm out

This literally can’t be happening.

Waaaay to good to be true. Highsmith has to be going to Bama as a Consultant.

No way this BOT can’t actually be getting this right.

Where are you going?

 

[Lokest]

He gotta answer to manny

*** this place

If it happens, James isn’t doing it bc he wants to. He’s doing this bc if he doesn't, he won’t be employed much longer. Good way to save face all around.

A guy that's climbed the ladder from a scout to VP of Player Personnel for the Packers and Browns, UM legend, and 30 years around the NFL. Nah. pass. No room here for a guy that's evaluated talent for 25 years at the highest level, talked with and observed every legitimate college program in the last decade, and built relationships and inroads with hundreds of coaches at every level.

They don’t understand how Highsmith makes a difference with connections alone. And I’m not even mentioning his evaluation skills. He can get the best dudes period.

1.) Like many have already said, I doubt he would take this job if he would have to answer to Manny.
2.) But if I am wrong and that is the case, then I rather him just not even take the job. What's the point? It could be a potential disaster if everything has to go through/by Mandy.

But if he calls all the shots, it could be huge. Lets hope, because I am hopeful what his first move would be ...

 

[Turin]

Sorry guys

Why does this make us better?

 

[1LuvCane]

Hightower went from transfer WR to running the football team. Wow! Lmao

He owes it all to the wonderful tutelage of his uncle...

 

[Mnhurricane]

Ferman wasn’t wrong

If he hits on this I might even stop calling him sperman for a little while

 

[ChoadCane]

Where are you going?

Idk man lol. This is too depressing and unbelievable. Just when you think they're seeing the error of their ways, this is what we get. Let's hire another yes man. That'll fix it.

 

[Salt]

Pass on Mario. If it happens let Highsmith run the football program and show Manny how to do it.

Can't see Highsmith making any kind of big changes until he gets time to settle in and do a complete assessment of program. Can only do that once inside. Not like he can do that on first day like some people would like.

 

[NicKane]

Why can’t we bring in a new qualified AD?

Bro your like rain man with this on both threads! Lol

 

[Cribby]

Not sure if they’re ready for somebody this alpha and actually knows a lot about the game, scouting and personnel.

 

[CIS_troll_killa]

I think we’re jumping the gun here let’s just wait and see what actually happens.

That wasn’t even a top concern right now in the interview James said that an OC was our first priority and that he’s runs the spread
