That's fine and I respect your take, but here's mine (regarding both)So let's take Briles for an example - You want the job - have interviewed for it and all the fans know it. Mario doesn't offer you the job in the end, well that sucks for him. How does he turn it around and make it a positive? Well you leak some info to try to get a raise, and to save face with your fans. Does that make him a horrible person?
T-Rob, well we all love him if he stays, even with his unsavory little antics but if he leaves now he is the scum of the earth and can never come back? How do we know he even wanted to leave? Maybe Mario told him his job security would be up to the new DC. In a case like that a person would take a job like Bama's. If that isn't the case and he is just bailing well then - **** him! Just my 2 cents.
Briles I'm not so much mad at as disappointed. Yes his agent did what he had to do in order to get his client a raise, but he's still doing it as of 5-10 min ago; that's just bad optics and someone that reeks of desperation. That's his choice, however.
T-Rob I can't defend; you can't be telling coaches and kids who believe you and trust you that you're not going anywhere, only to sell your soul and bolt less than 24 hours later. I mean Mario made a decision (allegedly) to retain T-Rob and settle their differences stemming from previous recruiting battles, and he still did this. That is some scum level ****, sweaty car salesman type demeanor.
