Here's the deal. You didn't hear him over promise one thing in that conference that I can recall in the recruiting end anyway. And that is because he's smart. he's not going to paint himself into a corner. he'll get his share of 4 & 5 star players. But where Billy really master's the game is getting guys who are underrated by the system & letting them work their tails off to prove they were better than the system ranked them. Those are the guys that make up the core of your whole program. The four & five start guys are the icing on the cake. The cake is the lunch pail guys.
But that's part of college sports: repeat, repeat, repeat. Focus on your message relentlessly, and repeat.
College players aren't dumb, but they're young. Hell, I'm an old man, and I have to repeat things to myself, and repeat mistakes, before I get it.
And anyway, I think Billy has proven his method.
Those risky 4th downs won’t be without pain in the SEC. Billy was extremely fortunate none costed us a game this year. We were missing the mark more often later in the season. Still I never said don’t.
Billy's gonna be fine. Those fans have gotten the best seal of approval you can get. When the fans from a coach's previous school speak as highly of him as we do, that is as high of a recommendation as a coach can hope for. If the fans are happy, the administration will be happy. Billy reminds me in little ways of a lot of great coaches. He has a little part Mack Brown, a little part Bobby Bowden & a little Nick Saban, thankfully not too much to me.
Billy’s gone. He is set for life. Not worried about him, more worried about the UL program and where it’s headed.
