I also hope its not true, but I think that if it is Pollard will get somebody good. Not sure who, but Im just assuming this based on the urgency of the situation!
Too bad. No one else out there excites me much. All the other guys remind me of Chizik two years ago or worse. I want someone who is young and hungry like Gill. Any coach you bring to Ames is going to have to work extremely hard in the first two years to establish a recruiting pipeline. Patterson is already a multi-millionaire so why would he work hard. Farley might work hard, but he's got a very limited base from which to draw upon. Sad day if this is true.
If he actually said "no", then not good for us. We could increase his salary more than 5x. Keep in mind that Chizik told JP TWICE that he had turned Auburn down. Until Jamie pulls that rabbit out of his hat, who knows what's going on....
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
I'm not asking for praise. Just to those who were going out and buying Gill t-shirts, I told them to keep their emotions in check!
Being excited about a potential coach candidate is no big deal. Why do people feel the need to tell people how to feel? I was excited about Gill as a coach but am already over it.
Gene Chizik was "not interested" very early in the process 2 years ago. This is the way Jamie Pollard plays ball. Buffalo shouldn't have to release any press releases if he isn't taking the job.
All media reports must be taken with a grain of salt. Although, I won't be crying if Gill doesn't take the job.
I would also be very happy with Patterson! I just cant fathom the possibility. He turned down KSU already and he was alum. Hes got it pretty good down there. Hell probly stay put til a big time program offers him down the road. Hopefully if this is true about Gill Im wrong.
