I detest PHLEGMson more than anything anywhere, but when a kid commits to their football program he clearly understands that his recruitment is over and that he will not make other visits to or talk to the coaches of other schools or their scholarship offer will be revoked. That is smart. Our coaches give kids a one way commitment - we commit to them so they have a Major Div 1 spot all locked up but they are still free to shop around just in case they get a better opportunity. The way we conduct business associates no value to recruits - they might as well commit to us. Why not? They aren't committed to anything and there are no consequences to them if they shop around. Arden Key and seven other players decided to jilt us just in the last recruiting class. Who replaced them? JUCOS and misfits for the most part. This policy needs to change. With every single coach a kid talks to warning them about our coaching staff instability, you can bet there will be flips.
Frankly, Steve Spurrier has no boss. Our Athletics Dept has no boss - just an ex baseball coach who cowers in fear of the OBC. His balls are all drawn up into his lungs by now he's so timid. I've already stated before that our recruiting is going to be tailing off every year. Kids will flip because of the uncertainty of Spurrier's future and that uncertainty is going to grow, not fade. No succession plan is in place.We're going over Niagara Falls without even a barrel. Meanwhile Tanner just sits back with his toothy grin going "yuk yuk yuk...wuddo I do boss? Huhhhh?" Baseball's getting clobbered by every team in the state and losing home conference series.... "UHHH yuk yuk yuk.... wuddo I do boss?"
And this is the sick pattern that has repeated itself over and over ad nauseum over the last 60 years. Our Board of Trustees have no accountability for their decisions so they feel free to hire goofballs like King Dixon orTanner who have absolutely no credentials to run this program because they think Spurrier is a God and they want an AD who won't rock the boat with him when what we need a hardboiled, independent thinking AD who is every coaches boss and who is responsible for making tough decisions in the best long term interests of the program. That is simply not happening.
