Extension Agreement

honestly, the smart move by Johnson and his lawyer is to slow play this to see how far GT goes this year

No need to worry about Nebraska.

It appears that Nebraska just hired Mike Riley of Oregon State. Looks like we can breathe a sigh of relief, but that doesn't mean the AA needs drag this process out unnessecarily.

Dang, beat me to it. My butterfingers couldn't finish the drill.

I cheated. Twitter let's me just click through without having to type much.

Mike Riley? That is a pretty underwhelming hire.

 

[Techster]

Mike Riley is a fantastic hire! And by fantastic I mean it's fantastic Nebraska didn't waste anymore of our time speculating about CPJ to Nebraska...

I thought abou Cook as well, but the experience at HC was what held me back, plus an undying love for Coach Monken.

If Monken can turn it around at Army, then he's a candidate. Ken Niumatalolo would be a candidate too; he has done a good job at Navy.

When PJ is done, Roof will be HC and Cook will be OC. We just need that Swagger that PJ carries around.

That swagger from PJ, hmmm, make him the AD then?

What we'll miss when Coach retires (let it be that) is his enormous experience with the O. He's seen every D known to man up against it multiple times in game situations. That's one reason why we are so good at making adjustments during the game, especially after the half. His disciples are good at that too, but nobody tops the master.

I freely admit that I'll miss that. I always know there's something in his brain that he'll spring at the right time (nobody knows better how to wait for that, imho). But with any kind of luck we'll have him around for years to come.

The coaches GT has had in the last 47 years have, except for Johnson, been coaches who saw the GT job as a way station on the road to a better place. Johnson, I believe from reading his comments, considers GT as his final home. I hope I am correct. No, I pray I am correct!

Soon.
