[QUOTE="Techster, post: 459829, member: 360"] I think GT and fans are giving CPJ a free pass on it. Here's the thing: Coaches and their agents usually use the media for leverage. In CPJ's case, no one knew about the UT job situation until months AFTER CPJ signed his contract and UT already had its coach. No one would have even known about UT and CPJ had it not been for a reporter filing an FOI request for the UT records. We live in the day and age of Twitter and social media, it's easy for an agent to put word out there to create leverage. You can't create leverage after the fact. Listen, I get it...I don't begrudge CPJ doing what he thinks is in his best interest. But a used car salesman isn't creating leverage after he's already sold the car. Given how highly publicised UT's search was for the whole nation, don't you think CPJ's interest to the media would have been an attention getter...especially if you're trying to create negotiation leverage? Also, keep in mind, it's one thing if it was UT reaching out to CPJ, it's a whole other thing when it's CPJ's side reaching out to UT. What if UT would have said "Heck yeah...we'll give you $1million more than what GT is paying you?" CPJ would look silly and unprofessional pursuing a job he didn't really want. CPJ may be many things, but I doubt he's the type to actively pursue something he doesn't want. [/QUOTE]
