[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 847402, member: 2299"] First, I doubt TStan did what the quoted post suggested. That would be a no win situation for him. If it didn't work out then his job is that much harder in luring a coach because no coach is going to want to coach under an AD who took that approach. If it does work out and the moves magically turn around the direction of the program, then he's just created animosity between himself and the head coach which would likely lead to either Collins leaving or putting pressure to change ADs. If Collins leave then you have the same situation as the above where you're fighting against that stigma you've created. And the alternative is basically being pushed out the door with that reputation which will make it harder to get hired. More likely it was a lot less hardball than the power fantasies people make up here and a lot more cooperative with maybe some leaked information to try and make Collins more amenable. That being said, it wouldn't surprise me if what has happened was part of the plan TStan had when making the hire to begin with. Not the specifics of how bad it has been but the general trend. It was going to be hard to lure any proven commodity at OC to come here to take on the project of transitioning from the option. So first focus on recruiting and then after a couple of classes bank on the recruiting yielding a roster that is more attractive to a higher potential OC. Defense is another issue. [/QUOTE]
