Getting weirder by the minute...supposedly Drew's contract negotiations with Vandy have hit a "snag" and he's come back to MBob asking for more money and they're talking again. Personally I'd tell him to F-off, but he may still come to Atlanta now. What a cluster...

"Asking for more money"?!?!? You gotta be fng kidding me!

What, did Vandy refuse to refer to him as 'Our Lord and Savior'?

No sir. no way. Now is not the time for foolish pride.

The upside is the search is in the shadows and there has been no public announcements by anyone so in reality not much face has been lost so far. And they are big boys so while it may bring some personal satisfaction to tell him to do something anatomically impossible, it is just bidnez.

If negotiations with Vandy hit a snag and he's coming back to us, shouldn't he do that with a pay cut and his tail between his legs, and not be asking for more money?

Excellent point. Really, outside of the diehards, there hasn't been much attention paid to this search. If we come out the other side with a hire that most people like, it really doesn't matter what happened behind the scenes to get there. But, I don't want to get my hopes up....

Not sure what to believe at this point with regard to Drew, TBH. So much national spotlight on the Drew to Vandy situation that I find it difficult to believe Vandy would let minor items or a little more money get in the way of completing the deal. No offense, but our "inside sources" have been off the last 2 yrs when it comes to GT MBB.

Would be SHOCKED if Drew isn't the Vandy coach at this point.

How long until fans learn not to trust every random thing thrown out on the internet? Who am I kidding, that'll never happen.

 

[gameface]

So he wants more money. Is this so he can save face in his attempt to come back to Tech? He wants to say Tech lured him back.

 

[BigDaddyBuzz]

Drew is all Vandy. Don't get your hopes up.

It's usually the thing the WANT to believe and are grasping for re-assurances. The media knows this and plays to it. Difficult to suppress when dealing with extreme fanhood.

Reverse psych?

Nope. when there is no information, misinformation will always fill that void because we just can't accept feeling like we are totally in the dark (which we are)

We damn sure better be looking at other candidates while we talk to him if this is true. Can't afford to get mud on our face twice with the same guy.

To add to that, some fonts are beginning to take information gleaned from here, there, and everywhere, and put their own spin on it. That is distorting everyone's view and adding fuel to everyone's anger over the situation.

I'm not trying to knock GlennW, but he has no idea what has gone on behind the scene, yet he is speaking as if he is BD's agent. I'm just saying that we need to pump the brakes, take a deep breath and let things play out.

Then we can all jump off the cliff together if ends up being someone we have never heard of. Get on the phone Mike Lonergan

Edit: kg..my bad, I thought I was replying to Glenn's post.

Good thing that you aren't the AD.. Supposedly that bravado of don't talk to Vandy is what got us here.

He needs to regain control of the negotiation for sure, but at this point, he needs to do whatever is needed to make the deal happen.

 

[SteamWhistle]

Sign him TODAY.

Well, to be fair, I'm setting fire to everything. I'm just pissed and checked out all at the same time.

My rational side agrees with you though.
