listened to the podcast and pretty striking to hear a few things:
- Sarge indicating he wouldnt bet on Hobbs and GS working together. In essence didnt see it happening.
He seems to be around the program a lot and has more actual interactions than those here. Thus, him saying he Can’t see Hobbs and Gs working together speaks volumes about Hobbs to me. Why should this even be an issue? Shouldn’t be who is the best person for the program not the best person for the AD
-The administration being taken with Nunzio and that he will absolutely be given every opportunity to get the job by getting a few wins.
This would be in keeping with the scuttlebutt about Hobbs that he wants someone who he can control and wants to be given credit for finding a non-obvious choice. I think Nunzio has done a very good job so far in portraying stability to the extent you can and has been good ambassador and I would give him a long look for the off coordinator. That being said at this pt in History a first time head coach has never been a coordinator and has recently out of high school is not what is needed.
- all the talk about different candidates you can do some of what “greg used to be able to do “
It’s somewhat funny to hear all the descriptions of candidates in light of them being able to do a subset of what Greg used to be able to do. While Politti is on record indicating that it makes sense at this point in time for GS and that the arguments against him such as not beating West Virginia are out right silly, the tenor of the podcast is that there is no movement towards GS at this time and that it will take the former players, alums or a big donors to rally Hobbs towards that. It seems he’s looking for any way but GS. And if Greg’s interest is waning it doesn’t appear that Hobbs is in anyway trying to convince or recruit him but would be very satisfied in telling the faithful that Greg wasn’t interested
