Re: New Discussion Thread on Possible Coaching Changes...
I listened to that Phil Savage interview. He sounds like someone who knows that a possibility realistically exists that ends with CNS changing his state of residence. Well, DUH. We all know that, right? None of us is in such denial that we don't understand that now would be the time for CNS to make his departure if he's going to do so.
What NO ONE knows for certain is just how CNS arranges his priorities. What WE may think of as a logical order of priorities, he may not. Why are we spending so much emotional energy fretting over something that MIGHT, but also MIGHT NOT occur? Worse yet, why are there actual Tide fans who seems so shocked that this could occur? This is the man's JOB, plain and simple. He doesn't love the university the way many of us do. How could he? He doesn't have the level of sentimentality we do about it to cloud his reasoning. He is a professional and he is weighing his options like all professionals do when they consider how they wish to evolve (or not evolve as the case may be). It's actually a smart thing to do - take time to think over one's options, rather than make a too-quick decision. Heck, it took me nearly two years to come to a decision about my career (leaving private practice and going into an employed position). Why shouldn't it at least take him a matter of weeks or even months?
