šŸ€ Tony Bennett Retires, Ron Sanchez to be Interim HC

Yes - Tony said Ron got him on-board with NIL at the donor meeting in Florida this winter (in February after the VPI game)…

Everybody knows we’re not getting Ament right? I know we have fun posting about it but… I mean everyone knows yeah? Kid already signed a shoe-deal and is being pursued by multiple blue bloods. It is done.

Tony Bennett wasn’t getting Ament, but the Sanchez era has just begun…

I can delude myself all day.

Back in the Bennett era, I didn’t think so. But I’ve really liked the Sanchez era approach to recruiting (that I’ve fabricated in my head).

But my earnest take is that we can be a factor.** I really think we can. That is – if we want to. And I didn’t really think Tony wanted to play that kind of game. But Ron is not Tony. He’s at least a different human being with a different brain, so we shall see…

** choosing this term carefully - not front runner, not back-up, but factor…

For me, this makes us more, not less likely. I don’t want to fall into the ā€œrich people HATE making more money!ā€ trap, but the $$ schools will be throwing around will at least be in more of a context.

i understand those allegations but what he’s done at mcneese state is incredible and he’s only 41…. a man can only dream

He’s probably leaned too hard into his outlaw rep to be palatable to the types of people he’d have to be palatable here. And even then, I’d worry he’d be the rare guy to try to parlay our job into something bigger, like a blue blood, or an SEC school that would double his salary.

He’d be hated by our donor base more than likely, complete opposite kind of guy that appeals to them. Good coach but not a good fit for our program in my opinion.

There’s a better chance I’d be named coach

Kentucky fans think they’re getting everyone at all times. Pretty sure they tried to get me at one point.

They have an open scholarship and are gonna fantasy book all the options at their disposal to fill it before the season starts. My guess is we don’t see any movement from our roster until next offseason, then all bets are off the table.
