Hood - has he even hinted at leaving?

[jb1020]

This is a rare morning for me to listen to Bo Bounds, but according to him Hood practically has his bags packed?

Is this just Bo's schtick and he's stirring the pot? Sensationalizing things? Hood doesn't seen like a guy that would jump ship, but what do I know.

The possibility has been discussed in several forums, not just state forums.

the players and parents were not contacted until late in the process during the search. That did not sit well the Hoods or the Steeles. They were just wanting Stricklin to let them know how it was going, and a possible timeline for the hire. Scott also did not return numerous phone calls from several players and parents, so it did cause some anger and agitation. Scott did call them early last week and communicate the timeline for the hire to be made. Now the big question is can Ray keep the everybody happy, current players and signees/recruits.

talked about it, the possibility of a transfer is there if they aren't happy with the coach. But Ricky has also been in contact with Stricklin several times during the coaching search. I'm sure after hearing that interview that Rodney will be on board when all is said and done. Ray answered a lot of questions and answered them to my liking during that interview. Most importantly having to rerecruit our current players and keeping the signees we have in the fold. If he can do that, he's done a great job. If he somehow can land Pollard, it would be an outstanding job.

that he'd been in contact with Scott several times during the search. Where did you get this from? I can find the link to my proof.

that Hood had heard from Stricklin. Now from last Monday night until now they HAVE probably spoken several times which is good. If Hood leaves Steele could be leaving too. Ray has his hands full to say the least, but if he's a good recruiter and an x and o guy then he should be able to keep everybody around.

and that Ray will ease their warranted concerns. I think Ray's harder job is gonna be getting Gray and Sword back onboard. From all accounts, Ware, Thomas, and Harwick are still in. Gray has made it perfectly clear his intentions and Sword has made a few statements that have me worried as well. Let's hope our new coach can sell himself enough and where he wants our program to go that he can keep them all in the fold. Get them all back then put the full court press on Pollard.

Oh, and I reread my post. I didn't mean to sound as assholish as it did. I really just wanted to know where you got your info.
