I'm just saying that we had two coaches take better jobs. I expect rivals to say that coaches are jumping ship. But my point is that if a recruit and his family believe that an assistant taking a Division I head coaching job and another taking a pay raise for the same job at the freaking University of Texas is "jumping ship," then they aren't too bright.
This gets into a little amateur sociology, but kids today are stupid. The ones that aren't completely stupid are enabled beyond belief. I spent more time with teenage relatives over the holidays than I wanted to, and I observed that they are stupid. I'm not talking about stupid as in cannot carry on an intelligent conversation about the price of tea in China. They can't find China on a map. The crazy thing is, I have two family members. One in seventh grade, one in eighth. Both straight A students. Neither one of them could give you back change if you gave them a $20 bill for a $7.67 bill.
And you know what? This is eventually going to creep into college campuses and make our degrees worth less. I have two family members that are a year away from being college graduates that I would not hire to mow my lawn.
And hell, I'm only in my early 30s. What has happened in the past 10 years?
But back to recruiting tactics, I hope like hell we're going in there and telling recruits that Houston Nutt makes freshmen dress in women's underwear while he takes pictures and says Giggity.
