Except that Drew has never once “publicly said that he turned the job down.” in fact, to my knowledge, he’s declined to publicly speak about this at all. Instead, the public has figured out what happened via other sources and means.
His post didn't age well. I was going to post that but you swooped in for the fact check. He may wish to argue with every other thread on this site.
“Will be landing shortly” means it still hasn’t happened.
Based on this and some of the other posts you've made, you might not be the best one to be explaining things.
I am unfamiliar with your book of work....but I am pretty much found directly over the target. Time will tell.
I normally don't get in the middle of these arguments, however it is all over the internet that Drew has passed on the UK job, by credible sources. Just because he hasn't announced it publicly yet doesn't negate the fact that it has happened.
allow me to explain. If you read my opening post and its title...I am making a general statement as to how PR works. I make no mention of Drew although you can infer that. From a PR standpoint and to keep your good will with your fanbase....whether offered or not....if you do not get a job you state that you DECLINED the job. If you had your family fly to Lex it is hard to deny that you were not in discussion.
This is clueless nonsense. No coach is gonna publicly issue a statement declaring that he declined another school’s offer if there never was any such offer. The other school would instantly expose the truth, and the ensuing fallout from telling such a blatant lie would be disastrous for the coach’s reputation and future prospects.
He made his statement that does not say that he was offered, declined, pursued etc.... That is a very good statement that says noting about where he was in the process. His family on a plane....says more than his statement.
LOL. So you know that he was? Wasn't? Candidate real or just internet chatter? Only Mitch (decision makers) and Drew know....but time will tell. Beyond that, with the rest of your post. You aint real smart..... I'll leave it at that.
Ha. I could make a lot of money if I know that. My hope...... Billy D or even Pitino. But I do not think that our AD would offer Pitino.
How can you say “Trust the process You will be happy.” If you don’t actually know?
Because I believe we have the best AD and a bag full of money. I trust/believe that we will be happy with the ultimate hire. Faith!!!
You nearly lost me at the bolded above, but I am VERY confident that UK will come out of this with a great coach.
No, I don’t either way. And I’ve never claimed that I do know for sure what has happened.
George Michael had Faith too…. He died of a heart attack at 53.
Good lord dude. Please read my OP and look for the word Coach. Athletics. Anything. I made a GENERAL statement as to how things work in the world of business, politics everywhere. Its classic PR advice. It is also topical with Drew. If you are publicly assumed to have been a candidate along with a couple others...and come up short, it is CLASSIC advice to get on top of the story and say that you turned THEM down. Stop digging. Its PR 101.
He freaking died...oh shit. Who knew. I am so sorry for the loss. Wasn't he in a truck stop bathroom at the time?
I can do that too if you need pointers. LOL.After reading the title of your post I am so relieved that you aren't going to give us the sex talk.
I would appreciate that. Three kids and I still don't all the ins and outs, so to speak. Hot dog in donut has gotten me this far.
Basically, mommy and daddy love each other very, very much. From this love, a white stork is notified of this love. An order is placed and 9 months later a happy bundle of joy is delivered into the newly prepared nursery by said white stork. True story.
