Miles Bridges tweet

Fred leaves and if Otz is the guy(I don't think this will happen btw) Otz hires Grayer as assistant lessening the sting a little and Bridges is ours.

Grayer is the main reason Bridges wants to come here, for those worrying about Fred leaving and hurting our chances with him. Grayer is his mentor while Coach Mann and Monte maintain a close relationship with Miles (both from Flint). Miles and Monte tweet at each other all the time too, if you're into that sort of thing :-)

Even with all this, he's probably going to MSU.
 
Pollard is doing the hiring right? He has not exactly lit the world on fire other than Fred.


Yep. Agree. Love JP as fundraiser and his hard work toward making our Atheltic dept relevant facilities wise nationally but his hiring outside Fred(who was a once in lifetime gift) has been horrific. Lost Cael, prob losing Fred...CPR, McDermott....Chizik...etc..

Not good. I'll say this. The next 12 months will decide JP fate at ISU and that's not being dramatic. If Fred leaves this hire will be the most important hire in his tenure. CPR likely gets canned and that hire will be his 2nd most important hire in his tenure. Screw any of those two up and he gone.
 
Spit it out Obi Wan

Only other option if Fred leaves.

Based on who else is in his top 5 our odds are probably slim but damn I would love getting him. I feel like he would be Royce 2.0 in Fred's offense

If hiring Grayer gets us Bridges, then it's a no brainer IMO.... you hire Grayer.

Other teams are doing this kind of thing all the time. It's time we get in the ballgame.

ISU is the problem, not JP. If ISU had any sort of decent football tradition, JP's hirings would have been much better. An opinion, of course, as is everyone else's statements here.

Where to even begin....

Hindsight is 20/20. But at the time the Chiz hire was a strong one and quite the coup. And it even looked like CPR was an amazing hire in the first couple years. Actually, Fred was a "safe" hire and turned out to be far better than was suspected at the time. So I think people need to back the **** off Pollard's hiring.
 
Fred was in no way a safe hire. In fact, that was the definition of high risk with no experience.
