Jeff Traylor Question

[Hookem1393]

Did he turn down the Texas tech job in belief he’d have a shot at Texas or Aggy? Did he turn any other p4 jobs down?

He turned down Texas Tech ... but there was no way to know what would happen with NIL at the time. To the level of commitment by Cody C.

He turned down opportunities at ASU, Colorado, Purdue and 3-4 others.

Do you think he might've Matt Campbell'd himself but even worse being stuck in the G5 nightmare?

@Gerry Hamilton, just curious, were most of those HC positions?

Traylor and Kinne are obviously both great head coaches, but they both seem to have misestimated their teams' trajectories and experienced setbacks this year.  

(yeah, I know, haven't we all)

Is OSU really choosing Colin Klein over GJ Kinne or Jeff Traylor?

Oh yeah. He turned down HC gigs at ASU, Colo, Purdue, TT and 2-3 others 

G5 jobs are very difficult these days IMO. Your best players getting ripped on an annual basis. Not having a spring portal window should help G5 schools to keep from getting shredded in spring with no true chance to replace guys you love with guys you have to gamble on
