Where he said "I hate recruiting" or "I'm never going to coach in college again"? Ranters seem to pretty defiantly say this but no one posts any actual links with quotes.

You will not find the quotes “hate” or “never”, but a quick google search will provide a few articles about him stating it’s his least favorite part of the job in college and that he is looking forward to not having to deal with it in the pros.

No, and you won’t find any quotes to that specifically. Brady did express frustration when he was stiffed by a recruit on a S FL trip and hated that he wasted a day for a non meeting.

Brady also connects well with everyone, and has he stayed Caleb Williams is in BR.

The biggest challenge for Brady was reporting to O. I can imagine what a shock to the system that was after years in Sean Payton’s system. Sean ran off O too after a year of O distracted with too many cell calls with Kiffin and the Rock when he wasn’t performing his duties.

I must suck a Google then. I see a few quotes from unnamed staffers or writers saying things like "it's no secret Brady didn't like recruiting" but nothing directly from Brady (even without the "hate" or "never qualifiers". Would like to see if someone can actually find something that is definitive.

I'm not sure why he would go on record when he was a coach at LSU and say "I hate recruiting". It was reported from people who knew him.

quote:
The realities of recruiting hit Brady hard not long after he joined Coach O’s staff. He told The Athletic last year “I’m learning it (recruiting) never stops….I’m just looking forward to having a few days in a row in the same place”.

That's the best quote you can find to indicate he'll never coach in college again because of recruiting? I'm sure recruiting is the least favorite part of coaching college football for a lot (most?) of coaches. I can't imagine it's always fun kissing high school kid's asses and playing recruiting games when most of these guys just want to coach football.

I didn't say any of that, so no? Again, he didn't give any direct quotes of "I fricking hate recruiting" because he would be an idiot to do so. There are endless reports that the dude doesn't like recruiting and prefers the NFL though.

I mean he left the chance to be the full OC here after winning a title for the same job in the NFL, what more do you want? Maybe he would be interested in being the HC in college, who knows.
