re: Another OC just turned down texas...Tulsa's Sterlin Gilbert

It's a collective shitshow for sure and Charlie didn't do himself any favors with his initial hirings but it seems to me like the terms of a contract would have more to do with the administration than it would with Charlie.

Here's a snippet from what Nahlin had to say:

Texas would prefer the illusion of support rather than actually supporting Strong. The BOR is dragging its feet with Gilbert like with Cumbie. Whoever leaked the terms for Cumbie (and it wasn't Strong's camp) are gumming up negotiations with other candidates.

Basically, because the political cost of firing Strong was too great we're left with something that looks like this, something worse.
