I have no source or credibility but it sounded like he just started calling people after he got the job.

What about this new GM position? No other school has this. What is his role.

Special assistant to the coach. I'm sure he's not doing anything too critical but still, how the hell do you pick the local radio guy that stutters and follows 18 yr olds Twitter all day?

Is this a recruiting violation now if he does this? Speaking about recruits

The Prince and Coach O are very close. He was asked by Coach O if he would want to be his personal assistant. That is a position you can't turn down. The radio will always be there for him.

He's boys with coach

Coaching is a more stable field that media


If you wanna dive into conspiracy, you could argue that he was Os mouth piece that got the narrative out there that coach O wanted and was rewarded when he was promoted. House of cards style

The real question is who fills in for him on tMorning Drive? Hunt Palmer? Jordy and Derek are great together.

Didn't he help coach get his job? By pumping him up on the radio?

So this guy is the journalist guy, right? The name sounded familiar when O called him out in the presser, but I assumed I was incorrect.

I am also interested in this assignment.

That's incredible he gets that opportunity, like winning the lottery. Coach O must really value their freindship.

Prince is now a flunke for O. Derek has connections and it will help take some of the strain off of him. It's not a bad decision to add a guy that has the ear of the fan base.

I'm not really trying to minimize Derek's role because I really think it will help the program and O.

Don't be fooled, O is coaching to keep this job and he is trying to surround himself with the right people to help him do that.
