re: It’s gotta be Title IX

I got a simple question regarding these coaching searches that are under a cloud of potential NCAA penalties. How much do they have to tell the coach looking at the job and how much do they tell the agent beforehand.

If you are a potential DC candidate as an SEC coach do you reach out to at least get the skinny on what LSU is looking at penalty-wise, so if you don’t really take that job but use it to get a raise you still have great negative recruiting ammo?

If you are a team under that type of cloud at what point do you tell candidates? To early and essentially it’s now common knowledge on the recruiting trail and will hamstring your recruiting, too late and coaches feel blindsided.

Without knowing that there is no telling how many coaches either declined before it ever got started out of caution or declined/informed LSU that they were not a fit.
