re: Jorge Munoz is still a candidate for PGC - Per O on Off the Bench

I really don’t get this.

If we wanted him why let him leave?

I would think accepting a job only to turn change your mind later would be frowned upon in the coaching world and would come back to haunt him.

He wasn’t an already established coach, so he doesn’t have the luxury of waiting it out. He wants to upgrade this year, so he had to sign with Baylor to secure the job.

If he truly wants to come to LSU, it still makes sense for him to accept that job for his. Own ability to move up the ladder. However, that doesn’t mean he will come back to LSU if offered, but it makes the most sense from his position.

Regardless, that stuff happens all the time, now.

difference is that the Miami HC position wasn’t already open when he left. Hell it wasn’t even rumored to possibly open up any time soon.

---

It’s also different in that it’s a head coach vs a WR coach. No one gives a shite. It’s a promotion for Munoz, no one would blame him for taking that.

all 3 parties (O, Aranda, Munoz) know each other quite well. Which is why i would have thought they all spoke prior to Munoz taking the Baylor spot. Just out of professional courtesy and respect for each ot

Things change.

he was announced at Baylor this past FRIDAY.

what has changed over the weekend?

quote:

---

seems as though Munoz would have communicated his desire for PCG (if he wants that particular position).
at which time O would have theoretically told him how strong of a candidate he might be for that gig.

---

But O didn’t tell him he had the job 100 percent and probably told him when they were going to start interviewing and make the hire. Meanwhile Aranda was offering a guaranteed job. If he waits for O’s answer then the Baylor job would be filled so I don’t blame anyone in the situation.

Aranda is trying to fill his staff and has the guy he wants.

Munoz wants a full time coaching position and Aranda is offering that now and O is telling him maybe.

O wants to take his time and make sure he brings in the right guy that may or may not be Munoz

quote:

don't you think that maybe that was a question Munoz would have asked prior to accepting a position on the offensive staff? Hell the two of them were officially announced less than 24 hours apart from each other.

---

I’m just throwing out possibilities. Neither of us know what he is thinking or what O is thinking. But to act like it’s outside the realm of possibility is silly.

Newsflash: Coaches LIE to the public/media. All of them do it. Especially when it comes to possibly taking a job prior to all of the i's being dotted and t's being crossed.

---

Yeah no shite. I’m glad you’re smart enough to figure that out. I’m suprised you haven’t been able to figure out that coaches are out to advance their own careers and if a better opportunity arises they may take it, even if they already took another job within the past few days

It's been less than 4 days.

What is the timeline you would need to say that things can change?

Things can literally happen over night man

To me, and I’m just reading between the lines, but it sounds like O is a little upset about how Aranda is digging around his staff. Imo something happened with Meatball & O May have taken it personal.

Not so much the idea that he’s taking guys. More along the lines of negations with Meatball. He was said to go Baylor, then back to LSU. He was Recruiting in California for LSU the day before he went back to Baylor officially. That’s fishy

O being open about Munoz coming back when his twitter avatar is already him in a Baylor uniform is fricking weird. O is never that open about anything especially when actually discussing specific names. To me it’s a big frick you to Aranda

I'm surprised that you honestly can't fathom that 3 men who were on the same staff a whopping two weeks ago probably spoke about this ahead of time.

3 men who by all accounts are very cordial and respectful of each other and had very good working relationships.

It's a whole lot easier to believe O is name dropping in the media because that's the name fans wanted to hear than it is to believe that this wasn't discussed prior to Munoz taking the job at Baylor. Because as you just agreed, coaches lie to the media.
