Why? Cliff is a former assistant…maybe they have the same agent, maybe not…but Paul’s name can be coverage to let Cliff work out the negotiating while everyone runs down the Maineri angle.

Totally makes sense.


Still doesn't make sense. They don't need "coverage."

If they wanted to go after Godwin, they would.

I have received 2 phone calls today from people in the industry. They were asking me if it was true as they are being told it is. This does have some legs to it so it will be interesting to follow.

It's coming from a very reputable reporter.

This isn't like random twitter guy making things up.

Have you ever followed a coaching search? There’s always a smokescreen…always.

if they are talking to him it's likely to get his opinion on someone because at his age I can't see him coming out of retirement to deal with NIL and portal

he all but delegated recruiting to Nolan Cain at the end of his tenure at LSU

This is the Ron Polk to Georgia. Doubt there will be a ton of success.

Don't tell SC that. Let them find it out for themselves. Hire Paul.

Ron Polk took UGA to Omaha in year 2 and left to go back to State the next season

Because his resume is really good.

Personally i dont think itll go very well, but i also think he got way too much criticism here.

He can probably keep south carolina okay. But okay there gets you fired. The transfer portal and recruiting, itll be interesting to see how he adapts to all of that. My guess is itll be a mixed bag, but never elite

That’s completely unnecessary.
