...before JS took the OSU job. A couple of Husky fans I know in Seattle notes there is chatter running around up there that the three coaches had a conference call to discuss OSU. Sounds like CP and GAG are good friends and one of them reached out to offer talking with JS. Interesting if true and curious what was discussed.
Anyone else hear this?

Does it make me a bad Beaver fan that I want to stop visiting this board because I don't recognize whose initials people are referring to? |

Why is this news? Of course JS would want to know everything he could about the situation there. How is Barnes to work for? What's your opinion of Corey Hall? What are house prices like in Corvallis? Who doesn't do every bit of research he can on a potential employer.
What impresses me about the story is the level of assistance CP gave JS. That guy is truly classy.
And I think you're the only one that uses the GAG joke. It's lame.

Sounds like a lot of internet nonsense. How would such a conversation become public knowledge? And, anyway, why would a candidate for the OSU job perhaps jeopardize his standing by making private contact with the hugely discredited and maybe somewhat crazy previous head coach? nah...I call BS. |

I think CP--as well as JSmith's previous bosses--have probably recognized him as a special coaching talent, knowing his ascension was just a matter of time. Luckily for us, that time was sooner rather than later. |

And, anyway, why would a candidate for the OSU job perhaps jeopardize his standing by making private contact with the hugely discredited and maybe somewhat crazy previous head coach? nah...I call BS. I find it more plausible. Pete is a mentor to Smith and having a conversation about what Andersen's pain points with the Administration were would be a productive conversation for Smith in terms of getting recon and developing a plan. Remember what was said about Smith: Everyone was blown away by his interview. Blown away by his preparation, his plan. This man is a meticulous planner, you don't think he reached out to Andersen for an honest assessment of what he's walking into? Especially if Pete has formed a friendly relationship with Andersen, I could see this easily being plausible - having CP act as the introduction between the two for the advice. Coaches do this a LOT. It's a small fraternity, considering there are only 65 of these P5 positions. By the way, I know we are all accepting this "Gary Andersen must have been crazy" as canon. I think that's a mistake.. Remember, Gary didn't just up-and-quit with no warning.. he wanted to leave 3 weeks earlier. It was a dumpster fire for sure, but I think the reasons why are more complex than just "Gary Andersen is crazy". “The worst thing to call somebody is crazy. It's dismissive. "I don't understand this person. So they're crazy." That's bulls%#t. These people are not crazy. They're strong people. Maybe their environment is a little sick.”
