Trim - find the contract so we can look at any EMAW deets

Look at the bright side: if he fails at Illinois we can swoop in and grab their refuse again.

If brad can keep this incoming recruiting class he'll have a lot of talent to work with.

So we could have had him this off season after all?

Everyone knew we could have Brad if we were willing to spend a boatload of money. The real question was whether it would be worth it.

you're gonna spend a boatload of money on any decent coach.  you might get one bargain year on a budget hire, but you're not gonna retain anyone for under market.

I can't admire a guy who was obviously leaving way before this . I wonder how long ago this deal got done. Just like stoops Venables who mumped us in the big 12 champy.

You folks are so weird. Worse than the oscar lovers at times.
No way. You could make this argument if Brad went after the conference tourney or selection sunday.
When do you think all of this got done? Today? Good grief.

Leaving != getting the deal done. 

For all we know this deal was in the works weeks ago if/when there was a convo about re-working Brad's deal.  Too many variables that we probably wont ever know to make a decision.
As I recall Stoops left us in a much worse spot.  Maybe I'm wrong?

We could have had Brad for a small amount of money if Currie would have just fired oscar last year like he should have.
