Message: [QUOTE="boog7, post: 486494, member: 809"] Despite your alleged "good intentions" Mr. Kaopectate, not only are u being an unnecessary ball-buster, you're being an unintelligent one (nothing personal against you, of course). boog7 said: [URL='http://syracusefan.com/goto/post?id=486108#post-486108']↑[/URL] [INDENT=1]I am NOT assuming our recruits were told of this hiring in advance b/c I'm not assuming he's being hired[/INDENT] [INDENT=1] [/INDENT] So how does "[B]And since [U][I]I'm sure[/I][/U] Allen and Wilson were told of his possible hiring[/B]" fit with your claim that you aren't assuming the recruits were told? Maybe it started with the OP, but it "I'm sure" you agree with it... I'll go slow for you. I am simply assuming that the two QB recruits were told that there were some candidates being considered to replace Hackett as OC, whoever these candidates might be. And I'm assuming that they were told these candidates names and were given their bios and backgrounds, again, whoever they might be. And therefore, I'm also assuming that given this information about these potential OC's, the QB recruits must have approved of these candidates because they have, in fact, decided to honor their commitments to SU. And this passage from an article in the Daily Orange now validates my assumptions: [I](Zach) Allen and Hackett spoke on Tuesday, Allen said, and [B]Hackett told him the program is looking at two new offensive coordinator candidates who will run the same offense Hackett ran.[/B][/I] [I][B]The two candidates under consideration are outside the current coaching staff,[/B] Allen said.[/I] [I]“He said they’re really fired up, real intense, always just wanting the players to be better,” Allen said of the two offensive coordinator candidates Hackett told him about, [B]“and that’s someone I can play under every day.”[/B][/I] boog7 said: [URL='http://syracusefan.com/goto/post?id=486108#post-486108']↑[/URL] [INDENT=1]I am NOT assuming these recruits approve of this hire b/c I never assumed he was being hired.[/INDENT] [INDENT=1] [/INDENT] Maybe its me, but when you say "[B]they[U][I] obviously approve[/I][/U] as well[/B]" are you talking about the possible hire that you aren't making assumptions on? Now follow me here, Mr. Kaopectate. When a person is a candidate for a job, it means that they could [I]possibly[/I] be hired for that job. I'm sure you get that. So when I referred to them "obviously approving" his [B]possible[/B] hiring, I was only referring to them obviously approving the OC candidates that they were told about, coaches who [I]could[/I] -- here's that word again -- [I]possibly[/I] be hired. And in this particular thread, we were simply speculating about Alex Van Pelt being one of those candidates who could [I]possibly[/I] be hired. Comprende? But never once did I suggest, submit or assume that AVP was, in fact, a confirmed or hired candidate. Nor did I attempt to "throw around" any rumor along those lines. I only proposed -- and now the Daily Orange article confirms it -- that at least one of our QB commits does in fact approve of the OC candidates they were in fact told about, whoever those yet-to-be-disclosed individuals happen to be. But guess what, Mr. Kaopectate? You win this pissing match (hooray) b/c I'm done with it. Now you can really just focus on cleaning up all that diarrhea. Enjoy. [/QUOTE]
