Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 2166253, member: 127"] There were more but discretion and intelligence prevent him from disclosing any previous discussions. Places that put out feelers and offers don't like publicity being turned down especially if they did it before the sitting coach was officially dismissed. JB has had them too but again, being in the business, professionals don't reveal info that college programs, NBA teams etc don't want publicized. Not a good look and pretty short sighted when a coach tries to puff himself up by publicizing who he's shot down. Some colleges will actually fire coaches who publicly look elsewhere for offers (BC etc) so it's usually "unofficial, official" feelers. Sometimes an agent will "secretly" disclose it after the fact to ramp up more interest but that can be a dicey move too. [/QUOTE]
