Message: [QUOTE="Sherman20, post: 3024206, member: 6357"] [I][/I] 100%. Once Hop became a head coach, everything came together. Now players he recruits know he’s the head guy making decisions about their playing time and college career. Before recruits might’ve connected well with Hop, but they knew JB was the one making the decisions. JB gave Hop a great opportunity and made his career. But Hop ran with it and then some. Hop’s a dynamic and charismatic guy that young players trust and connect with. He would kill us in a head to head recruiting battle, all other things being equal. I think Wildhack believed Hop would be a great HC, but Hop left because he couldn’t stomach being the guy to push JB out, once it became clear JB didn’t really want to retire. [/QUOTE]
