Rocky Long

We should lock this thread before it goes off the rails. Figured if an announcement didn’t come by 5:15pm it wasn’t happening.

The matinee just ended. Fun has only just started.
 
So does that mean we called because we don’t actually have someone in mind for the position?
 
well, if the reports are true, he did more than just take Dino's call, he flew 2500 miles to meet with him.
“See, Rocky... we’re the only football team in the world that has three indoor facilities. We’ve got a level field that allows the defense to be even more aggressive. If you want to get back to coaching, this is the best place do it.”
 
interview at 8pm our time

And the conversation at home went..."Rocky, I love you and have followed and supported you in your career as a coach for over 4 decades but honey you are going to be 70 this year. We have great friends here. It's time for you to relax and spend more time with your family. Besides I'm not moving."

I doubt it was presented so nicely at the outset.

His wife has something to do with horses, probably enjoys life quite a bit at Del Mar. Be a lot of sacrifice involved there.

Just said if someone called him up and offered him an opportunity to just coach he would listen. Doesn't wanna deal with all the other responsibilities.

I guess Dino needed more from him? Who wants to start the Wade Phillips thread?

This thread was a ton of fun. Sounds like PeeWee Herman was involved. Talk about 19 pages of getting jerked around.

She could hang out with Olympic gold medal winner Beezie Madden here. JW should ask her to make a call on SU's behalf.
 
Feel bad for his coaches and new recruits. One is very late looking for a job and the other is stuck with a new Head Coach before they even get on campus
