Yes. Basically tweeting out things like "this changes everything" "I can't believe I woke up to this news and have to go through it again" "it is going to be a loooong day"Originally posted by smokymountainrain View PostWhen you say they are "jumping ship on twitter", does that mean they are going on twitter and saying they will not be playing football at Boise?
The problem is Boise recruits are not elite for the most part. This late in the recruiting season a lot of these kids will be left scrambling.
I hope Tanner Shipley is happy.

Seems to be the status quo for coaches. Deny everything up until the minute you jump ship. Of course, that's the same with pretty much any other job change.Originally posted by cougjunkie View PostPeterson told commits last night he wasn't leaving. Now they are all jumping ship on twitter.

But what's the best way to handle that? When players/recruits ask him if he's staying, what does he say without letting the cat out of the bag?Originally posted by Moliere View PostSeems to be the status quo for coaches.

That why I said it's pretty much the same with any other job change. It's what I would do as well...but unfortunately most people (including the press) aren't asking me if I'm thinking about taking that new lucrative accounting position across townOriginally posted by scottie View PostBut what's the best way to handle that?

If you're really concerned about being honest, but also concerned about not letting the cat out of the bag and they ask you if you are leaving, you don't say "no" and flat out lie, you leave open the possibility that yes, there is a chance you might be leaving. That way you don't let the cat out of the bag and you avoid a barefaced lie.Originally posted by scottie View PostBut what's the best way to handle that?

No you don't. You deny until you sign on the bottom line. Why would you say maybe to some 17 year old high school kid so he can tweet that and cause an unnecessary shitstorm that has the potential to cost you millions of dollars? The coaches don't owe these players anything. On the flip side, I wish the NCAA would allow kids who signed LOI's to leave elsewhere if their HC leaves or is fired.Originally posted by smokymountainrain View PostIf you're really concerned about being honest, but also concerned about not letting the cat out of the bag and they ask you if you are leaving, you don't say "no" and flat out lie, you leave open the possibility that yes, there is a chance you might be leaving.

Exactly, that's what I meant by not letting the cat out of the bag. The only way a coach can possibly stay honest his whole career is if he stays at that school until he retires (e.g., LaVell, and I wouldn't be surprised if Bronco ends up the same).Originally posted by Surfah View PostNo you don't.

I said if you're concerned about being honest. In your scenario, your concern is millions of dollars.Originally posted by Surfah View PostNo you don't. You deny until you sign on the bottom line.
