I'm not saying they don't have solid sources at T I'm saying they don't have solid sources at Bentonville.

 

Why do they need a source at Bentonville if they have a source at T? It sounds like they haven't even narrowed down who the candidates are so it's completely plausible that he withdrew his name.

Lives close to, son plays for, and friends with the AD of the school......guess maybe I'm a bit closer then just a resident of the area lol. But as one other poster stated, always two sides to every story. Each side will spin it how they want. I cant see a coach coming out of an interview saying the school didn't want him. That would be plain silly.

Agreed. A lot of this could be over a phone call, realize its not a good match, and gracefully decline on both ends. Happens all the time.

Sorry, I don't know anything about you or your connections but I know at least one of the connected guys and I probably know the other one. I was just saying that they weren't any less connected than you.

How about this:

 

Bentonville: Coach Beatty, we have a lot of very qualified coaches but we want you.

 

Coach Beatty: I will take the job under these conditions.

 

Bentonville: Coach, we can't go that high.

 

Coach Beatty: I understand, best of luck.

 

Coach Beatty: Get me USA Today's email address

 

Bentonville: Coach Beatty is no longer a candidate and we are narrowing it down.

 

Coach Beatty secretly: This was the deal, I would have went but they couldn't match...

 

Bentonville secretly: No we haven't offered it to anyone...

 

BGP: Mine is bigger than yours.

 

BGP: Mine is bigger than yours.

 

BGP: Yours can't be that big.

 

BGP: Mine is really big.

 

BGP: There are three sides to every story.

 

BGP: Mine is bigger than yours.

 

BGP: Mine is bigger than yours.

 

Good luck Bentonville and I hope you guys stick around.

Probably very close to the truth Always fun to have a spirited discussion with passionate fans

Just as long as we realize mine is the biggest it's all good :wave:

The candidates who applied should be kept anonymous anyway. Why on earth do you put who applied in your newspaper. Most coaches would not want everyone to know, especially if they don't get the job. What ever happened to confidentiality!

Simply put...more money

Tax dollars.

Here's a thought..... Maybe the powers the be at Trinity are fed up with BB looking at other opportunities and gave him a deadline for a decision of today or threatened to let him go outright. That timeline doesn't necessarily jive with the timeline that the AD at Bentonville has to make a decision (which it doesn't by the way), because he's yet to interview the field. ***Likely a byproduct of having his name released in the paper as having applied for the position. Trinity gets anxious and wants an answer. Timeline gets accelerated because in a normal process, Trinity would not have known he'd even applied for the job***

 

Unless BB signed a contract at Trinity, his "I'm staying at Trinity" declaration is just buying time until the details get worked out. If he's offered the job, he burns a bridge that he'll never cross over again in Kentucky. If he doesn't get the job, he stays at Trinity, no harm, no foul, and no one wiser knows the difference.

Agree 100%. The local paper here cited Freedom of Information Act to get the names. Many of the candidates were caught off guard as anyone looking for a new job might have been while still employed.

Congrats to Coach Beatty for staying at Trinity. Good for him, his family and Trinity Football. As most of us know, Louisville is a great place to live, work and enjoy life in a great community!!!!

Anyone can request information about applicants for a coaching or, I believe, teaching job through the Freedom of Information Act. BGP could post the names of every coach that applied for every job in Kentucky if they wanted to.
