AD had headhunter talk to Tinkle about what it took to win here. Would have loved to hear that convo.
Also spoke to Reuck and Casey.

OK... back to work... Overall I was enthused and excited by the press conference!
I was (and still am) sceptical of the hire, but this helped move me closer to getting hopeful!

Barnes:
"We did a gap analysis between us and the rest of the Pac-12 in regards to football spending" (Paraphrased)
"We are going to make a MIGHTY investment in salary pool for assistants, Jonathan will be able to get exactly who he wants..." (Pretty much word for word)

Barnes and Smith agree that Cory is great and are thankful for him and will have conversations with him.
Schnell: This job sucks and is really hard, why would you think you can win here, dum dum???
Smith: "I have been in the league, I know the league, I have been here (Corvallis) and I know we can win here, the league is all about swings and OSU will swing back up again"

Damn it, Eggers drew me back in with a question about facilities....
Smith: "For the student athlete the facilities are GREAT, FIRST CLASS" Talked about the weight room, locker room, indoor facilities, stadium and offices all being close to each other and on campus. Talked about other schools with an amazing buildings.... 15 minutes away from the campus and how being on campus and near living spaces is huge

Whether WE see it this way or not...
Barnes and Ray seem to think this is a Blue Chip, Home run hire, their "Top Choice".... maybe PR spin, but they seem genuine...

Barnes says there will be a massive investment in the salary pool for assistants. I hope this is true and not just an attempt to placate the fan base. I am very happy it was addressed - is he now forced to follow through?
