What a weird article. We didn't ask, so he didn't say no.

It's somewhat entertaining for totally different reasons than intended

Yep. We would have paid him what he wanted.
He's actually the perfect replacement.

If he were stupid enough to answer that differently in Lubbock no one should want to hire him.

But we would. And he would. And he answered correctly. Nothing to see here.

""And I talked to Coach Drew specifically, and everybody, I think, tries to make contingency plans, but it never got to any point where it was specific."

Here's the meat of that article. He talked, Drew told him he wasn't going, end of story. McCasland spoke in our Sunday School class a few weeks ago, and he is a clone of Drew in the way he talks and presents himself. HIs "we're going to win a NC at Tech" was almost verbatim from Drew's introductory speech.
