I've seen, maybe, a dozen fans post things about CAJ while wishing Battle would have landed Gregg. On the other hand, more than a dozen boosters I know--and not your garden variety type--feel Gregg thought he was low balled. (The amount of money he was after was simply too much, IMO)
You are assuming he was never going to take the job while ignoring the fact Battle spent several days with Marshall. What Marshall wanted, and what was offered, didn't match. So, we're left with a situation where Marshall was continuing to talk to Battle about taking the job while you're continuing to say "he never was going to take it?"
That makes no sense to me.
I don't see a single person in this thread upset about Marshall taking the job. What I do see, and I very well may be reading into this too much, is a valiant attempt at being a contrarian.
The continued comparison to Texas and Saban is as wrong as the earlier suggestion if this was a story it would be all over social media--when said evidence was right before your eyes. It's almost like comparing apples to pine cones--both come from a tree. The comparison of these two situations have one thing in common--it's a college sport.
