[...] shows Jones clearly doesn’t buy into the principle of “LEMSDAY!” espoused by Ed Orgeron and other coaches who honor prior commitments made by the outgoing coach [...]

This was a great book and to me all Saban does is lie ex. saying he wont go to bama and then goin and sayin he wont go to the dolphins then goin…but one of my favorite parts of the book was when SJ kept asking what was in it for him

Michael Oher was flunking out of school as a freshman at Westwood. Sean Tuohy was a former Ole miss point guard and does Memphis Grizzlies radio work. He took Oher out of the projects and into Memphis Briarcrest, a private school. That’s why Oher ended up at Ole Miss. So did his HS coach.

Seriously I didn’t want to say it, but Fulmer is painted as such a bumbling retard, I immediately thought about money when wondering how Tennessee recruits so well.

Again, Ignorance flows forth in these comments when it comes to Ole Miss.

Why Ole Miss? Not Money…More so his adopted Dad was a basketball player at Ole Miss and Ole Miss is an hour from Memphis.

Ole Miss pulls alot of players from the Memphis Metro.

Orgeron’s a great recruiter (2 time rivals recruiter of the year) and he pretty much offered Oher’s high school coach a position on his staff (TE coach and Offensive guru), Coach Freeze has turned out to be invaluable, not only in recruiting but in coaching as well. (kinda like Mustain’s head coach, Malzahn) Yeah, it helps in his recruitment, but O wouldn’t have hired him if he was a dipshit.

If there’s no other explanation, the answer is probably MONEY !

“His cromag manners and approach earn him scorn from the women in the book, who alternately refer to him as “a hick” and as someone who looks like he was dressed by his mother.”

And I thought Fulmer was supposed to be a great recruiter? Wonder how he gets players to go to Knoxville?

Again, why Ole Miss?

Even [triceps redacted] would have had a hard time selling that one.

“I’ve never seen so many dead hookers in all my life!”
“Lord knows I have.”

I like the part of the book when the coaches first get a glimpse at Oher’s football skills and Brad Scott, recruiting for Clemson, just hands the coach his card and extends the kid a scholarship right of the bat and turns around and goes home, all within 5 minutes of seeing the giant football golem do his bidness.

Well, he ain’t called “freak of nature” just cuz of his football ability.

From the OleMiss bio of Oher:

PERSONAL: Son of Denise Oher and Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy … Full name is Michael Jerome Oher … Born: May 28, 1986.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen three parents like that before…

Somewhat disappointed that story failed to mention everyone’s favorite college footbaw blog, which surely helped in spreading the Orgeron song.
