I have no problem with him talking to Arizona. I do have a problem with him walking out on our recruits and negotiating, during our biggest recruiting weekend, and also recruiting for Arizona while on our payroll. Having a big problem getting over that.
Fine, but that's college football. You have to strike while the iron's hot and coaching searches can go down in a matter of hours.
The situation was a really [deleted] one in terms of the timing and the fact that JJ thought he had an offer in hand which was later revoked. I don't think he would have "recruited on our dime" or walked out or whatever if he didn't think he had a solid offer from ASU in hand that was later pulled out from under him. We got a pretty raw deal in the end, but June got a pretty raw deal from ASU as well.
When he interviewed on that recruiting weekend he did not have the offer in hand. The agreement was a day or two later. He was recruiting on contingency that he might get the job before the offer was even made.
