Then please share, so I will too know the truth.
Stidham's family fell apart. He doesn't come from much at all in the first place. His dad left and the home life sucked. In swoops a real scoundrel of a person who also happens to be a former Stephenville coach (part of Briles staff). Stidham moves in with this guy, he buy him new stuff, gives him a new big ass truck and starts to get in his ear. Stidham's heart is at Tech but the kid is screwed in the head at this point. The last official visit went something like this: Emo sits down and Stidham is no longer allowed to talk. This dude does all of the talking. He starts bashing Kliff and questioning everything, whisks Stidham off and doesn't allow him to talk. The meeting ends badly as Stidham left looking really sad and perplexed.
Now, of that is enough check out more truth:
1. This dude was removed as a coach because he was having sex with one of the students. Who he married.
2. He owns a large supply house of athletic supplies. Uniforms, equipment, signs...whatever. He peddles his stuff to high schools everywhere. He sells a crapton to Stephenville. The biggest place he peddles his stuff is at the Texas High School Coach Association. Which Art Briles is the president of. Exclusive access to every single high school coach is what he has. I've got numbers, sales and all of the public info on who he sells what to. The information is telling to say the least.
Lots of winks and back pats going around here.
