I like the rest of you have been spending a lot of time reading this board and searching the net looking for news. Since I'm retired, I haven't lost any work time, but I have lost "retiring time".
Trying to be rational, it seems to me that the answer should be in the evidence we have.
And here's a shot at what the evidence we have is:
Hard Evidence:
1. He did leave to visit the following:
a. Brady Hoke - confirmed by media
b. Jago(alphabet) - confirmed by media????
2. He interviewed here:
a. Paul Chryst
b. Jeff Horton
Circumstancial evidence:
a. It is extremely unlikely it is a currently unemployed coach - why would you wait?
b. All the confirmations that he was looking for a "proven head coach"
c. The "Depol plane" to ????
d. Belotti's comment that he was contacted twice (by the search firm).
d. Timing suggests it's a coach of a team still playing or with a buyout that decreases in the near future.
I'm quite sure I've missed a lot of other evidence....contribute if you can.
(The evidence we have says we have Hoke, JagoXXXX, Chryst, and Horton on the list).
(Side note: One thing we haven't considered...the search firm is contacting candidates who meet the criteria and may be available. There no reason a sitting coach (we wouldn't think is available) couldn't call or have his agent contact the U to be considered (the Tubby angle).
Well, gentlemen, another day to entertain ourselves while we watch games.!
