might be longer than I originally thought....
 

It's beginning to look like Teague really did make a blind fire.
 

We are going to lose out on the coaches we really want....then the AD will regret letting Tubby go.
 

If we don't hear something in the next 24 hours than I seriously think Nadine's source was blowing smoke. All the other Alleged Sources are crap to me. The only source I will give the benefit of the doubt to his Nadine's source....but I don't think its looking good right now.
 


If Shaka isn't announce in the next couple days then he's not coming.

It could have been true at that time, but things change. It ain't over til it's over.

Or this is all smokescreen.

I wouldn't put it past NT. I think he is pretty media savvy and knows how to play the leak game. The Chris Collins leak makes him look better for NU and makes it look like MN truly is targeting various people, even if we've already got our guy. Makes us look better for Tubby's sake. Also makes Shaka look better that he didn't agree to leave simply and quickly and at least have his current school a chance and only decided on MN after a tough tough decision and discussing with his family.

Every leak has a reason behind it. Either a PR move or it is true. The tough part is determining which is which and sometimes we never find out. Like will we ever know if MN really had interest in Collins if he goes to NU? Probably not.

Fact is, few people really know right now. So just fun to enjoy the ride.
 

My take - you don't make a move like this (firing Tubby) without having a pretty damn good idea that you have a replacement lined up in your back pocket.

If the U fired Tubby without a replacement in line, they wind up as the laughing stock of College BB. I don't see Teague taking that kind of a risk - he doesn't strike me as a gambler. I hope that Teague or Ellis had some kind of a verbal, off-the-books agreement in hand before the firing was announced.

If it turns out that they fired Tubby without a succession plan in place, then Teague is going to be on a nuclear hot seat with the fans and media. I just don't see him taking that kind of a risk. It would be Joel Maturi II - and Teague runs the risk of losing the fans (and boosters) with his 1st big move.

Many feel Shaka was the hire.....that's what they wanted for Tubby's head. Now worrying that will not happen....failure for Shaka.

Dude you need to get a life. You are on here every second of the day complaining about the move to fire Tubby. Get over it. Either get on board with the move and hope for the best or go support Tubby's new team. Or at least stop posting here.

What????
 





"Although I'm not "in the know," I've been given indications that there will be a major announcement in the next day or two."

That was in an email I just got from the pep band director, saying that we, the pep band, might have to attend and play at a press conference sometime soon.

I am hoping you are right.
 

Looks like, barring a miracle, having the big announcement today isn't going to happen. Darn.

Thought I'd push this thread back to the front to show how everyone was voting a week ago.
