HC Candidate/Rumors/Info Thread

This could potentially be a competing opening:

The disaster was two poor ADs in a row. we are paying for it dearly.

Bingo!

 

[Techster]

LOL...no one knows anything. Remember the AD search? Early names ended up not even being candidates. Something tells me we're all fishing in the wrong pond while Batt and Cabrera are fishing in the ocean.

 

[85Escape]

Huh?? What about a double gutter with middle pair? What are you talking about?

Hey, this is a not the forum that NSFW stuff!

Seems like you and a couple of others have more insider info than the rest of us.
Any idea when the announcement will be made?

 

[stech81]

Are we really down to BOB, Key, and Willie? That’s the best we can do?

BOB, Key no I like both, Willie at 62 and his record at Tulane other this year I say no

 

[85Escape]

No issue with the @62 part of his resume. I just hate to see another restart with the greater loss of players, new system, new everything.

Oh well, I'll get behind him and don't think it's a disaster by any means.

I just worry we'll see Key go, take the better coaches with him and wish he were ours soon.

As far as inside sources go, I have a buddy who works for the GTAA. He has been extremely tight lipped ever since JBatt took over. It's highly doubtful a lot of info is coming out of the GTAA that they don't want coming out of the GTAA.

Only thing he told me was that donors are not having a lot of say in this.

 

[bke1984]

My guess is Brent Key.

You have any idea on timing of an announcement?

 

[bke1984]

Fritz is the name I’m least excited about. I hope Ken is wrong.

Not an AD, but it would seem that could hurt when you need to raise money.

Just a guess if he has done all the interviews, it could be Late Monday or early Tuesday. If not, the following week which would be bad for signing day.

So, a certain forum member is claiming to have an inside source who claims that a certain coaching candidate is no longer under consideration.

Either:

A. He's right and deserves props (though he could be simply guessing), or​

B. He's trolling and deserves to be suspended from posting for six months.​

I have no patience for anyone who is intentionally lying about what they know. Having bad information is not intentional. Making stuff up is.

Did he say anything about how Mark Teixeira's ultimatum was received?

Not without calling out the person, and I want to leave that to the mods discretion.

And sorry about the title on the other thread. I did change it to make it less "click-baity".

We're on pg 227. Call the guy out, let's get some drama going here.

This board needs some entertainment.

Nope. Wouldn't be prudent.

After you called for me to be banned, I'm going to be on my best behavior.

 

[stech81]

Question ( not that I think he would be great) but why not Curt Cignetti , but he is 61 and that could be the reason.

We’ll wait for the announcement to make an announcement thread. For the time being, a thread that gets started today is either going to get the wrong content posted in it, or distract people, or fall down to page #3 before there’s an announcement.
