I've seen some posts here conjecturing that the Wiz is a done deal because we haven't heard anything about anyone else but his interview. Supposed interview. TS hasn't said anything yet and many are worried about what he's thinking, who we are hiring, etc. I get all that, but did anyone consider that he has just helped select the top 4 teams in college football? He has been with a very select group of AD's and other top football people all season, rating teams for the past 6+ weeks, watching lots of film on every decent team in the country. He's seen OSU, bama, uGa, auburn, Clemson, OU, uCF and anyone else that might have had a shot at the final 4.
I would think that a smart guy who knew 2 months ago that his HOF head coach was ready to pack it in would be thinking about who was doing what with what level of players all along. I would be very surprised if he hasn't been talking to these other football savants and asking their thoughts as well. We have all thrown our $.02 in on Elliot, Satterfield, etc. but he has seen a lot more film on all these guys than we have. I won't be surprised if he comes up with someone not out "our" list, and I'd be willing to bet that whoever he picks will cause some of us to say "where did that guy come from".
CPJ said at his press conference that he was ready to leave a few years ago when Sasquatch was there because he couldn't get anything he needed. He also said that TS isn't that guy and that he does get it. TS will make a good choice, even if it doesn't work out. Remember, it's always a gamble to a certain extent. We have stacked the deck as much as we can in our favor, so we now get to see how the cards play out. It's all good.
