Possible NCAA penalties is a good negotiating strength for.possible coaches. They can argue for higher base pay and a longer contract. If team is slow to improve they can also point out the penalties and dumpster fire they inherited.

Was thinking this earlier. If you are a coach trying to turn a program around that’s been in the dumps, you know it’s going to take a few years. If there’s penalties on the program it eases expectations, giving you time to work. On the flip side if you excel even under penalties then you are the savior. So it’s the money is right, the AD is a great boss, if the facilities are top notch, in the SEC, and the program is large enough to also attract recruits, then I think it’s actually a decent situation to step into.
I believe our biggest problem attracting decent HC has been the inability to support them fully from the AD. Hopefully White is the difference makers here

Gotta say, I would be terribly disappointed if Stoerner were able to supply coach target names. That would mean that there was much less control over the coach search.

I’m pretty confident that Danny White is not sorting through pantry goods and taping up moving boxes. 😎

I’ve done my best to be the non-ambiguous guy. I’m about to shift a bit. Yesterday all the existing staff were reminded that the have NDA’s and that a coaching search is proprietary information. I’m sure this comes from the fact that the athletic department is gutted and there are no channels for discussing things with press. The last few pieces of news have made it to this board before they’ve gone to selected news outlets. The national sources that the university prefers are Feldman at CBS, and Lowe at ESPN. They’d like the news to go there first for maximum effect. Yesterday both were scooped by journalists reading the board. I have interrogated my friend three times today, and am stuck with a handful of magic beans. I don’t know enough to be of use. I think that will change as we get closer. So, I can share a few things I know, and one semi-cryptic answer that I think is helpful, but probably non-satisfactory. White arrives today. Will meet players. Will do press conference. Will talk to Steele. Will fly to meet a candidate, supposedly in a neutral location. I get the feeling we have a coach already from what I’ve heard. While UT could not walk the line of waiting for investigation results and officially looking for a coach, unofficially, they’ve been looking for awhile. In fact (here’s the cryptic part) My friend says White was recommended by our future coach. My friend was willing to share that we pursued five candidates, but not willing to share who. The five are impressive according to him. One is perceived as the top of the pyramid, and is probably the source of the big number discussed. I read that to be Campbell, but that’s a guess. I know, and previously stated that Frost has a relationship with the chancellor and spoke to her. I have no information that he’s the coach. Given Nebraska is his alma mater, that doesn’t make sense, but I have no information to rule it out. I mentioned that board buzz says we’ll hire a seated coach, past chancellor commentary would rule out Kiffin and Freeze, and that it would have to be someone experienced. He said there’s one candidate that is down the list that would be a “bend” of that criteria. Maybe that’s Kiffin. In the past I’ve asked the chance of Freeze, and he said “zero”. I know that the plan has contingencies down far below the chosen five. We will not be embarrassed by public rejection, a long search, or dumb moves. This is going to be tight and fast. My friend rated the odds at 90% that we currently have our guy, and it will be official by next week. On a slightly sad note, Tee and Jay have missed several job opportunities to hold the team together. They’ve received very little communication or support on what happens next. The two of them have been rock solid through this whole mess. Yesterday they saved two players from the portal based on rallying them around the White news. I’m sorry I’m pushing soft journalism today. I’ve tried to give good data before. I just don’t have the goods today. I’m not even confident that my conclusions are right from my guessing game this morning. Like I said, I think some things will loosen up, and I’ll hear more. One final note: My friend said the White family is like the Kennedy family of the NCAA. They’re royalty. Kevin White is one of the most respected names in a mature athletics. He was a hero at Notre Dame and Duke and served on the Olympics board. The integrity of that name will be very important. That’s very good news.

God bless Tee and Jay Graham. I love that they’re giving their all, and it looks like people that matter might be recognizing their hard work in a financially uncertain situation.

Well I feel bad for my past statements against these two. Hopefully they get their interviews for a position provided they’re qualified for it.

Thank you as always !!!! I don't think it's Elliot because I don't believe, from all indications, they are going to hire a Coordinator. I really hope they get a HC with a prove winning record.
