I think this AD hire happens before the weekend. And I think we have a coach in place before next weekend (mid week, next week). That way they can have one recruiting weekend left.
This has always bothered me, but I feel we have never approached our hires as “all in”. Given who we are, we should be able to walk in and get one one of our top 3 within 72 hours and have a coach named. Even with pending investigation and fluid roster numbers.
My other worry is going into the last week of recruiting a head coach might be reluctant to leave until after signing day.
Would you all be ok with having one of the top 3 even if they were hired around Valentines Day?
