Based on this, and some things I am hearing, here is where I think we are:
White has a name above everyone else, and as I posted earlier, there's a meeting with that candidate tonight. I don't know this for sure, but I think it is Fickell.
I have also heard this bit about it being a 5 man search because a direct quote I got was "Elliott was called on Wednesday night when White got the job. I'd say he's like 5th on the list."
We're going to have to fill in some blanks, but I believe the board looks something like this:
1) Fickell
2)
3) Neal Brown
4)
5) Tony Elliott
This quote from
@Stoerner Fumbles is telling to me, but I think he reaches the wrong assumption.
The "bend" would be a lack of head coaching experience, not a lack of integrity. He supposes it means Kiffin, I think it means Elliott.
