Professionally, you always use discretion. If you're turned down, you don't want that broadcast nationally. IF he's on campus, I'd say he's just scouting out his new office and facilities.

This is hilarious. For the first time in coaching search history, a school is going to make a new hire within 5 days of firing their old coach lol.
Its the ultimate failure of Foley. A hire like Stoops should’ve been made after Chump. I wasn’t a fan of the Chump hire but it made some sense at the time. But you just couldn’t miss after Chump and going after another cheap, high risk guy was as stupid as it gets. I hope UF boosters take note and demand change at UAA. Its well past time.
It actually makes sense that, if true, it was in the works for a while. The only way they could come up with the needed funds to dump Willie was for wealthy (not rich, wealthy) alums to pony up. Those guys are only going to write those kind of checks if they are convinced the AD is going to get it right this time.
With Mark a likely candidate for the job, it seems unlikely that Bob would swoop in and mess up his brother up like that.
Can you give out your number again so we talk about this?

This says Stoops while keeping Briles as OC/HC in waiting and Leavitt as DC.

I think if any of this ends up being crapola you deserve a perma ban.
Fleck is turning the rumors into a contract extension at Minny.
I saw that too.
Okay I am now fully on board on wanting ole Bob to take this job and to groom Kendal Briles as HC in waiting. Have you seen how disorganized Briles is and how it translates to the field? Briles for HC. I am all in. Yes I know that falls on Willie but Willie was recently quoted as saying "Kendal calls the plays"
just saw that too, and that throws water on the flames about stoops. doubtful minn would pull a contract extension and raise out of their butts within a couple hours if there was anything substantial to the stoops thing.
Just what he should do. Say what you want guy has shown an ability to stabilize lower and middle level programs. And if Minny wants to pony up then he should say thank you.
i think fleck is the real deal. i wanted us to give him a look last hiring season. but we never go big, or take a shot at a young gun anymore.
This is one of those predictions where you better hope your sources are well-informed bc if you end up wrong, there's going to be a lot of chit thrown in your direction.
And I'd point to all the wild rumors from our own recent coaching searches (STAB, Chip Kelly, etc.) as something to be mindful of too, since even well-connected individuals are often wrong...

I have no idea on whether Stoops rumor is true or not. But if true the optics of announcing on Thursday just doesn't look good to me. You fire the HC on Monday and have a new guy in by Thurs? I'm sure the Nolie fans would be ecstatic but would imagine the national media will have field day of firing a minority coach just because you got something better. And why install Haggins as interim?

On top of all that, why announce that you are hiring a search firm to get you a new coach. Something isn’t adding up, but these are the clowns we are speaking about.
