I can't wait for all the Weber supporters to start up the "he kept the whole team here. isn't that enough for you?" talking points after we miss out on Howard and Forrest.
Forrest is going to be a candidate for the UNT HC job, so I feel pretty good about the thought that we're probably holding a spot for him (if he doesn't follow Jones to LSU).
The Howard thing was probably a surprise.
So at best, we are Forrest's 3rd option. Howard chose not to work with him. Has he called Dougie yet?
This is pathetic that he can't get a staff hired.
No one knows that for sure. I would say we are at worst his
second option because becoming a D1 head coach is on a different level of decision making than deciding what program you'd like to be an assistant for.
He came and interviewed after Jones interviewed for LSU. So, if he was sure Johnny was going to get the LSU job and follow him, why would he have wasted his time coming here unless there was serious interest?
If I'm Forrest, and my bread and butter is Texas recruiting, maybe I'm wanting to stick in a conference where we play in Texas four times a year to keep my exposure in that area as opposed to LSU, who will play there one time (unless we're talking non-con).
The Big 12 is the conference of Texas, after all.
