Football Coach Search Master Thread

[slackcat]

Evidentally getting close:

Snyder:
"Uhh... It's probably not going to be very long.  You know I did not come back because of football. There were some other issues.  Uhh...It was because of people that I came back.  It was just kind of to try to help right the ship if, indeed, we could.  And, uhh, to kind of calm the waters and I think we're getting close to that...so...
You know.... in the 3 years that I was away from coaching.  You know I stayed close to the program.  But my time was invested in a lot of other very significant things that I enjoyed doing and were meaningful to me and, certainly, time with my family as well.  So, we'll get back to that before too very long."

 


Better warm up the search committee.

Bobby Petrino is at home waiting for Bill to say the word.

I think Currie already has his guy. Just have to wait till he is fired first.

[Pete]

Yep.

Currie knows who he is going to get, but you're full of crap if you think he isn't going to milk the search for 3 days at a Quality Inn in Dallas

"We have harley's"   

[GoodForAnother]

highly doubt he leaves with sams and the returning offensive players. could be his best offense ever next year.

[Belvis Noland]

Conference title and he's gone. 

[ChiComCat]

Last time he left he gave a speech about not leaving the cupboard bare.  I think he would like to leave some talent for the next guy.

What better time to leave. Sean will have all the can fruit to look good for 2 years or so. Unless Currie's guy is on the unemployment line, then Bill might stay till death.

God Bill is scheming your faces off.

I'm sure he has a friend he'd like to throw some money at (by the hour) as a "search consultant" as well.  Can't rack up the billable hours unless you burn 3 days watching Law & Order reruns & raiding the minifridge in Dallas hotel.

If bill steps down after this year, currie should hire Dimel, imo.  he won't, unfortunately.  I’m guessing Ron Zook, so we can get all the losers fired from Illinois.

[catzacker]

Also, how is it that a coach who won’t confirm or deny if a player has a hangnail under the premise that it could provide a strategic advantage to his opponent(s), keeps saying he’s not going to coach that long?  I mean, Bill…buddy….lie and say you’re going to do this for a while because you’re enjoying it.

The lie was that Bill enjoys anything in life other than coaching football. He couldn't bear to hang out with his family for 3 years. He isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

It's going to be either Chizik or Dooley.

A football coaching search has to be worth AT LEAST 100k to his buddy the search consultant, right?

[Rage Against the McKee]

If we start a grassroots campaign for Dimel now, would that make any difference? I think the campaign for Gottlieb was started too late because as soon as Currie caught wind of it, he announced oscar was the coach and killed it before it really started. He can't hire a coach when Bill hasn't resigned yet, though.

Then it’s the worst (strategic) lie in the history of lies.  “hey, potential recruits, I’m going to leave before you’re a junior….psyche!”

[yoga-like_abana]

hey guys we have a farmageddon tomorrow try to stay on topic

[Super PurpleCat]

I hope we win and I hope Bill lives to be 120.

[steve dave]

there've been some high level rumblings/grumblings that this could be it for bill even before the season started.
