Time table for new coach

[msstate7]

What you guys think? I think we have our guy and it'll be announced within 2 weeks

[klong-dog]

If we have our guy I wouldn't wait that long. Heck, depending on who it is, he may need every minute he can get with Horatio and his son. I say by this Wednesday.

[TXDawg]

I hope it's within the next few days. Any longer than that and Strick didn't have his man committed - same mistake he made last time.

If it drags out more than a few days, it's less and less likely that it'll be a home run hire.

[msstate7]

I'd love it to be within a few days, but I'm afraid we'd wait even if we had him. If he's a current HC, you don't want it to look like we tampered with him beforehand.

[Quaoarsking]

Announce it as soon as you can. If the guy is still coaching in this season, do it the day after his team's season ends.

Otherwise, announce tomorrow.

I would hope Stricklin learned something in the last 3 years, and already has someone set up to hire before firing Ray.

From his quotes.. He has reached out and has has an idea.

2 weeks is the goal

I HOPE we have somebody lined up BUT if Stricklin didn't intend to have to fire Ray and rather had his hand forced I'm not sure why we would think he already has someone else ready to take the job.

[Coach34]

If we have someone in place- they will be announced by Wednesday. Clock is ticking on recruiting

Are these from the same folks that said Ray would have to rob the bookstore?****

[Goat from MSU]

Good one . 34 you need to quit posting on basketball or find new sources

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Next weekend absolute earliest but likely 2 weeks or so. Hopefully by Final 4 weekend.

No- it was the one that told me Hevesy talked to USC about their OL job smack dab in the middle of recruiting.

As has been posted- this decision to make a change was taken out of Strick's hands

Is this from the same source that said there was no way Ray wouldn't be back next year? Just curious.

[Liverpooldawg]

That's hilarious. You are the only ne who ever promoted that one.

[Liverpooldawg]

My advice 34, is to back off a while. You, and I, don't want your really good info and advice about football to be tainted by your obvious ignorance about what is going on when it comes to basketball. Either admit it or stay quiet for a while.

This. We aren't going to embarrass Ray, ourselves, or the new coach by making the announcement too quickly if we already have the guy in place. The people who need to know (re: Big Train & Malik) will be informed. But there's a certain level of professionalism that comes into play here. I wouldn't expect any announced for at least a full week.
