It's pretty common. Lot of targets in one place and easy to get face to face interviews
The Bobo leak was done as a joke. It was Arnett’s way of finding out who is leaking info. Bobo was never a candidate
Dan was in a bad spot at that time. I think he was burned out on us and whiffed on the Miami job and then Keenum reamed him out for losing the Egg Bowl Dak's senior year in Starkville. That was the year where Dan didn't get a raise if I remember correctly.
I heard he tried to get Hevesy a raise though after that shitshow of an o-line he put together which hurt us badly in 2015. LOL.
Honestly when Steve made that post I didn't take it seriously.
I thought he was frustrated with the whole Briles thing and was just making a post to show everyone how "bad it could be" and then when we hire someone with some question marks "Welllll it's not Bobo!"
Well, you guys are far more in "the know" about this, than me. So, if yall say it was a joke....or planned to sniff out a mole.........well, ooookay.
However, I don't get State fans disdain for Bobo. Unless it is simply Leach purest that don't like Bobo's contrasting style. WHich is what I think the "OH NO, BOBO" group think really is. However, I digress. Not the point.
Im getting a hunch it is Bobo. Bobo is a part of the game planning for the NC. We have not heard of any other serious candidates. Or at least good ones. Regardless if yall like his scheme or not......the guy has a ton of coaching experience as a HC, OC and QB coach....over many years and in the SEC with very good programs.
Only potential guy that is currently involved in NC planning is Ricker @ TCU. I'd be fine with he or Lindsey but I assume there are other guys that Arnett is interested in as well.
