Klieman would be my absolute #1 from big 12 but I doubt we could pull him. Leipold would be a tough pull too, but I think slightly easier.

MSU is looking at guys who know how to win. Their top 3 based on reports:
Lance Leipold 161-58
Jamey Chadwell 108-57
Willie Fritz 205-115
All three have history of building programs. Lance Leipold took over two moribund programs in Buffalo and Kansas and resurrected both. Jamey Chadwell built the Charleston Southern program and the Coastal Carolina program as it was transitioning to FBS. Fritz has built multiple programs. JUCO national championship at Blinn. Central Missouri. Sam Houston State. Tulane.

I'd be good with any of those

We would be Fritz's last stop and I'm totally good with that. This would be his swan song. Anyone of those would be a damn good hire.

Fritz isn't top 3. There's almost no chance we hire him (Thank God!)

So, that means are top 3 or 4 guys are showing a lot of interest and things are looking good?

Yes, there's interest from all of them but a couple will be hard to work out.

Yes. It certainly won't be Chadwell because that rumor got hot way early. So we know he's off the board.

I've been told that Liberty isn't going to budge on the buyout. Normally schools negotiate an agreed buyout, when the original buyout is too high, because no one wants a coach that wants to be somewhere else.
The buyout is north of 12 million. I don't see us, and I don't think we should pay a buyout of 12 million, and pay Chadwell around 6 million. I mean, that is monopoly money.

Main reason I think it's definitely not Chadwell. Those things never work out. He was leaked as the top candidate like instantly. That means it's not gonna be him.
Won't be Frost either because Bert Stare said it would be.
So..... we can take those two off the list of who we'll think it's gonna be.

Holding on loosely like I been tied to the Whipping Post while my guitar gently weeps as I walk alone, I wonder if a picture paints a thousand words taking it to the streets under the boardwalk up on broadway down on the corner of Winslow Arizona while her face at first just ghostly turns a whiter shade of pale.

Not really. With 50 million in the buyout fund, find a sure winner and do it. This is a crucial hire.
6 million a year is meh. We can do that easy.

Looking at the scale this morning, I wouldn't classify it as good and probably should fast for as long as possible.....

I was told it was mid 8 figures, which is the same thing I read on here this week.
That was supposed to read 50, not 60.

Liberty made the decision years ago to go all in on football. They are serious and not playing around.
