Head coach rumor.....

[Really Clark?]

Marcello tweeting that he's being told Chadwell is out of the running for our job.

Not sure how good his info anymore but that's just something out there.

That's true unless he changes his mind

[StarkVegasSteve]

With chadwell out, who has the real finalists here? Anyone?

Odom, Elko, Doeren, Fritz, Sumrall

Outside Shot WC: Malzahn or Lashlee


If I had $100 to bet I would put $80 on Odom and $10 a piece on Malzahn and Lashlee just in case it hit

[Really Clark?]

Not necessarily with Malzahn. I do think Odom would be a better hire than some people are thinking. Also, some have gotten so hyper focused on Chadwell that any other candidate is a failure

Malzhan will have to let us know he changed his mind then.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Malzhan will have to let us know he changed his mind then.

Money changes minds. It will be interesting to see who the Chadwell or bust boosters back since he is out now.

I'll be surprised if it's any of those

[StarkVegasSteve]

I'll be surprised if it's any of those

I mean unless you think it is going to be Dave Clawson, and I pray to the lord in heaven we do not hire that bitter bag of bones, who do you think it will be

5 defensive coaches. Surprisingly, I'm cool with any of those

You don't know everyone we're talking to. Stop listening to certain mouthpieces.

Eh, he has plenty and is interested in waiting on Ark another year. It's the silly season, he could but he was pretty set on staying.

I actually do know most of them. Those names are not coming from a media member of ours. I mean if you are holding out hope for Kleiman or Leipold then I cannot help you. THEY ARE NOT COMING. NEITHER OF THEM. Chadwell is also out barring a change of heart on his part.

Edit: There is a 2% chance on Kleiman so he is not at 0% like Leipold.

I know we have spoken with Elko, Fritz, Sumrall and Odom besides Chadwell. I think there is someone else but Selmon is keeping things pretty tight. That may be the real target after Chadwell. Elko we have to wait out the pecking order to see how much his interest is in leaving Duke for here.

I do not believe it to be very high. I also know he wants to be sure he is out of the hunt for A&M and Michigan St before making a decision on our job. I think we would have to overpay what he is worth as well. Again that is knowledge from A&M people out here in DFW. He is on their list, but he is down a few notches from the top.

If there's a 2% chance at Klieman, pls go all in.

[StarkVegasSteve]

If there's a 2% chance at Klieman, pls go all in.

Agreed 100%. If he is remotely interested then you back the Brinks truck up.

I seriously can't believe Odom is on our list. I mean we've already watched him fail at another SEC school just a couple of years ago. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

[Catfish]

Hopefully 9 million

For Kileman I would go 7.5-8.

For Sumrall I would go 4.

Odom would be 5.5-6.

What about Lebby? I'm only asking because of the Oklahoma connection with Selmon.

I think the highest you would go for any candidate,that is on our list in a realistic fashion, is probably 6.5. If Kleiman would entertain it I think you go 7.5.
