Lots of chatter so some may need to brace themselves

Does Huxler get credit for how good Bama's defense was before he got here?

To me, it feels like hiring the recruiting coordinator at Bama in their prime and thinking he's a great recruiter.

coach of the Year one year, is good. Well done. Its one year though.

Look, it's O'Connor, Wasikowski, & Fitz in that order unless something crazy happens with Bakich. The HEAVY smoke right now is O'Connor. It changes every week or two, but it's O'Connor right now. Was is strong too obviously.

I have been told since the beginning we probably would not be looking West Coast. Maybe Wasikowski is able to get his name involved and knock the interview out of the park, but I do not believe it at this point. I do think he would kill to get this job, but I think he would do the same for the A&M job or the Bama job if Vaughn got the A&M job.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I don't understand why any of you would pay any attention to Rosie. Isn't in the loop at all. And Kendall is working to get O'Conner more money at VA and has been since the beginning.

The problem is that he did the same thing last year when A&M came open and he got O?Conner exactly zero additional funds. You are not wrong though in saying that is what he is trying to do.

Virginia lost last night, dropping their RPI to 59.

I would still put them in if I were on the Committee. They are 16-11 in the ACC with an entire series at Florida State canceled. But who knows if the committee will be sticklers on RPI or not. That's not consistent from year to year.

Hopefully they don't make it and we announce O'Connor on Monday.

I doubt we announce anything until we are finished.

[Santiago]

Aggies may cause O'Connor to pause .

[KB21]

I will say that if it does end up being Erik Bakich, then that will be the most "kept quiet" interest in an open coaching job ever.

Probably not wise, remembering 2018.

Maybe. We can come to an agreement without announcing it. I don't know that we ever had an agreement in place with Schlossnagle when he pushed Cohen to go ahead and announce it.

We had an MOU with Schloss

I don't think TAM will fire their coach, we shall see. I also don't see SC firing their coach and we shall see again. As far as some of u guys saying "maybe" BOC is burn out, maybe a Virgina but no way do I think he is burn out from Coaching. Our season and a few other coaches season will end in a bout 10 or 12 days. Things are fixn to get really interesting.

SC already said that Maineri is coming back. A&M? We will see. Let’s hope A&M makes a run.

Head Coach Kansas, LSU asst. before.

Gotcha. Thanks.

SC announced Manieri is getting another year

SC announced Manieri is getting another year

They bid against themselves and gave him a fully guaranteed 4 year contract

There has been another donation to the athletics programs. This time, it's a $2.4 million donation from a family in Vicksburg.

I agree. I think he stays.

That said, they certainly should fire him. But I don't see it happening.

A name I've never heard mentioned but I like Kirk Sarloos at TCU. Early to mid 40's in age, former MLB pitcher and a heck'uva good coach.

Kirk would be a great coach but he is at his Alma mater and does not want to leave at all.
