There are a lot of reasons it wouldn't be announced this fast.
What time is Valenti on?
Kidding.
Let me check with Staudt first.

Is someone on the BoT pushing Marvin Lewis?

Probably some posturing going on. Fickell was probably (rightly) thinking that he was the only real choice, which strengthens his position, so it might make sense for MSU to say, Nah, we are still looking around.

He would have been a great hire.
And speaking of...
Marvin Lewis elevated to co-DC at Arizona State

Yes. Guess who?CORNER BLITZ wrote:Is someone on the BoT pushing Marvin Lewis?
Though that may have been just suggesting him as a candidate, as Duzzi, Saleh, and others were bandied about by the BOT. There's nothing Ive read to indicate that it is a big fight over it, though.

Your theory is we offered him the job, then took it back?

If you had to guess, and there was one chance you had to get it right, and if you got it wrong, you got a nut cut off. Who on the current board would you think maybe is pushing that name? hmmmm, one guess. ..... just one, no fair running down the members you don't know or have heard of.... just one guess.

They need to interview 3 minorities and an equal amount of women to make this official, right? Maybe that is why it will take a while.

Important lesson this morning it's better to be right than first. Freep reporting probably won't have a hire until next week.

Re: Welcome Coach Fickell
What other national outrage can occur due to this hire?
You kid about survivor Rachel, but I'd bet there is a fine tooth comb going over social media and whatnot right now. Of course Fickle has been in the public eye since forever... So, should be easy.
(Not like you fuckers... Imagine the team of professionals required to go over your online presence.)

I remember that. My reference in the OP was a call back to you posting "I hope your stay is a short one" when JLS was hired.
Honestly reading between the lines right now I think it comes out today that there is an agreement in place and he's the next HC. Comp mentioned potentially clearing his calendar for a pc tomorrow. Others are saying maybe Monday. But yes I think we will know he is our HC today and everyone is mostly on the same page here and it would take a monumental fuck up for this not to happen at this stage.

No, are you showing your reading incomprehension again? I'm not sure how suggesting that we have other options, so he can't hold our feet to the fire, equates to pulling an offer.NigelUno wrote:MiamiSpartan wrote:Probably some posturing going on.

Re: Welcome Coach Fickell
Honestly, this is a brilliant point. I had heard that he was the only candidate that had already been vetted through the AD, donors, and BOT, but it would probably be smart to scour any possible police reports, social media, etc. Heck, can we get Kathy Redmond to go on record as to whether she has any made up mafia boss-like scenarios yet for Fickell?AvgMSUJoe wrote:What other national outrage can occur due to this hire?

Nope. Read and comprehended your post just fine.
Your theory is this is stalled because Fickell wants more money (because his position is strong), and we told him...hey we have other options. So, we haven’t offered him the job yet? Is that part of your theory also?
We have other options isn’t a great negotiating tactic.

Just want to point out it's hilarious the guy that 'can't imagine anyone would listen to Valenti' even though I've repeatedly pointed out I don't, is posting inaccurate breaking 'news' he found off of an internet forum.

Think he was mostly kidding, but there are formalities involved in posting jobs and hiring people at a public university. They might apply in this case.

It’s not necessarily inaccurate. It’s just not public info.

Almost as bad as your lack of reading comprehension.

Possible, but I don't think any of us really know. Just pointing out it's absurd that someone who is condescending to anyone for listening to Valenti (I don't) iis pumping out message board rumors.

I've been in a mind-numbing meeting...
is it official yet?
(and by "official", I mean has Hondo been asked to leave the breakfast buffet, thereby getting back to his blog that screams "I wuz homeskooled").

Staudt said he’ll believe it when he sees it. Obviously in the Steve camp. At any rate...

Still not sure how saying that he's not the only one that we would look at means that there's no offer, or that the offer has been pulled. But whatever helps create an argument in your head.NigelUno wrote:MiamiSpartan wrote:

Mostly. But I have been in waste of time interviews.
That said, I guarantee we will read an article about diversity... and survivors.
