Possible announcement today? Friend in ticket office says theres an item on today's agenda called "new coach events."

 

also hearing corroborating reports on Red Sea Scrolls that today's the day. Even though Tressel/Frost is all but dead, rumors continue there as well. So there might be an outside shot still?

 

 

Barney was actually a very successful head coach. Hastings College. 1995 and 96. Won the conference his first year and was conference coach of the year.

 

Previous head coaching experience? check!

Nebraska ties? check!

 

Ladies and gents, we have our man!

 

championships? check!

 

Ross Els followed him, did even better. Just sayin.

 

 

Wow. this joke's gotta end fast.

Could it really be Tressel? It seems that this move was planned carefully and after a lot of deliberation, possibly starting the moment after Bo uttered, "If they want to fire me, go ahead" a whole year ago.

 

This would give SE plenty of time to reach out to a splash candidate like the Vest and secure something big. I'm holding out hope for a fashion statement.

I believe that IS where it began. SE sat Bo down and gave him more money to recruit and pay his assistants and then demanded progress, when Bo couldn't get us past 9-3, he got canned. He also probably knew it was coming.

 

I also agree that the longer we wait, the bigger the announcement must be. However, I'm of the opinion that SE had his man before firing Pelini, which also leads me to believe that this person was also on SE's radar since last November. In turn this leads me to believe that this person may not have had a job over this past year... A la Jim Tressel.

Heard Damon Benning driving home tonight on 1620. FWIW he didn't think Tressel was ever a candidate. He thinks it will be a proven coach in a respectable area of the country announced shortly after their CCG game is played. He also thought the announcement would be next Sunday. That is also intriguing. In the end who really knows? I remember the rumors prior to Bo being announced.

Frost, RichRod, Somebody from Bama or Mizzou, GA tech or FSU, Tom Herman, or somebody at Wisco?

 

None of those sound super appealing.
