I know y'all **** on Jimmy but this is the first mention of Dykes that I've seen. Worth monitoring.

AV said we would love the hire...Leipold and Dykes are not it. Move on

 

[butchna]

Yeah.... And dude was taking about a damn coordinator.

No. The conversation was about the HC hire.

Jimmy busting out the "OH SH#T" list

 

[RiotVol]

Latest SF post. seems alot of hush hush now.

This line "Yesterday all the existing staff were reminded that the have NDA’s and that a coaching search is proprietary information" sounds like "Kevin, if you tell anymore members of the press who you are going to hire on your 'staff,' we are going to fire you for cause."

 

[Catbone]

I’m not saying it’s my choice but Leipold is somewhere in the T10 active coaches wins list. A lot better than what we’ve had previously.

I'd prefer a coach that has won a top 25 game

Looking back at Pruitts defense, one thing that I never understood was why our players always looked confused out there. Early on I got the impression from his interviews and quotes from past players that his concepts were simplified. HT was about the only one who looked like he knew his assignment.

So, we need to see which portal entries were NOT recruited by Neids to get a good idea who it is.

 

[90 Vol]

Boy that is an uninspiring list.

Jimmy Hyams is an uninspiring guy. He knows nothing and is just trying to poop on the enthusiasm generated by yesterday's AD hire.

Is this the first “confirmed” candidate?

 

[Dudleys87]

His father is at Duke I believe not that he needs to but I’d bet he’s getting his input as well.

Not to mention it’s been stated that his dad is in the good graces of the AA and could help on that front

 

[JCP201]

Elliott I could tolerate begrudgingly. The other 2? Forget that.

I thought we were hiring a current head coach. :-/

A connection I just thought about. Herman was at Houston when White first got to UCF. Same conference. I suspect their paths crossed quite often

If Harralson is saying it, then I think there’s smoke there. Damnit.

That's NOT a primary source, that's internet gossip.

Edit: that reads much harsher than I intended.

Bob is not gossip. I dm with him and he is a high school coach in Tennessee and has contacts with current assistant coaches, ex players and many others. He’s been right on top of the for months. He talks to Chadwell. He misses timelines occasionally but he is money. Believe it or don’t.

 

[msanford52]

Amendment: I just got an answer that confirms Herman was/is in the final five. Can’t rank where. My friend also just texted that Hyams’ list is nonsense.

Another Nug.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Don't understand those wanting Lance Leipold. Buffalo looked unimpressive in the mac championship game. Didn't Butch win the mac?

His record speaks for itself and places that didn’t know how to win before he got there. In the bowl game he was without his best player.

 

[Dudleys87]

I'd prefer a coach that has won a top 25 game

Who’s to say he can’t?
The guy picks winners let’s not damn him to hell before the pick is in

 

[BruinVol]

He read it here
same when he “reported” White

 

[WarMachine]

Is this the first “confirmed” candidate?

I don't think this is speculation.

 

[mrmax86]

Let me say this, tho I’d rather go with someone other than Elliot, I trust White. He has proven his ability to hire good coaches. If he sees that in Elliot, I’ll trust him until he gives me reason not to

Yes.
