Sorry this is long, but hey I broke it up and it isn't one giant paragraph.

Something I just realized, which has probably been in one of the 10,000 posts in these threads...

If a coach is fired/announced as not returning, multiple things can start happening:
1. Said coach can be rumored/linked to other programs
2. Current coaching staff can be rumored/linked to other programs
3. Interested coaches can be linked to the opening/upcoming opening

By not firing CBJ, nor announcing he is not returning, you prevent those 3 things from happening. None of those are happening. There is no rumor mill, nothing on the major sites from what I can tell.

No coach nor their agent is going to leak to their media friends that they have interest in the UT job when there isn't an official opening. It's an unwritten rule of coaching. You don't pursue someone else's job while they're still in it. It's a bad look. Likewise, it would seem unwise for the current staff's agents to leak to their media friends (in targeted other markets where they'd like to land) that they are going to be available... because they aren't currently available. And it's the middle of the season. Distraction for your program and the one you want to land at.

Now, onto interim coaches. I don't know how rare it is, but I'd bet sometimes you take the interim job in hopes of earning the full-time gig. Depends on a lot of factors, why the head coach is being fired. For example: personal misconduct vs. the whole program being a dumpster fire.

If the whole program is a dumpster fire, it's unlikely even if you do an amazing job, that you get the full-time gig. AD most likely wants to clean house anyways.

Of course another reason to not take the interim job would be if you know there is no way you're getting the job... because it's already filled. So why take on the added stress, the (minor) black marks on your resume, etc.?

I just keep coming back to either Currie is a genius and has this on lockdown or we are literally the most dysfunctional university on the planet. Here's to hoping it is the former...

We'll find out real fast about Currie and the upper's once Butch is gone.

They had better "nail" the next hire or, it's going to be empty seats forever.

Per Hyams again today....Currie not looking to remove Butch, hopes he wins out and he's able to keep him at UT.

Scary, because Hyams gets straight AD party line information. At least that information they want spread around.

So... at some point it has to become so blatantly obvious that he is being fed bad info that he has to start questioning his sources, right? Like, in light of ALLLLL the recent info, does he understand how dumb this sounds? Does he just blindly follow what he's told?

The only quote you are going to see is what comes up when you select the quote button. Meaning what came up for me just now is what you said above in html quote code. More than one quote has to be done manually by you which might be difficult to explain in this fast moving thread :)

I sure hope all the insiders' info from several weeks ago is still holding firm. All we heard was how impressive Currie was in being out front on a coaching search. His supposed list and so on and so forth. Hopefully that wasn't all bs.
