STILL GOING

SMU

Don't you guys find it interesting that after no coverage from the Dallas Morning News for 2 months all of the sudden there were 2 leaks in back to back days?

Is Orsini softening the blow because he doesn't have that homerun hire? Or is leaking a couple of lesser candidates to make his hire look better?

If he were going to hire Coker or Fran a.) he would have interviewed them long before this week. b.) he could have them both hired today.

Steve-O is obviously putting the heat on another candidate to let him know that there are other fish in the sea. My advice: the second Rick Neuheisal gets turned down at UCLA announce the hire.

There are many that think Steve-O has some secret coach lined up and ready to take the job, if that were the case the leaks would not have happened this week.


Michigan

I give a ton of credit to Bill Martin, I was certain they were going to have to reach. Michigan fans should be totally pumped. Rich Rod will give Tressell a run for his money.

UCLA
Rick Neuhiesal had a second interview yesterday. It obviously didn't go to good or we would be watching a presser today.

Supposedly Steve Kragthorpe is getting a call today. Kragthorpe is a good coach, but good luck selling his 6-6 record this year to your support base.

I still can't tell if Mike Leach got interviewed or not, he should have.

Did Steve Mariucci have bad breath or something? He interviews early and then you move on to John Harbaugh?

Your guess is as good as mine.


West Virginia

These guys seem to know what they are doing. They had a list ready and have interviewed the candidates on the list already.

I don't think Terry Bowden can campaign hard enough to win the gig.

I am told Doc Holliday is the favorite but that some are pushing for Butch Jones. Doc Holliday - he even sounds like a badass.

Todd Graham has not been contacted yet but would be a great coach. I think Graham is getting overlooked due to Krag's lackluster performance this year. I know two different guys, but if you don't think ADs pay attention to that think again.

Rick Trickett got an interview and did very well.

In the end, I think it will be between Terry Bowden and Doc. Doc wins

Is it possible to be given the death sentence twice? If SMU hires Neuheisel we will soon find out. This guy is as shady as they come.

Look for an announcement for Fran at SMU either Monday 31st or Wednesday the 2nd.

Write it down.
