As we saw with the Kiffin deal, the calendar is not kind in these scenarios. If you are changing coaches, you better have your new crew in place before the end of the year to start recruiting portal kids and to try and keep your own. If Beth had the master plan Fry is claiming, I would think there would be some noise on that already and an announcement very soon. Starting to doubt Fry's info.
KF said "shit" in his post game presser too. The freedom of getting older is that you stop giving a shit about what people think about you. Love it.
Not necessarily, if the coach they want is internal then no reason to put out anything. Just my opinion but if Kirk is leaving and the candidate is internal he won't want to announce until after the bowl game to avoid all the interviews and press. He won't want to do that to the team and create a distraction.If feels pretty quiet, doesn't it? Seems like if there isn't any scent of smoke in the next 48 hours, there is likely no fire.
I think this may not be accurate if the candidate she is looking at is not currently coaching at the moment. It would be much easier to keep things quiet if you are only talking to a coach or a coach and an agent. I have no ties to the program or know all the ins and outs of relationships but the only person I could even think of that could match this would be Stoops. With how close Stoops and Kirk are keeping things quiet would be a lot easier if Kirk has expressed he wanted to keep it quiet. I would think Stoops and his agent would respect that relationship.Not to beat a dead horse, but if it is an internal hire, then Fry's information isn't accurate. Beth would not be recruiting anyone internally. She would offer the job. He would take it. Done. If that were the case, they would have announced it. Why wait? This would be a happy press conference with KF there to pass the torch. I don't think this is happening at all.
If she were chasing an external replacement and it was not certain whether the candidate would take the job or not, as Fry reported, then that would have leaked out by now. It hasn't.
Which Stoops? Mark just got fired and Bob is as old as KF. I would be shocked if this was the direction she wanted to head. Fitzgerald made some sense, but sounds like he is taken.I think this may not be accurate if the candidate she is looking at is not currently coaching at the moment.
