Otter may be right. The two best candidates still remain or did he mean the "only "two candidates remain ? Our fearless leaders better act !!

I'm wondering if Hinrichs broke NCAA rules by bringing in someone who wasn't on the finalist list. From what I understand if they did that, they would need to re-open the position; from which I don't think they did. They won't have time to re-open the job and they'll have to hire one of the two finalist.

OK you're going to have to explain this, what rule are you talking about?

I'm not aware of any rule we have to follow a specific procedure to hire anyone...

Was there a search comitte and finalists when Boyle left? No, they just hired Hill like 5 minutes later.
 
IF they closed the position then they must take the applicants that applied within the time frame. I don't know if the position is closed or not. Did Hinrichs just go around the search committee recommendations? Logan was NOT part of the finalist and then all of the sudden he is on campus and we make an offer. Something is wrong with that picture.

I agree this has turned into a total cluster f***.

The fact we extend an offer and get rejected is such bad publicity and totally humiliating. Why were the ducks not in a row? How do you not know exactly what it takes to get the deal done and only extend an offer as a final formality?

Unless Logan lied or reneged on an agreement and if so then letting us extend an offer and then reject it is going to do heavy damage to our reputation... if that's possible at this point.

The more I think about this the more annoyed I'm getting.
 
4 days ago I started this thread...
Just to remind everyone of my original statement...

"Maybe Jay is a big idiot. Maybe Jay is in over his head. I'd bet the house Jay will get fired this time next year."

I really think this is one of those deals that only hindsight will be able to answer. A year from now we may be saying:

1. Wow, Jay really knew what he was doing and we ended up with the right guy.
2. Wow, Jay really screwed the hiring process but we ended up with a solid coach.
3. Wow, Jay really screwed the hiring process and let a lot of good coaches slip through our hands and we are faced with 4 more seasons of losing football.
 
Hope it's #1 because, if not, it will be Jay's ass next on the chopping block. There's no reason for this process to take this long, and be this much of a cluster. Just higher somebody, if I had to pick it would be O'Boyle, and get this show on the road.
 
And some good news we won't have to listen to everyone laugh that we hired a high school coach! :P

But at this point I'd expect to hear something tomorrow.

There are only 2 guys left and he's had 2 days to get this done.
 
Former player here...

WTF is going on? I've met Jay- is he really still there?
Are we sure he didn't get a job and move?
This doesn't make sense?

I know alot of you have bashed the current staff- we the players have too at times. But give the job to Coach Deti!
He doesn't settle for a loss. He will work his butt off until winning is a norm!
He can turn this around!

JAY- Coach Deti is your answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys can bash and talk all the shit you want, but you don't understand unless you are there.
Give him 1 year- 1 year- he'll turn it around! You'll see!
He knows football- he can do this job- quit messing around- time is up
Hire Coach Deti!

That's all well and good FBALLNUT, but the committee didn't think anyone who didn't coach here in the glory days was worthy of consideration. From what I heard, Deti didn't get any consideration. As for Logan, the committee was in 100% agreement that he was the first choice.
 
Coach Deti may be the answer but sorry ,outside of seeing him pace the sidelines,, a lot of us just don't know him very well! I am really disappointed we have not heard anything today

Bearcub - you seem to be close to the situation. What's going on? Also, where is Fedup. He was close to the committee as well. As far as Deti, I can see that. I would be fine with that. However, I have one question for you former players: If Deti was such a good coach, why didn't you play better for him? The defense wasn't horrible, but not great at the same time.
 
I have not heard anything except that an offer was made yesterday and accepted. Jay is not around, so we have an idea who it is. The only thing that I can guess is that it has to be either Collins or O'boyle. I don't care either way, except that O'Boyle has more experience as a head coach. As far as Deti, he is a very good coach and unfortunately there were a lot of things he wanted to do but couldn't because his hands were tied by the head coach. I think if he was given the opportunity, he would have been a hell of a head coach for us. Let's not forget that the head coach still has the final say on his staff and his decisions can sway the perception about the whole staff.
 
I truly hope this cluster is over, and that the successful candidate as well as any others in the mix have been informed.

Quicker that is over, the faster the healing process can get underway.

Thanks for the insight fed.
 
Beardown- you must be joking!
I believe Alcorn State was 5 and 6 last year- wow.
I know Collins- that would send this program off the cliff! He cannot change things here!
What a joke this has become!

Man, a once proud program, is heading where?

THANKS JAY!

There was a big mess at Alcorn State. He's turning things around there. We need him here to do the same.
