When will the announcement of a new coach happen?

[RUStudent]

I'm starting to believe, it won't happen until after the conference championships.

Doesn't "need" to be done, but it would be beneficial. As long as it's the right coach!

Agree, at some point current and future recruits need to be addressed "by the new staff" not Floods crew who has been asked to keep on recruiting for the time being.

"until after the conference championships."

interesting ... let's think about that ... if it that is the case - for a genuine reason .. why?
there have been a number of moves made already - but unless I missed something, none of those moves had a hard link to conference championship games - the team and the candidate were unencumbered by further on-field obligations (quasi-exception = Kirby Smart & that is now in a weird sort of we all know - but can't say state)

If "until after the conference championships." is on the critical path for some prospects - it sure is not for Al Golden, it is not for Greg Schiano and it is not for several others.
Who is currently is a position where he can't / won't consummate a deal?
Either because of Conference Champs - or a final game -
- Mario Cristobal , Alabama - same situation as Kirby Smart
- Matt Rhule, Temple
- Dino Babers, Bowling Green
- Jeff Brohm, Western Kentucky
- Willie Fritz, Georgia Southern
- Charlie Strong / Texas chain reaction (Texas vs Baylor this weekend)
There are probably several other names that could be added to this list -

So for the anti-Golden folks this reasoning might hold some hope ... but might make the no-to-Mario folks concerned.

Probably once one gets hired

need a coach before an announcement can be made

 

[StyleKnight]

Word will leak before the official announcement. Miami and Maryland are done. Now Virginia and Rutgers are on the clock.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I'm pretty sure we're currently "on the clock" for the shortest amount of time so can people please relax just a tad. It's been, officially, less than 5 days.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

It will be announced once the new coach is hired.

 

[pnbsoup22]

Is there any interest in Butch Davis?

Didn't Butch Davis just leave a stench behind him regarding academics at N.C.....

 

[KnightsB10]

It will be decided once Mullen or another home run says yes or no.

The announcement will be made today.
