Hanny sounds like he bit on the Zook "leak" and is back tracking a bit now.

Are you suggesting that the name given Hanny wasn't substantive - just a foil to deflect and buy some time?

Based on what, exactly?

I think you may be confusing chaos and confusion in the fan base with chaos and confusion in the athletic dept.

I will say that everything I said so far os 100% accurate.

However, I've only said like 2 things... anyone else can run with it and twist it any way they want.

I'm not trying to single out, but being vague to the point that it doesn't mean anything means that you can claim you were right and no one could argue. I would just rather not say anything.

incredibly vague and implying nothing set in stone. Its a pretty solid hedge.

Underwhelming hire=well negotiations with the guy I heard fell apart.

Great hire=I told you guys!

I just think its funny so many people got this shocking call friday, but none are talking. Has this ever happened?

I can tell this much, if someone told me I'd be blabbing like a school girl here. Now I personally wouldn't be saying anything outside of a pseudo-anonymous screen name.

The only person who was ever in the know here was BelowPar. He was actually on payroll. Being friends with a TAF top 100 donor doesn't mean shite.

here is the consensus from the IN the KNow crowd:

Get ready to be surprised…someone with experience, someone with a good track record,,,maybe a big name but not necessarily a big name. maybe a short guy, or tall too. could be bald or full head of hair…expect a hire to be made and announced before Spring Game.

I know exactly one high dollar donor, and he said he knows as much as the rest of us do.

you agree with me. don't look too deep into what i said. "appeared". that implies that someone had to view it that way. the fan base, some recruits, media members were viewing it that way. Hannigriff's comments has squashed that perception, that is all i'm saying.

I don't think the athletic dept is full of chaos and confusion. You just need better comprehension skills.

No, I'm saying that is a fact. One of 2 things is true:

1. Hannigriff was lied to and given a name in order to get him to be confident and then go out and help calm down the fanbase.

2. Hannigriff is lying in order to help calm down the fanbase.


He has no idea who the hire will be, because no one has officially accepted the job yet.

Wow. If 1, then Hanny is very gullible. If 2, then he's a liar.

I don't know him at all other than listening to him on the radio for years but both of these sounds incredulous.

your perception is irrelevant. there were people who had that perception. we've had defensive recruits decommit. We've had recruits who were going to visit, cancel their visits. We've had local media members saying that the hiring process is currently a disaster. We've had local media members claiming that Les has been turned down numerous times by numerous candidates.

The facts don't matter in those situations. The perception was real to some people. IMO, that perception was wrong. But, it did exist. And, it still does to some.

you are the only person i know that is pretending like this coaching search doesn't look bad. Many of us know that it isn't really that bad. But, it does look bad to some people. And, those people have been very vocal.

Yeah I'm even more excited now. Also fully prepared to melt down. I'll bring my A game regardless.
