Update as of 11/22 10:15am .

Cliffs from Billy on radio this morning

Know the goal is to narrow down and have their 2-3 names. Coaches have been vetted. We're going after these couple of guys.

From talking to sources around the country the expectation is it's 3 finalists now.

-Kalen DeBoer he thinks is still a candidate. He's not leaving a job unfinished and will not allow himself to be distracted while at Washington.

-Dan Lanning and Dan Campbell were neither never in the running like Billy said in the beginning.

-Doesn't believe DeBoer will engage himself but through agents.

-Don't take Ryan Day off the list but very skeptical of that. Likes Elko. Things Day is his agent trying to work things up.

-See what happens if Day loses to Michigan and how the heat turns up.

-Billy mentions a name but won't say who. Then comes back to Luke Fickell. Would've called to kick the tires on him.

-Matt Rhule and Fickell could've been names even though they've only been at their schools for one year.




Ross Bjork on the upcoming hire

“We have to get this contract right," Bjork said. “We can’t do what we did before... We’re not giving bonuses to go to the Liberty Bowl. The CFP, the first round, the quarterfinals, the semifinals, you host, you win the national championship. If you win the national championship, you’ll get paid like a national championship coach. That’s how we’re putting this package together."
