I don’t see it being one of the sexy names or playoff coaches. I think we have our guy right after thanksgiving.

They’ll be agreements in place much sooner than that. You think we’re going to wait around and get stuck with choice number 6.

The issue is that they can't sign binding agreements without informing the current employer. Looking at Woodward's history I have zero confidence in him navigating this without being played for a fool. I would love to believe that he's locked out of the search but we'll see. A non-binding agreement with Lane Kiffin is fool's gold.

Reminder that the transfer portal rules basically force teams to pick a coach before January.

The window closes on January 16, so hiring a coach even into the 2nd week of January puts us so far behind the pack going into the 2026 season.

Now there are caveats for coaching changes, but losing the spring portal window is huge.
