There was no point in firing O that early in the season if he didn't. All this stuff coming out now means nothing. You don't make a move like that unless you have a sure thing.

Woodward is not Alleva.

bullshite. the ship was sinking. firing O was letting everyone know a rescue boat was well on its way.

Or you fire O early because he isn't the guy and you get a head start on finding the right man for the job.

What if somebody forgot to put the plug in the rescue boat?

people keep repeating this but the timing of the firing isn't really any type of indication on whether or not you have your guy or not. Ed was getting canned either way

Scott has proven that he's not a knee-jerk reaction type of AD. He has a well formulated plan before making big decisions.

No, I'm saying he probably had 100% agreement on whoever the coach was before making that decision. There was no benefit to firing O mid season if you didn't.

Woodward knows what he’s doing and is highly respected by everyone. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that he had his guy already fully bought in and everything we are hearing now is bullshite.

Exactly. This wasn't going to be a search. He had his guy and went out and got him. Everything now is just speculation and hearsay.

The formula was that Ed O checked out long time ago. There was probably some sort of fracture in their relationship and Scott W has enough belief in his hiring ability that he could hire 20 coaches that all would be upgrades for the university football team.

When you go back and look how thongs played out you can see Ed was ready to go.

100% agreement from who? Our side? Sure I believe that. Doesn't mean the coach was/is/would be in agreement though. Your OP makes it sound like Woody had an under the table agreement with a coach already.

If we're willing to throw out 12 mil a year, you don't think he couldn't have gotten this rocked up a month ago with contingencies that we would let the season finish out?
