Josh Kendall of the Athletic is reporting (I feel bad linking other sites here but you can find this with a little digging pretty easy) that our administration have already “met face to face” (officially interviewed?) Jamey Chadwell. They have scheduled face to face interviews with Beamer and Satterfield as well and have had phone conversations with Monken, Napier and Freeze.. So, that is the biggest most concrete “this is what is actually happening” update I have seen. I don’t think anyone on this list is a surprise (Satterfield is to me a bit just to see they already scheduled with him but not a few others, but I have heard his name tossed around..), and it seems to indicate “where there is smoke there is fire” when it comes to this search. I am not terribly upset about any of these options... Monken is a stretch, I don’t think anyone expects us to hire an option guy and I would be shocked if they offered Freeze because of character issues in his past, but do not know the future and cannot say with confidence if he would win here or not. I am less excited by/impressed Satterfield(edit-fixed it Okla!) than the other coaches on this list personally, but even so he is not a terrible option!
Notable names missing?
Anybody surprised by the speed/lack of speed in their movement?
Anybody surprised by any names mentioned in this update?
I can only assume Napier’s covid diagnosis coupled with his pursuit of a conf championship has slowed progress with him...
He also says things should really ramp up after Thanksgiving. It has been tossed around that a deadline for the hire would be around the early signing date but as was discussed in another thread recently- that does not mean we are likely to get a guy on board in time to meaningfully affect the signings we make in that early period..
