Why do so many people expect an announcement today?

[Juro]

This is correct, I saw the first one but don’t know if the second exists

The 2nd one would be a time and location. I don't think they would send that out unless it's within 24 hours of the actual press conference.

The rumors about A&M also have to give Rhule more leverage. I don't think anyone believes Franklin would go to Auburn - if you look at a 12 team playoff landscape, he has a chance to get there fairly regularly out of the B1G. Probably little chance at Auburn. But if A&M opens, Rhule likely would be a candidate there, and they would consider him more strongly than Auburn would. They would also go after Kiffin, though - IMO.

If Texas A&M hired Matt Rhule they would probably riot. They will be after a much bigger fish than him.

I still think Rhule is announced on Saturday with a welcoming PC on Sunday.

I don't think it would be Lane due to him probably going to Auburn.

If aTm decided to send Jimbo to West Virginia, I honestly don't know who they would have on their board. Rhule, if still available, would be a candidate, but not the highest on the board. Gotta think Deboer would. Prime would be.

I think Rhule would be a very strong candidate at A&M. Not that A&M would need any help with recruiting, but Rhule developed very strong ties throughout the HS FB community during his time in TX. He’d be able to leverage those existing connections and win at a significant clip there.

This. If the aTm job opens up, Rhule will be interested in it just for that reason. But will they be interested in him?

This A&M thing is why people get antsy. If Rhule was really your number one choice, it would have been a good idea to take him off the board.

I think he’s already been taken off the board privately.

A$M would throw the bank at Urb.

Maybe but I'm sure he can still get out. Better to have him publicly accept

This...gotta believe Rhule is plan C for those lunatics in CS.

 

[Walter Sobchak]

Well, that explains why the AD reserved Champions Club.

It's not at the champions club

[Fargo Husker]

I've become resigned to having to wait until after Cockeye for the coach announcement.

Also, I just don't see any way that Jimbo gets fired at A&M. I know they are crazy and have insane money, but $84 million is sooooooo much money to pay someone to leave. My feel is that they'll force wholesale staff changes on him including an OC that will take play-calling duties away from him.

Possible the Champions club got rented for these meetings to take place so they aren’t in plain sight at the stadium for people to potentially see roll in?

Couldn't they see them roll in to Champions Club?

Yesterday was the football banquet.

 

[blackshirt98]

You can park underneath at the Champions Center, and if it's blocked off - no you couldn't. You wouldn't have to walk someone in through the offices. And the Football Banquet was not at the Champions Center I thought someone posted.

There was a banquet. I speculated that maybe that’s why Champions Center was reserved. It was pure speculation.

Doubt it will be today if you are looking for splash and people talking about with the USA playing their first WC match at 1 pm. Right in the window of an announcement.

Nobody cares about soccer.
