    That should move the process up a bit for UNI then, especially if they have the same applicants as ND. If it comes to a bidding war, no problems. Off the interview list that was out there, I’d be happy with any of the top 3. So if one goes, still have two good applicants to choose from.

      The rumor posted was for the new coach to be named BY Dec. 5. So he could be named well before ESD.

      As for the 8 recruits waiting, maybe they or their families been contacted through their own rumor mill to hold tight. If the current coaching staff can’t talk to them, doesn’t mean others can’t reach out to them. Besides, if they are local kids they probably aren’t going anywhere else.
      Most are not local kids. A few are.

          Just saw a tweet from out AD saying it's a great day to be a panther.

          I assumed this is what she was talking about.

            They got financial commitments from donors yesterday morning. I'm guessing pen went to paper this morning.

            Dr Franklin is meeting with the team at 2:00.

              • Cole tweeted we should hear something this afternoon after the team meeting

                Comment


                • Cole's tweet makes it sound like Dr. Franklin is meeting with the team, so that leads me to believe the new hire is not in Cedar Falls and probably still actively involved in coaching elswhere this week. Army is hosting the AAC championship game FWIW.

                  I could be reading too much into it.

                  • I'm incredibly impressed that they've kept everything under wraps. That's really hard to do and it shows that boosters really trust her. I know of, at least, one that was willing to kick in more than he'd originally planned to because he believes in her vision.

                      I should note that in addition to Drinkell coaching for Army this week, Chinander and Boise State are also in the MWC Championship game, and Woodley's Grand View team is hosting Northwestern College on Saturday.

                        Is this contract being funded by boosters outside the "normal" athletic dept budget?

                        Was that the case with MF's?

                        ​(I didn't think it was...but admittedly don't know.)

                        • I heard from an Iowa guy that Drinkall possibly removed his name from the running.

                            Mark was fully funded with outside money and that was the plan for, at least, the majority of this salary.

                            Jake, Tanya, Bobbi, Schwab and Bermel are also fully funded with outside money

                                Interesting. I thought Jake was the only one.
