Ethan Joyce reporting that the board of trustees will have a meeting on Thursday. We have a coach. Now who is it?

I know it is. I commend DG and app athletics for being so tight lipped. Not a single credible leak though this process.

I assume the BOT thing is just a formality. Will there be an announcement prior to Thursday? Or at least a leak?

I was told not to say anything until tomorrow when I heard this morning but it is indeed a coach. The person would not tell me flat out who it was but gave a couple hints that leads me to believe it is indeed Josh Gattis. Their hint was a assistant coach from the south. Gattis fits that criteria but could also be one of ours.

I'm wondering if it is Gattis or Ivey? Only thing with Ivey is I would think that they would wait until after the bowl game to see what he does before they offer it to him?

Gattis fits that criteria. They also said they are coming from a football power program.

I really like Gattis at this point. My only hesitation is that he would leave quickly but hopefully if he does what I think we should do in 2019 and 2020 I won't be upset by it.
That could also be Horton,possibly woody although he is a coordinator, McNeil, who has spent time in the south, don’t know where he is actually from. Ledford, if Louisville was a leak to show our hand...
If someone is being vague, it could be any of the candidates that have been mentioned this far...

If it is Gattis, I hope we were adamant that he keep our defensive scheme.

Although, since he knows more about football in his pinky finger than i can ever know, i'm sure he took one look at our results and personnel, and came to the same conclusion himself.

I think he brings the most excitement, even with the risk/reward of hiring a 1st time coach

I may have to change my pants....

See, I was thinking it was an internal if they announced before the Bowl game, or an external who was committed to keeping a few key internals.

Interesting follow up tweet from Ethan. “Conditions of appointment” right above it essentially means promotion if I’m understanding legal-ese correctly. Seems like a covering of all bases, wording wise.

I was thinking at this point that it would be announced after the bowl game period.

Gattis wasn't even on short list. I'm still thinking it is Horton or Searles.
