3 pm
-JGT still at 90% Boom to AU
- Trusted AU sources say deal in place
-not yet confirmed by independent trusted sources

-JGT was near 100% last night and almost posted Boom AU DC story then
-Would be sweating now because of Houston if he did
-Houston had not offered Boom as of 2 pm
-believed Boom is not Houston's #1 choice
via PM and JGT
-Houston had not offered Boom a job as of last night per PM
-Tempted to go > 90% on Boom to DC at AU
-thinks SC is out
-Houston is in the hunt but don't know how legitimately
-UH would pay him less than AU and can't afford top quality assistants
-People JGT knows at SC always felt AU leads for Boom
via JGT
-Boom is expected to make a choice one way or the other by tomorrow per PM

-Per the SC 247 site Carolina has indeed offered Boom a promise to be the new HC following the OBC
-SC feels better about their chances the past 48 hours
-believes negotiations with Boom are done for the most pat and now just waiting on his decision

-Gus wants a DC by Monday
-Boom still has not given a timeframe for his decision to anyone
-Gus still has not even slightly pressed Boom for a decision date understanding how Boom needed to decompress from his UF job because he put everything in it
-Boom would have full control on D (Everything from recruiting & D staff to practice proceedures and strategy)
-Offer is likely around $1.5 mil
-No agreement yet with Boom
-JGT still 90% confident on Boom to AU
-strictly opinion is Boom does not want to do NFL
-Carolina in 2nd place right now for Boom
-a handshake agreement to replace the OBC as HC when he is dome still could change things
-it's a long term gamble SC is thought not to take
-Don't count out SC though
via JGT
12/10
-Likely no announcement Thursday

-No deal or agreement in with Boom yet
-may drag on if we don't get Boom
-There are other back up candidates with Odom & Clark but the names are not known
JGT says his confidence in Boom being the new AU DC is in the 90% range.
-Would be surprised if AU's DC search is not over before the end of the week, w/ or w/out Boom
-Gus's and or his people have been in touch with Boom and or his people the past 24 hours

-Timetable on Boom decision is hard to pin down but Thursday is a guess
All per JGT
12/7
Spurrier on their coaching situation FWIW
"Not this week, no," Spurrier said, when asked if there are any announcements coming soon. "All of our coaches are under contract for this year. Unless they find another job somewhere, we’re all status quo until whatever happens, happens. When the bowl games over, we’ll see where we’re at. If we need to add or not add, we’ll do it then."
12/6
TAMU is out of the Boom race per JGT and if Carolina actually offers HCIW that may change everything as nobody anticipated Carolina doing that at the beginning of the process per PM.
12/4
latest per PM
-Boom will be the new DC barring an unexpected change in events (gone from likely Boom to confident Boom to be DC.)
-could be a week or more before AU announces a new DC
-may hear reports on other interests from schools but that will not change the Boom to AU element
-Would be a surprise at this point if Boom is not the DC
Boom offer thought to be $1.5 mil per PM
JGT and PM both have the order being
1. Boom
2. Barry Odom
3. Bill Clark
Latest per JGT
-Formal offer has been made to Boom (at least $1.2 mil)
-TAMU has made a big $ offer also
-2 NFL teams have extended provisional offers (no specific teams mentioned)
-Boom has not told any team his long term plans
-Gus still willing to wait for now but will make a hire no later than next week
-Former Prattville, USA, Jax St, and UAB coach Bill Clark is gaining momentum as a major candidate if Boom is not the guy.
-Memphis DC Barry Odom remains a candidate
Boom is not in a hurry to make a decision about a new job per a source close to him via PMarsh. Gus is not in a hurry as well and is focused on making his first set of visits with recruits this week per PMarsh.
-definitely mutual interest with Boom and Gus per PMarsh
-Boom was slow playing TAMU & Carolina because AU was his top choice per JGT
-Garner is staying per both PMarsh and JGT
-Cheese and Smith likely out per JGT
-T Rob would be highly likely if Boom is hired and would still be very interested in AU even if Boom is not the DC per PMarsh
-Team meeting today, 2nd one in 2 days. JGT saysthe meeting today could be about a new DC
All FWIW but I figured I would share anyway

Team meeting today. Innuendo from a big time booster, said Gus always has gotten who he wanted. This was in response to a direct a boom question.

Thanks. Forgot to add that to the OP.

I'm feeling more and more certain Muschamp is coming back. It's going to be Bruce Pearl feelings all over again, except we'll have a bowl game to get a slight idea of what to expect.

We have some damn good coaches on the plains these days.

I couldn't wait to get on here this morning and read the latest on this. You guys never disappoint

I'm slowly buying in.

This pleases me. It really seems like Gus wants to have a DC that he can just say go do your thing. I want to coach our offense. That side of the ball is yours.

Dream team of college football if this turns true

Yea not getting my hopes up. Just seems too good to be true. We'll probably end up with chizik

True, but he wants one where that will work

Some questions if we hire Muschamp:
1. Tell me about his defensive scheme. Will it be easier for players to pick up than Johnson's 4-2-5?
2. How will the scheme fit the players we already have on campus and current 2015 recruits?
3. Are there current Florida recruits who will follow Muschamp to AU?
4. What are the chances he coaches in the bowl game and will our D be a hybrid of what they've been playing and Muschamp's or will he install his scheme before?

FSU's 247 said if Muschamp goes to Auburn, 5* DE Byron Cowart would likely follow
