re: New Head Coach Thread (Welcome Coach DeBoer)

I know the football job is different from the basketball job and it’s not even really close… but we didn’t hear a peep out of Byrne/the AD until they announced Oats, surprising everyone. It’s been similarly quiet this time around.

I’d be more surprised if he hired someone that’s already been mentioned than someone completely off the radar. DeBoer, Norvell… they just don’t seem to fit for various reasons. I could obviously be wrong, but Byrne isn’t an idiot either. He’s proven to make solid hires thus far, even if replacing Nick Saban is an entirely different situation, I think his process stays somewhat similar.

If they asked for 72 hours, they clearly had a plan of some kind in place. Maybe that plan went to shite, but until proven otherwise, I’ll hold onto the “sky is falling” posts. The thing I feel most confident in at the moment is that everything being thrown at the wall right now is just that, an outlet trying to find something to stick.
