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.

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
