Meacham is the better hire in my opinion. 

[Got5onIt]

Where's Brett at when you need him?

[Rudy]

Is there a chance we find out tonight?

no they aren't interviewing Meacham until Sunday.

Now...I do think George D's Twitter is interesting a few days ago mentioning Littrell. But I still think Meach is the better hire....better for marketing on top of the other pros.

he would be more well known here.  Littrell is well respected nationally.  Either one would be great.  I'm real positive about how either and think they did a good job narrowing it down.

go with Meacham

completely agree. Wonder why Applewhite all of a sudden is out?

I am guessing Littrell beat out Applewhite as one of the two finalist opposite Meacham?

[EagleMBA]

I have a prostate exam early next week with the doc I lovingly call "Fatfinger" and you know what that means.

Coincidence? I think not!!

[MeanGreenTeeth]

Probably because he sucks.

WTF?!  How is he one of your final two, and you still have to have another interview?! So stupid.

Ha.  If this in true (and it is a big if),  my guess is that Littrel was really impressive in the interview and it is up to Meacham to knock him out.  I don't really follow TCU or UNC closely enough to know who'd I'd prefer.  Would Littrel be willing to take a new job prior to the ACC Conference championship or would we have to wait until afterwards?

I don't know how it works in head coaching interviews but a (presumptively second) interview could also just be to affirm their decision. Could tell him he has the job Sunday after making sure.

Or maybe the second interview would involve Smatresk and/or another decision maker.

Yep. My best bet is they do the interview Sunday, sleep on it, and hire Meacham on Monday or Tuesday officially.

And how would RV know something like that?
