I don't know who/what to believe anymore....

Step back from the edge people.  Hint: More than a few of these people are guessing or just living off of others information which is of varying quality and freshness in the first place.  

I will say that if Matthew McConaughey backs out, and the Friday Night Lights coach has to wait until UNC's season is over, I hope we offer everything including the kitchen sink to Willie Fritz now that the Iowa St job isn't going his way.

Where I work, we have an entire fridge of just alcohol for events we host.  Going through this all day and staying away from that fridge has been the biggest exercise in self-restraint of my life...

[UNTflyer]

We are going to F*(% this all up!

Interesting tweet from this hour from somebody claiming to be Meacham's nephew: "Doug is my uncle, and the report is false, he hasn't been offered the job."

Interesting tweet from this hour:

If I'm not mistaken his wife's last name is Deas. That is interesting.

Solid find and best investigative reporting of the day I must say.

True. This link says he's married to "the former Kendall Deas."

To be honest, I think I saw a FB post of hers by coincidence on a TCU post or something. Promise I'm not creeping. 

[UNTflyer]

Hasn't even been offered the job.....

Probably the best candidate on the table, and we HAVEN'T EVEN OFFERED HIM THE JOB?!?!?!

Exactly.  Very discouraging, unless we have an ace up the sleeve.

[Christopher Walker]

You surely jest.

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

I wasn't around the board for the Dodge and McCarney hires, was it as stupid as this? I can't imagine it was even close to this level of chaos. 

[UNT90]

Like there was ever a question.

Va. Tech knew they had to move quickly and did. 

This is what having an idiot for an AD gets you.

I don't think we got a list of actual, interviewing candidates. I think we just woke up one day and got press releases.

[golfingomez]

Let's all be honest with ourselves here... 

 

RV has already made the selection and the coach has already accepted... the AD is just waiting until Friday afternoon at 4:30PM to make the announcement. That way it gets the smallest amount of media coverage possible

[UNTflyer]

More likely.....

Mac: there was speculation about many, many other coaches and then suddenly a name no one had ever even suggested is being announced as our head coach.

Dodge: there was early, wild and rampant speculation that a deal was being worked out with Dodge.  No one else was even seriously  bandied about.

Dickey: One day Helwig came out and dropped a carved stone tablet at our feet with one name on it:

 

Simon: He owned some pastureland we wanted to turn into a dorm and so we traded him the head coaches job for it.

[Wag Tag]

It makes sense he has not been offered the job. Only way he says no to UNT is if Patterson is looking to move on and he gets the HC which i dont see happening! TCU can offer Cumbie stability and the $. Texas can only offer one.

Next Texas coach is Herman!

I feel like it'll be some rando HS coach at this point.

[UTSA Fan]

Wow, this whole thing is crazy. I can't decide whether to laugh expecting RV to put a hold on the search to perform further due diligence to ensure the right fit is ensured or cry because this is way to critical of a hire to mess up.

[EagleMBA]

Exactly.  Very discouraging, unless we have an ace up the sleeve.

This is the only "ace" I see here:
