Just trying to connect the dots here. The guy who usually feeds me some information has been pretty quiet on the coaching search (unlike on Buzz leaving), so I don't have any inside information on it, but...
I just got a text from a different friend who claims to have heard 2nd hand from Broeker that an agreement was reached with whomever the next coach is going to be yesterday. With MUAve, Keefe, and Goose all mentioning Wednesday in some way or another, Kearney having been rumored to be announced as the Pres on Wednesday at some point on here, and BigDaddy telling us that Shaka is still option #1 and will be at least into tomorrow, if there was an agreement reached yesterday, is Shaka the only option? If so, could it really be done and the Wednesday timeline is right? To add to it, if you look at our Compliance Coordinator's Twitter she responded to Gotlieb's guy stating that we weren't under NCAA Investigation. Look at the conversation that follows. Eventually, he asks her who the new coach will be, and she responds, "Ahh (yawns)...look at the time! Time to go to bed!:) Stay tuned, my friend!" Sounds like she may have known something or it would've been "Nothing has been determined"...
So, does the athletic department already know who the coach will be? I hope so, because that means it's most likely either Shaka or Howland.

I think most of us when thinking about it reasonably feel that all that smoke was there for a reason. Either smoke caused by HAVOC, or a smokescreen for Howland.
When this initially broke remember....
Leak Monday, Press Conference Wednesday.
I am still in that camp.

Why can't I just accept this and be done with Scoop till tomorrow?
I like where your heads at WW, but I am not going to get all worked up about it until something is announced by someone of real stature. Fingers crossed it is Smart or Howland.

If Howland came in asking for too much, with all the Shaka noise, he may have lowered his price, especially if MU took a while to return his phone calls.
Looks like Wednesday presser is a Done Deal.
It's good theory and you've done a nice job of sifting through a ton of information, but...it's still just a theory.
I want to punch the next person that says "done deal."

Wednesday presser to announce the new president but what about the coach?
I will say, in snooping on the VCU boards last night, I was struck by how many posts used complete sentences without any memes or gifs. It's like they don't even know how to communicate on the interwebs.

OK, OK, calm down KW. I was venting on reporters via the keyboard. Very testy scoopers today.
How many more times will there be a "done deal" announcement?

No, that's Brett figuring out how many seconds he's been in Blacksburg
I gotta say the "Brett" references immediately calls Brett Favre to mind.

I like this logic. Wednesday is D-Day.

Hope so. Hope IWB is right. Just don't understand IF everyone knew the announcement would be Wednesday, why bother putting it out there on Monday or leaking it on Monday?
My theory, IWB was hired as a diversion by MU Athletics while they are secretly negotiating with Doc Rivers to come back to MU. ;)

Agree, and as much as I'm sure many fans were frustrated with how he and the Packers parted ways, he is one of the all time greatest sports figures of the great state of Wisconsion.
Buzz Williams could never throw touch down passes while sending d!ck pics to female sideline reporters. Let's not forget that.
Big daddy? The guy who told us about the great davante news a few years ago..
Davante maybe playing today... Over a month later, still not playing.

Frankly, I don't see why everybody pretends to be so outraged by his cell phone pics. Who cares?
I'm a Bears fan and I love him. I was hoping the Packers would sign him last year!

Time to call Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy. Ask them to take an SUV to Shaka's house to tell him and his wife there is no longer a need for him.
Oh wait....bad analogy.

Who is your source?
Chris Mack of ACC Sports reporting that Wake and Chris Mack have been talking but he also said....
"I also heard from a couple of different inside sources to Wake that the primary targets without a doubt are: Shaka Smart, Gregg Marshall and Ben Howland. If that is true then it is certainly a step in the right direction and means that the administration is willing to dish out the money to the big guns to be successful."
We better not delay too much longer because if Wake is indeed willing to finally pay what it takes, the ACC has great allure these days, even to lesser programs as we recently found out.

So he could say he was the first to report it and get more paying customers for his inside info.
