Is tomorrow D-day?

[Groin_pull]

For some reason, hints have been dropped that Wednesday is the big day.

Are we expecting to finally get some news...or even (gulp) a new coach?

[Shark]

I think that at the very least we'll know if Shaka is interested or not. Other than that who knows.

[klyrish]

Probably gonna be a presser for the women's track & field banquet.

Just heard CBS 58 say there's a big announcement coming tomorrow at MU. They mentioned Pilarz so I'm assuming a new president will be named.

[Goose]

IMO it is D Day for SS for becoming coach. New President and SS would be nice announcement.

[deep vacuum]

My guess?

New President is announced 5PM Wednesday.  Give the new guy a whole day to bask in the attention.  Maybe even announce a new AD as well.  Show off the new regime.

My dream scenario?

My dream scenario has Shaka or Howland announced as mens BB coach 5PM Thursday.  Give ESPN and everybody else something to talk about just before Bucky kicks off their S16 game against Baylor.  Even if Bucky wins they have to share the spotlight with MU.  All recruits decide that they really want to stay.

I keep getting toyed with.  You're still on the SS will become MU's coach bandwagon?  Yesterday it seemed only a matter of time.  Today it seemed no chance.  But then I've been getting texts.  I know he has at least discussed a contract with Marquette.  You would think if there is 0 chance he, his wife, or somebody within VCU's athletic department would have mentioned something about him staying by now.  I don't know what to think.

I still think SS becomes our next coach. Obviously the delay worries anyone not intimately involved, which I am not. Probably very few people know if he is signed or not.

Hasn't a Wednesday announcement been consistent the entire time though?  Much of the specualtion has suggested Shaka will be hired with an announcement coming Wednesday?

[Daniel]

If the new President is announced tomorrow, there is no way we will hear anything else about ADs or coaches that might steal the thunder.  Minimally we wait until Thursday.  What a week

tv, website, twitter???  should be interesting one way or another.

Unless, of course, Shaka is the president.

This is the part I find at least a little odd. May be it isn't. Maybe they are working on an extension that isn't final. Maybe he/they really don't need to say anything. I don't know. It just seems that Shaka has something cooking. May not be with MU, but something.

It was on TV after good old Wheel of Fortune.

Goose, not worried or not intimately involved?

damn it...the one night i don't watch :-)

[2012 Warrior]

I have pained myself in refreshing as much as the next guy here but we really don't need to badger Keefe and Goose.  They have given us more then we can ask for/all they can.  Take what they've said for what it is.

Joint announcement. Wardle coach and mu moving to horizon

No, I can say without exposing any insiders that I have not been involved in any contract talks with any potential coaches. Worried? Sure, I want it over like everyone else. Blown two days of work, been bashed on here and been texted to death. I hope, and believe, we get our guy.

If not, lot of great guys wanting the job.

You have a better chance of giving up the sauce than Brian becoming the HC.

In hoping president and impact hire

[mr.MUskie]

You mean we still have 17 hours or so for wild speculation?  Woo hoo!

[Galway Eagle]

Or maybe just switch it to anything but that! Yikes.
