Prediction

[Goose]

I am sticking with Shaka and saying Martin is second choice. Hope they pull trigger on choice tomorrow and not drag things out.

Take it for what it s worth, but sticking with Shaka.

[texaswarrior74]

Hope you are wrong about Martin

[Hards Alumni]

Your brother tell you?

[LastWarrior]

Howland out or just someone you don't think the BoD will support?

[Shark]

I really don't like this whole Martin hysteria all of a sudden. He's been on the hot-seat all season for a reason.

hAD MARTIN 5TH AND PASTNER 6TH, Howland 3rd many tweets ago. Had Dixon 4th.

[bilsu]

I had not looked at the other threads. I was relieve to find out you were not talking about Frank Martin.

[GooooMarquette]

Hope you are wrong about Martin

Ditto. Howland or Shaka.  One wants it, the other might.  

[Milwarriorkee]

Wha' happened to howland? Man, Martin would be walking into a Sh!tstorm IMO. Hope he doesn't read the internet.

[Wojo'sMojo]

Hope you are wrong about Martin

Hope he is right about Shaka and we don't have to worry about the rest.

[Sharpie]

Wish list:

1. Shaka
2. Howland
3. Dixon
4. Pastner
5. Marshall

*no other realistic candidates besides death after that.

I'll pass on Martin. Not sure why he became 2nd choice all of a sudden.

[nyg]

I think Shaka (if actually offered) turns it down

Howland then accepts.  Thats been the Howland delay, the wait for Shaka. 

[WadeATKBurton]

Wish list:

1. Shaka
2. Howland
3. Dixon
4. Partner
5. Marshall

*no other realistic candidates besides death after that.

I'll pass on Martin. Not sure why he became 2nd choice all of a sudden.

Everyone you named except Howland is not realistic

[Sharpie]

Everyone you named except Howland is not realistic

Take it for what it's worth then.

[Sharpie]

Everyone you named except Howland is not realistic

Plus I said "wish" list.

Realistic other candidates was meant as who I would want other than those named.

[Warriors12]

Dixon has expressed some discontent for the new acc.  New prez with Pitt connections.  I wouldn't say that is a crazy possibility

[WadeATKBurton]

I think Shaka (if actually offered) turns it down

Howland then accepts.  Thats been the Howland delay, the wait for Shaka. 

Agree.

Martin was just about to get the heave ho at Tenn. No way.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

I really hope youre right Goose.

[mr.MUskie]

My prediction: an assistant that no one has mentioned.

[Goose]

My money is Shaka and if Martin I would say it is a not an impact hire, at least on the surface.

[The Lens]

The problem with Howland is while we may want him and the general fan base may want him and even the AD may want him...if 1 or 2 key people who sign the checks don't want, he's not coming.  Sure we can pay 3 million but we need approval and I doubt there's a vote.  I don't have any inside info but obviously Howland comes with baggage.  I think we can all agree Shaka is clean and gets signed off on by all, Ben, who knows?

My prediction: an assistant that no one has mentioned.

You may very well win the chicken dinner!!!! We have certainly seen that plenty of times.

Take it for what it s worth, but sticking with Shaka.

Uggh.  This saddens me.

If Shaka is deliberate as they say he is, one phone call from Lowell (even with Jeter's backing) and a good night's sleep is not going to change his mind.

I will be very, very disappointed if we don't end up with Howland.

[WarhawkWarrior]

Can our moderator put up a poll  to assess the predominant guess at this
point?  Maybe record the votes for later bragging rights?  I think we know where IWB's vote is.
