Some think Monday on this board is the day but how would you feel if it went longer?

To me it's pretty crazy that they could hire a coach so quickly. It seems that the candidate would have to get so many things in order before making a decision.

The way things work today, Monday sounds about right. If we don't announce then, it probably means either nobody made Mack tingle or there is a combo plan working to keep someone from the previous staff on with the new coach. Personally, I would want to set foot on the campus before I said yes, not sign a deal in a conference room in another state. Let's never forget Rudy Feldman. There probably aren't any more Grant Teaffs waiting in the wings to rescue us.

It probably means negotiations are stuck on an item or that the target needs to handle some business [notify their team] before the presser. Private planes make it easy but students doing virtual learning means gathering people may take a day.

To me it would mean nobody is interested in working for Rhodes

Add some cream, it will cut the bitterness.

You mean what if this takes more than a week? I expected it to. Unless you promote from within it usually does everywhere. It took Texas longer than a week to get Beard and he was their top target and that was his dream job.

It means targets 1-3 weren't tempted and we will hire within.

I am not a Mack hater, but the longer it goes on while Mack emphasized a fast-moving search, the worse it looks for him and BU.

Don't mean nothin', man.
But you can rest assured that any candidate meriting this job will be asking lots of questions regarding WBB culture and relationships at BU. The way this divorce occurred makes a thoughtful soul ask questions.

Mack said by next next week. Doesn't mean Monday, although there are folks hoping it's Monday.

And if it does, I think it's only because of contract negotiations. I also think that if an inside hire was chosen, it would have been announced by now.
Mack and Baylor cannot afford losing anymore players to the portal.

It means I'll still be spending an inordinate amount of time on these boards searching for any tidbit of progress.

It's not going past Monday at 2 pm.

Let's say that's the case : If the Coach is from another P-5 school, they would be informing their current team today ( as Kim did).....the press would probably get some tip of this....we'd more likely than not begin seeing Tweets from players....If the Coach is already on staff, the AD may be able to preserve silence, and we might not get word until tomorrow... This all obviously presumes DD is correct...Am I completely off base on this?

I am pretty sure we will not have a coach on Monday.

Well..it was kinda fun attempting to sleuth around a bit.. :-)

My own feeling is if we get past Monday, it will be Tuesday. Past Tuesday, I understand it will be Wednesday. That's just my personal opinion, though.

You must've had Bob Baird for Logic! :-)

Are we going to have to settle for a fifth or sixth choice? All I have heard is Coaches taking themselves out of the running.

Beard's buy out dropped significantly on 4/1/21, I think Texas had him locked and ready to go before that based on all the transfer portal activity.

All I hear is crickets. I thought we were an elite program.

I'm sure no qualified candidate out there would be interested in making 7 figures as the head coach of a program that has been to 4 Final Fours and won 3 Nattys in the last 16 years while thoroughly dominating a Power 5 conference over the course of the last decade. Woe is us.

Yep we are not giving you the keys to a AMC Gremlin. We are giving you the keys to a fully loaded Ferrari F8.

The problem is, there aren't that many quality candidates out there that can drive it. Way too much car.

A fast decision is not always a good one. Offers are complicated and are worked through agents and attorneys. Contracts are reviewed and signed. Gosh, some of you think we should offer someone, they say yes and we have a press conference. I guarantee our AD and President worked on this all weekend. Give them a break. What difference does it make if it Monday this week or Monday next week. Regardless of the hire, get it right. The majority on this board on not going to accept ANY decision made other than Kim coming back.

It means that Mack is doing what he is supposed to do.

He may be taking a second run at candidates that appear to be out of the running.
Negotiations like this plus keeping them a secret take a lot of care and finessing.

So I think Monday is way too soon for the kind of hire Mack is trying to make.

I agree.

It could be...everyone knows that if you win big time at Baylor...they will get rid of you!

Let's see....Briles gone, Mulkey gone. Drew next?

It means to me that this is a very risky hire and Mack does not have many high value options. Unless he can get a Joni Taylor or an Adia Barnes, who is he going to get? C'mon. Let's be honest. Who is out there that will fit Baylor and has the resume' to hold this roster together and keep our recruiting on par with what we have been getting? I don't see that coach out there. The "Molly's" of the coaching world are a big risk for Mack. Yes, they may get some people excited a little at first. But if we are something like 16-6 going into a place like Austin next year or two and lose? And/or Vic wins the Big 12? This program will be in rapid trouble of losing recruits like no tomorrow. I believe we are that fragile because the expectations are simply too high. Too many have been spoiled. I hope I am wrong.

Mack our 2 star athletic director felt pretty good staring mulkey down in their meeting . I imagine reality is setting in about now and he is in full panic mode trying to find a replacement that won't make him look like a complete dumbass. He will be infamous for this fiasco.

Mulkcult continues to act as though she was fired when she left of her own volition because she didn't want to coach at Baylor anymore.
