. YES . When THE KNOWLEDGE makes a post on these very pages, it is usually one of the most viewed (if you doubt it, check back in a few days for how popular this post is) . yes . despite this, some people still seem to take the predictions of THE KNOWLEDGE lightly, and assume I'll be wrong. Well, you know what happened . THE KNOWLEDGE has been basking in glory the last few days after the correct prediction that Shafer will be let go . yes . this time, THE KNOWLEDGE is back with inside info on the D-ccordinator choices. At this point, some of the info can be released and some now . yes . Here's what went down . Originally, three guys were talked to about the job. One was a longshot, and he has turned it down. The other was relatively less longshot, and it appears he's mostly out as well. The third is still in contention . The Longshot: Pittsburgh's D-coordinator (no, not U Pitt, but the Pitt Steelers) - Dick Lebeau. It is well known that DL has had some interest in the college game for a while, but with his Pitt D working so well, and the way he's entrenched there, it was not possible to get him. RR talked with him, but it didn't work . yes . The lesser longshot: Tommy Tuberville, the ex-coach of the Aubies. He was definitely interested initially, but due to philosophical differences with RR, it appears that he's very unlikely to come here now . yes . the third one is still in contention, and there is a good chance he may be the next DC. Of course, I can't reveal his name now because he's still in the running (otherwise, what's the difference between me and the jackass Herbstreit?). But, you can rest assured that this guy will also make M fans very happy, as I said in my previous post. Suffice to say, his name is NOT one of the ones making rounds in the internet . yes . and if this third guy doesn't work, then Hopson (whom THE KNOWLEDGE alls Hopperson) will be the DC. Sad, but true . yes . . Oh, and Ronald English was never in contention. Have fun at emu, Ronald . yes .
