CC: Blankenship out at Tulsa

Submitted by Laser Wolf on
Bill Blankenship is out at Tulsa. This does not affect us if we are targeting Harbaugh or Miles, but if we start going down the chain to coordinators this could be impactful. The Tulsa job is reportedly very attractive to young coaches. Tom Herman is an early name in the lead.

OOH, I do not need to read every forum post that is irrelevant.

OTOH, I am compulsively unable to resist any CC: post whatsoever, including anything irrelevant.

More moderation from posters is requested, so that us addicts won't have to read this drivel.

And in the meantime -- anyone know how to get a bag of spare F5 keys?  Cuz, I think I'll need them in December.

To help with this, of course, we've started to remove - in order to spare some space for those rare non-CC threads - the ones which were meant as a joke (unless good effort was put in, of course), ones for coaches in other sports, fictional characters, etc... Still, it will not alleviate the problem of obsessively refreshing to see which ones appear, although the reason the mods do it is perhaps slightly different (well, no, I want to know too usually).

You're underestimating the problem. The food catering contract was signed months ago, and Hackett is worried that he'll have to deal with a mountain of uneaten chicken parmesan, overcooked brussels sprouts, stale rolls, and a small lake of box wine and cheap beer if he cans the staff prior to the banquet.

I pretty clearly stated that this will affect us if we have to go the coordinator route. Chad Morris has already been picked off by SMU. Tom Herman could be next, who was espoused as a promising candidate around these parts.

Yes.  Which is why this post is ridiculous.  If we decided Tom Herman was the guy we really wanted, and we called him to say "Hey Tom, instead of being the HC at fucking Tulsa, would you like about 2 million a year more to be the HC at Michigan?"  The answer would be a resounding yes.  

And if Herman is our pick, he'll likely know about it sooner rather than later, or at least that he's in the hunt.  And if he's in the hunt at Michigan, I bet he doesn't settle for Tulsa.  He's a pretty smart guy, after all.
