Panther Skin: I have some sources very close to this decision and they said there is a lot of separation between the people who are supposed to make this hire, AD/School Board/Administration.
I have heard this.
Also several players are claiming if their guy isn’t hired they won’t play next year (that is a rumor, but I have heard it from several people so it seems to have legs).
This has no credibility. It’s not happening, whoever you heard that from doesn’t know Jack squat about this program. Those kids are going to work their tails off regardless of who steps in as the new football coach. Whoever the new Coach is, isn’t bringing in a new style, system, approach, or whatever you want to call it. He’s buying into the system that’s already here, he has to conform to the standard of the program.
