Somehow UF fires McElwain before Butch Jones is fired at UT. I am thinking Jones is fired as soon as tomorrow. Obviously Florida was trying to jump to the front of the line to hire their next guy. If Mullen has a good relationship with Stricklin, he will be on their short list. There are conflicting reports about that. So that is UF, UT, for sure. Possibly A&M, State (if Mullen goes to UF), Arkansas (because big Bret can't play us every week). If Auburn collapses down the stretch, that is also a possible opening. These openings are just in the conference. There will be tons of others, Nebraska is open. Unless we do a great job of finding a diamond in the rough, we will be way down the pecking order on being able to hire a coach. Without probation, making $5 mil a year and living in Oxford without massive pressure isn't bad. But that is without probation. V Tech was really smart when they hired Fuente, they did it quick so bigger schools couldn't come in on him late. If we wait too long, we probably are not going to be happy with the selection.
Definitely not going to be a good year to be looking for a coach with all the big time potential openings. I'm also curious as to which of these big time schools will scoop up HDN now that he got his apology from Ole Miss. After all, wasn't that the only thing keeping him behind a desk...

We should hear about our sanctions within the next 2 weeks. Expect us to hit the ground running after that...preliminary groundwork already being done.
"Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do!"
Our officials think we're hear something next week. Some idiot journalist think it'll be after the egg bowl. If we get it next week, I feel good about the outcome. After egg, we're in big trouble. But we better have some names ready to try to hire as soon as coi releases it's decision. Also, on a side note, sure is a lot of rumors about state possibly being looked at by ncaa.

I will believe it when I see it. Lots of rumors that Mullen is headed to Florida, too. Again I will believe it when I see it.
