We aren't screwed, but there are no excuses left. If no press conference by Thursday, then, yes, we are screwed.

If you guys would read the rivals board you would know that you should calm down

is there a secret rivals message board I am unaware of? Otherwise, I will say there is absolutely ZERO information on there the makes me feel any better.

Steve O. doesn't send you guys a nightly recap? Must not be at the proper Mustang Club level?

Why on Thursday???? Is the world going to end?? There is plenty of talent out there and the trick is to find that right person. Just because a person is not immediately known on this board does not mean anything. Even the best of the current crop of top coaches had to start somewhere and be given a chance. IMO we need to either go after a current top established coach and lure him away from his program and/or find a bright, energetic young assistant with recruiting skills and reasonable experience. The last thing we need is another experienced veteran coach who has essentially failed, has baggage or has been very average at a number of other programs.

I think the reason to have a coach by Thursday is to give a chance for the new coach to assemble a good coaching and get ready to recruit by the next Monday when the recruiting period starts. If we do not hire a coach by then we will lose valuable time in recruiting. It will be doing a disservice to the coach if we do not have him in place this week.

I will repost if I can figure out how to share it...

I did one season as head coach of an Upward Basketball team. I'd be willing to give it a shot for a season.

Chicken Little says the deadline is Monday morning at 7am CT. If we do not announce the new coach, all is lost and we shutter the program. Make sense?
