Please do not listen to the national goofs. IWB has a better handle on this than the national guys. A few reasons (which also explain IWB's silence):
1. Many, many coaches are trying to get involved. They do that by floating their names. Has MU talked to (fill in the blank): yes, they have. Either the coach or his agent has called and talked to Mike Broeker. It means nothing. You could take today's JS article about Howland and change the name with more than 20 college basketball coaches.
2. Only three people and Fr. Wild know what is going on. Those three people aren't talking about it, even to good friends. It has to be close to the vest or it is a circus.
3. If a coach's name is being floated right now, it is probably too late.
4. Mike Broeker, for years, has been in touch with college coaches (head and assistant) for just these times. He has a very good understanding of who these people are and who would fit. He basically vets coaches all the time regardless of circumstance, though perhaps not formally. We are in great hands with all the work Broeker has done over the years preparing for this moment. He has taken an approach of "protecting our asset" and he was ready when this hit the fan. He should be our permanent athletic director.
5. Based on everything we know we are going to get an excellent head coach. Don't believe anything any national writer says about who leads and who the top candidate might be. They have no inside information. If any national group would get the information leaked from the MU side, it would likely be Fox related. The guy who is getting the job will not leak (see Bob Knight and Bucky).
