And the 2 times I can remember leaks happening prematurely, we got the Gary Kubiak and Butch Jones situations.Searching the interwebs for news articles from 20+ years ago is hard, but
Last time we hired a coach from the Big 10, there were very strong, very credible statements that he was not leaving; up to, and including, that coach telling players on his team that he would be coaching them the next year.
I was pissed because he was my #1 choice to become the new coach at CU.
And then, about a week later, he was named coach at the University of Colorado.
So I think the lesson here is to hire from the Big 10 and be patient.
