Update: update: Now that it seems certain that the Embo is the guy, this thread will now focus on the assistants and various rumors until the staff is complete or near complete. Or I may let it die. Who knows. :lol:

Older Update: Basically, this post tracks all the mentions of who is the leader now. It is ongoing, I will keep posting as things go. Just enjoy the hilarity. This has been ongoing all day/week and shows no signs of slowing down. Any actual "official" scoop will be delayed until reported at multiple sites.

For updates, I will now just edit the last post until I have to make a new one due to word limits. Since, this is now a stickied thread, I will not be posting every time there is an update, so keep refreshing.

Current unconfirmed but obviously true CUHC: Jon Embree.

Current unconfirmed by leading OC: Eric Bienemy

Rest of staff: TBD

I can confirm or deny that it is rumored that each of these people may or may not have gotten a phone call last night or this morning that they did or did not get the job.
 
I can not not not deny nor not not confirm that any of these so called rumors are substantive.
 
update: Now its back to EB with JE closing the gap according to NB and AZ's site. Does this make sense? NO. But is it entertaining? YES.

It's like one of those races they have on scoreboards at sporting events.
 
More like one of those watergun arcade races, with each member of the search committee provided a squirt gun...

More like those Arcade horse races. I think EB just rolled the ball into the "Sprint" hole to take the lead.
 
According to a random guy on the internet on rivals who received a text from an unnamed person, at 6:09 PM on KOA Marc Johnson reported JE was the new coach. I am not making this up. :lol:

Those aren't Les Mile's initials. Just sayin'...
 
I can confirm that I have yet to receive a call from the search committee. :sad1:
 
@6:34: MJ on 850 KOA "A little bit of guessing but educated guessing. Not to be announced until Monday or Tuesday. But just git off the phone with Jon and he hasn't been offered anything yet. EB and Jon right in the middle of this thing." very fluid situation. Square = 1.
 
@6:39... Both Ab Irato and SD Buff (respected posters), say they know NOTHING. More confirmation that no announcement to monday. Plati out of town all weekend. Get ready for blue balls.

@6;40 (not kidding): Random internet poster on AZ's site says its Embree. :lol:

@6:44 Random internet poster on Rivals says talks still ongoing with JE and EB. Person just spoke to JE w/in 20 minutes of posting.

That's it! I am going to Petsmart tomorrow and get the scoop. EB has a sister in law that works there and I am putting an end to all these rumors.
 
@6:54. 644 post on rivals "confirmed" on Az's site. Possibly by same random internet poster.
 
@ about 6:55
@VicLombardi

Like I said all along, the longer this search plays out, the less likely Coach Mac gets the job. Sounds like that ship has sailed.

@6:58
random internet poster on Az's site states as fact that EB is coming as OC.
