Other boards will shovel any kind of rumor. Clay, Dudley, Scottie and Matt don’t traffic in rumors. Dudley has acknowledged some of the rumors that are out there, but he’s not promoting them.
Even if we had a deal with a coach, we aren’t going to announce it today. We would wait until tomorrow so we could get some better pub. Today is all about the trip to the Final Four.
It’s more than just an aching back. Matta has a foot that doesn’t work any more because of nerve damage, and is very painful on top of that. He had to wear a brace on that leg to stand and walk for years, but the pain became too great.
I continue to believe that HY has a plan, I can’t begin to think that he would fire Mike with no idea who the next coach was going to be. Tomorrow through Wednesday will tell the story, if we don’t have a coach named by Wednesday I will be convinced that Beard is the man and we are opening the bank to get him. WPS
