If December 8th is the timeline then more names should be floating around in the next few days. It’s been very quiet with the few I know around the program. Maybe that means some names will surface soon. Is anyone concerned the APR issue will keep candidates away? What was said on here and as I understand the team is on a self imposed probation over the next two years. Something like mandatory in person study hall every week in place of a practice (among a few other stipulations). If that’s three hours, then in-season that amounts to a full day the staff loses to meet/watch film or practice. Might not be a deal breaker for many, but I think some will be cautious of that.
In the recent article, Bubb mentioned academics. So it sounds like Hendrickson inherited a really bad APR situation and made it worse. APR doesn’t turn around overnight. That makes this less likely to be a stepping stone job as some indicate they’re fine with. Anyone else think this could come up?

As much fun as it is to speculate a lot of times the person who gets a head job is someone no one has really talked about
I think it's one of several things candidates will discover when they get to "look under the covers' at the program. I will also say though, that I doubt we are the only school in this situation. The NCAA really needs to look at how they calculate APR. Schools should still be responsible for education of their student athletes, but the NCAA can't hold schools responsible in the same way they did before they created the portal.axe_co17 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 28, 2023 9:50 pm If December 8th is the timeline then more names should be floating around in the next few days.

Yes - I am certain he is part of the committee and has inside knowledge.
From my players perspective - it’s just business as usual. With the season over it’s just weights and study hall now. There is more optimism that things will improve, but also support for their teammates who want to leave.

My only concern is getting a retread who’s a retread for a reason
I saw standout LB Jason Williams commented on the prairie state article Facebook link. He said “just make sure there is a spot for me”
I think getting him on staff in any capacity would be a great hire. Strength and conditioning. Linebackers.

I just saw that on FB as well! That would be super exciting!
