Whoa Nellie. Hold your horses. We are still in rumor stage here.
Embrace the pace of the race.

Randy Ball did the same thing when he left Western to go to Southwest Missouri State. Western then hired Don Patterson to replace Randy Ball.

He didn't tell his players? Sorry, but that's cowardly if true.

AJ Blazek just tweeted - "awesome team meeting tonight with Coach Nielson"

Fair enough. I have not seen any official announcement yet from either USD or Western.

Also, I have no idea what this means in the context of all that is going on...

I assume #itcomeswithwinning is a reference to other programs wanting your coaches as you build a winning program. Unless he uses that phrase often, that is.

That tweet is subject to some serious interpretation. A rumor is nothing but a rumor and Coach N is still our coach until an official announcement comes, if it ever does come.
Embrace the pace of the race.

He does, I think he uses that on a lot of his tweets.

I also want to apologize for my previous comments...with no official comment from either of the universities involved or Coach N himself, this is still just a rumor. I will go unflip the table now. ┬─┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ)
