No idea....maybe they couldn't come to terms on $ with Yelk....or maybe Nielson/USD made him a solid offer.
I don't have any idea, but this is not what we needed right now.

I wasn't opposed to looking externally for a new HC (see my earlier comment on Hecklinski), but it doesn't look good to outside "viewers" (ie, HS coaches, new recruits, parents, etc.) that they said they were probably going to have everything together today, strong rumors of someone being hired, and then...as was described by some..."everything going sideways" and now having to do a national search.

Definitely bites. I was hoping that things would go as smoothly as possible.

Would be great to have a Leatherneck alum as coach, but who knows?

I'd love to know the inside scoop....

My guess is USD is snagging most of the assistants, too. Including Yelk.

Hecklinski jumps to the top of my list.

At least the interim AD doesn't have to worry about any of this. I guess he is just hoping this situation will resolve itself and he can enjoy his vacation.

Which was followed up with someone else asking "seems fast. Bringing everyone with him from WIU?"
So, yea...sounds like he's making offers to everyone.
