I do not think it will be Chesney based on Wildhack's press conference. He wanted P5 coaching experience either as a head coach or coordinator. You cannot say that and then go off and hire an FCS coach.

Again, not knocking Bob or his future prospects. I think he is a fine football coach. Not the right guy for this job right now.

No I think he said HC or P5 coordinator so Bob is in play

The most important person being quiet right now is Thamel. If Mullen was not a 50/50 shot or more Thamel probably would have ended the “rumor mill.”

You can assume Thamel is hitting up his Syracuse sources, and he's getting nothing in return. They've got this on lockdown. Worst case he's in play, imo. If there was no shot it would be in everyone's best interest to put an end to the rumors.
 
I just boarded a 9.5 hour flight back to the US. I can 100% guarantee a leak when I land in Seattle.

I’m sure the first thing I do when I get my phone on will be to refresh this thread. Btw if anyone is planning to visit Japan they have great deals on whiskey because of the exchange rate. I got a bottle of Arbelour 16 for $78 at the airport… goes for $116 at total wine.
 
Not for nothing but it took me almost 60 minutes to get through the last 20-30 pages while watching the ESPN 2 crew including Matt Barrie, Joey Galloway and Mr Mullen but the last newsworthy note of the 11pm-12am CST segment included a helmet sticker for Kentucky from Matt Barrie for their win and then the breaking news which Mr. Barrie said “From ESPN’s own Pete Thamel, Mark Stoops will be staying at Kentucky and with Joey in the middle of the trio leaning as far back as possible and toward the response of Dan Mullin like an old EF Hutton commercial 50 years ago, Matt leaned fully out of the edge of his seat toward Dan Mullin and practically shouted on the set for the camera something very close to “Are they any more coaching rumors out there that we can address now?” And after a pregnant pause and a funny smiling smirk on Dan’s face Dan said “no, no, I’ve got a job, I am working here now” and stared back at Matt as the the three of the hosts seemed to be enjoying a moment of levity right at the end of the show.
I believe there may be a replay of this portion of the show will air just before 4am EST/1am PST on ESPN if someone would like to record or view the show later. In the interest of time, I thought it was possibly be more important for our collective well being to make this report from memory from over 44X2 minutes ago with an honest recollection of what I saw and heard than wait for a modest typo change in case the wrong show is on ESPN later or lose whatever memory retention I had of the very public friendly needling of Matt to Dan to finish up the show. I hope this may help the last smooth glasses of bourbon be even more enjoyable and that Toga may be able to stay clear of the Thruway state police blotter for another night and be on scout watch for us again because he is not frozen from uncomfortably performing for the weary traveling masses in the flurries tonight. Toga, we all know that you are surely a dedicated performance legend. Just like the old US Postal Creed might have said… neither rain, nor snow, nor gloom of night could shrink Toga away from his appointed rounds of duty for us. To any other fellow Saltine Warriors out there, I will leave it up to you to amend or correct this narrative because its late here in Texas and I better quit now before I am given a timeout by orange79 during the Bulldog04 DM announcement and this post may be deleted by our more shall we say sedate or sedentary and distinguished mods. :)

If Dan Mullen is the guy i expect they will announce it tomorrow. What would be the point of holding off now? You have the inside jokes by Barrie, players and recruits following on Twitter. That just doesn’t happen . If this deal is done we should hear something tomorrow, Monday at the latest. We have to salvage kids from transferring and get a jump on 12/4 becaus we need 3 QB’s and other help. If we don’t hear anything tomorrow, or Monday at the absolute latest i would be very worried we came up short.

If the deal is done, it'll probably leak tomorrow with a presser on Monday. There's no reason for Wildhack to wait. Mullen on the other hand may now want to see what A&M does, and what job opens up as a result.

If nothing leaks tomorrow, I'd be concerned.

Just watched this on demand and your description is accurate.

Chesney is 100% involved and is the leading candidate outside of the Mullen smoke

We may well be waiting on Mullen, who may be using or planning to use any offer from us in negotiations on competing offers for openings elsewhere.

If it is not announced or leaked tomorrow, the likelihood it's him drops substantially IMO, but we'll see...

I will say this, if we were played, it would be par for the course. Still, I wonder why we are not hearing other names right now. Time as we say, is of the essence. We have recruits to keep and the portal will be opening soon.

Your comment made me think of something. Has anyone checked if players are following Chesney on Twitter / X? If not, and we know they are following Mullen, that’s a pretty heavy bit of evidence. This could have mostly been wrapped up at that initial visit and they are just waiting for lawyers and timing.
