Message: [QUOTE="Madbiker, post: 2133285, member: 312"] It's unlikely UW made the first move to contact Hopkins as the HC designate whose waited a long time for that job and is now just 12 months away. Far more likely that Hop had his agent contact UW to express interest & availability. And that wouldn't have happened unless there was a strong motivating reason for Hop to want out. He knew JB did not want to retire. He probably had a feeling that Wildhack was a lukewarm participant in the succession plan only because he had to be. I don't think anyone told Hop anything directly...he just read the tea leaves and decided to look for an out. [/QUOTE]
