I don't know crap about this coaching search or these men...but from what I've gathered reading various articles and such...give me Gattuso or Rossamundo...

 

GET OUT WITH THE MCCARTHY TALK...JUST LEAVE...GET OUT...THERE IS THE DOOR...DON'T COME BACK!

If Santillo is passing along this info.... I'd bet the deal is done.

 

Not so sure. Santilo isn't actually reporting it. He just retweeting someone else's report.

 

I do think we'll know soon enought though.

 

I noticed that shortly after I posted...

Looks like things have been developing, hopefully this thing gets wrapped up immediately.

add Holy Cross DL coach Antoine Smith, according to coachingsearch.com

 

Looks like a bright, young(er) guy. I don't see any previous head coaching experience though.

From Santillo...

 

"@joeycalzone23 reporting on @1045TheTeam that former NFL coach Jim Fassel showed interest in the UAlbany football head coaching job"

[uofalbany]

Any more to that conversation?

Wondering if that's 'showed interest' as in he's been hired.

Or 'is showing interest in' currently......

Or 'showed interest' past tense, and is no longer interested.

Not that exciting to me other than the name recognition. He's older and didn't have much success as the Head Coach of Utah. Feels more like a stunt hire than something that'd actually help the program win games and move forward.

[Dane96]

He's notbeven in the equation. My guess is he wasn't even back for a second interview, if he even had a first. Definition of stepping stone. He would be an awful hire.

In an email about America East tournament tickets going on sale tomorrow, Brian Rudolph also added:

 

Football season tickets will go on sale in conjunction with the naming of the next head coach. I will keep everyone updated as this situation moves along. Please expect another email early next week with more details.

 

Could an announcement come that soon?

[Dane96]

Rumor has it on the AGS board that Gattuso is having dinner with McElroy tomorrow. Not sure how true that is...

Could an announcement come that soon?

 

I certainly hope so.

Gattuso looks solid, I imagine big bucks to get him here.
