I think at this point everyone has come to terms that the earliest an announcement will come is Monday. Tom will talk to Whit after the bowl game. My guess is Whit is his top target. If Whit doesn't want to make the move, it will be KS.

Whit? Wouldn't that be like Darth Vader becoming good again? Oh wait...

I guess it may be possible.

Kudos for capturing the Zeitgeist.

Any chance that part of what is making the search take a little longer is finding someone that likes the ribs at Milagros?

That was so 2011. BYU coaches are all about Bam Bam's now.

I'm shocked with the owners stellar history with restaurants that they are still in business.

That place is so bad.

Now, I've never hired a head coach. And I know there are some differences. But I can't help but shake my head at some of the angst as every time there is an interview the prevailing belief seems to be that either the guy isn't the first choice and has been told to wait, or the guy has turned down BYU, or that they are negotiating a contract.

We've hired a few people at my place of work. Every time we've interviewed more than one person. Every time we've interviewed all of the candidates that we wanted to interview prior to making an offer to anyone. There have been times when I had a favorite that I anticipated being the person I would end up offering to, but I still went through the entire process of interviewing all of the candidates and seeing how they do in the interview before making an official decision. Sometimes I've hired the person I initially thought was the favorite. A couple of times I didn't.

Now - if Andy Reid is out there and wants the job, I could see interviewing JUST him and making an offer if it's going to work. I'm sure Michigan felt the same way about Harbaugh.

But if there really are 2-3 potential candidates that could be the right hire, and you really are trying to decide between the 2-3, wouldn't you interview ALL of them before deciding anything? How would you know who was first, second, or third choice in order to try to interview them in order and keep offering them in order until one accepts?

I'm sure I'm oversimplifying this a little. But I don't have a problem with BYU interviewing multiple candidates and none of them coming away with an offer right away or BYU making an announcement right away. Check out all of your candidates. Interview all of them before making any decisions.

It's like the world has forgotten how people are hired. They think BYU already knows who their first choice is before even interviewing the candidates to get a picture of their vision for the future of the program and getting information that I would think is critical in determining who that first choice is.
