    Lotta smoke on VN about it coming down tomorrow. Campbell seems to be the hot name but I think people are speculating on who the big offer was made to.

    To be fair, I don’t think the people saying it’s about to go down have dropped any hint about the name. For all we know, they could be ecstatic over someone we may not find particularly appealing at all.

    So my question for discussion here is....who is worth 8 million a year of all the names we've discussed thus far? I realize we're gonna have to overpay for someone to take on the mess we have, but what say you?

    So we’re thinking that the offer was made to the big fish, and if he says no, then it’s Elliott?

    Stoops? I mean 8 million is national title numbers.

    JAllen18 (somewhat reputable) dropped Campbells name directly. Again, i think hes speculating.

    Stoops, Campbell, and maybe Kiffin, but I’m sure Lane would come for a lot less than $8 million.

    8M is way overpaying for Kiffin and Campbell.

    MetaVolunteer (another connected person) said no one knows names. Says he's been calling his contacts since Friday and no one knows anything. Says White has a lid on it.

    I can't handle thinking it might be Campbell right now and then it isn't.

    Campbell/Franklin

    Fickell feels like he could command 5-7 given our situation.

    We may have to overpay right now

    He sort of clarified that the 5 years could be set up to begin once self-imposed/NCAA penalties end, which could change the per year salary. Or I guess it could just add years at 8 million.

    But you’re probably going to have to overpay given the shape that the program is in right now.

    Yeah he is saying we have a backup if the offer is rejected. For some reason I’ve got a nagging suspicion that Herman is the backup

    Yeah, I’m preparing myself for an offer to be rejected and a steep drop to our second choice (which may well be perfectly reasonable).

    This job is way too big for Matt Campbell, he’s just getting ready for his second season after his 1st winning season there, nope he’s also not a pimple on a Scott Frost or Lane style coach’s a$$!!

    It's basically the coaching search we've been asking for the past few times.

    Professional, trying to throw money around, no public embarrassment (yet).

    Imagine if we had done this years ago.
