Or will they make a typical aggie decision and let it ride out until it's too late, then we begin losing recruits. I forgot how long it took for fran to be announced after Slocum, and Sherman to be announced after fran, and Sumlin to be announced after Sherman? You would typically think no longer than December 5th would be a good target date to announce, so the recruiting process can get moving full speed ahead. If we land Fisher, recruiting might be a bit easier due to we could easily land some top recruits from Florida pretty quickly. Maybe even 5 or 6 right away. Just specualtion though.

*Assuming we are making a change.

if Sumlin is fired and the new coach isn't in place before 12/1, that means something went very badly in the coaching search & negotiations

Since Sumlins buyout drops by $5 mill on Jan 1st I would not look for an official announcement on anything until after that. I'm guessing the deal will be done and we'll known prior to that though.

That's not how his buyout works. The only way it drops is if we pay it to him.

Since FSU suddenly decided to reschedule the game affected by the hurricane, Jimbo has to coach on 12/2. If Fisher is the guy, we will probably have to wait until after that week.

Where's Bayside with all that "Inside Info"?

A year ago: "We're hiring Morris"
Lately: "We're hiring someone but it isn't Morris"
In January: "We're staying with Sumlin"

Yesterday it sounded like he was our guy for sure. The latest is that he may be staying with the Criminoles.

Until an announcement is made, I wouldn't waste a whole lot of energy speculating on a coaching change.

Our BORs, BMAs and AD are as disorganized and as dysfunctional as the US Senate. Both are a total clown show.

Dangit. I thought we could make him work a month longer for $5 million less pay by just delaying his firing. Who's negotiating these contracts?

Anyone but Fisher and we might have one signed, sealed, delivered, and announced by Dec 1.

If by Dec 1 we are without a coach, then that would be a very strong indication Fisher is the guy and he's "agreed in principle" and that he just needs to coach his team on the 2nd in that last game and will be here by the 3rd or 4th.

Forget Fisher. His ex-wife controls if he can leave FLORIDA.
