This is info from a very VERY trusted source with some good contacts in the AD's office. Take it FWIW, but this guy has been spot on before and told me that I could run with this.

As stated, according to state regulations it would need to be posted for a week before they can fill the position. Also, the Duke v OSU bball game is a pretty huge deal. Would the Athletic department really want to overshadow their #3 ranked basketball program that has been clean under Matta by announcing a new head coach of their football team that still has sanctions and penalties looming?

SID...what is that exactly?

I'm hoping for Gene Smith to be looking for employment outside of Columbus in the near future.

Now why would that be???
