FYI - you can edit your display name. I normally identify posters by avatar anyway. Change name and get unique avatar and in your signature line put "the poster FKA yotefan". Done.

Kwsn just said USD told them Bob will be unavailable for his weekly spot Tuesday as he is “busy recruiting.” Sounds like he might be avoiding media. Pre-recorded spot with JVG tonight. Doubt rumors will be addressed. Not a good sign for us.

Sometimes I wish I would have been more creative coming up with my handle before the first message board crashed after beating Minnesota. Oh well. In other news, another solid bit of work from Bar Stool USD. Profile > Edit Profile Button > Personal Tab > Edit Display Name |

With so many variations of yotefan on the board now perhaps we could auction off the name and raise funds to keep Bob and his staff around. =) In all seriousness, I could care less and love how many people are on the board now. High quality contributions are the norm these days from lots of informed people. Good stuff. |

Zach Schneider, sports director for station in Duluth tweeted "Heard from a source last night this is legit and Nielson is expected to take it". So we have that going for us.

I was thinking about this as soon as these rumors started swirling yesterday and I just heard the same thing mentioned on KWSN. Amy Williams prior to leaving was very emotional in her last press conference or two. Same exact thing from Nielson at about the same time in the year. I don't remember Craig Smith getting that way unless I missed it. Nilson talked about Streveler and might have disguised his real reason for being emotional with Chris. If he is gone he probably knew at that point that he was leaving or at the least a very good chance of it.
USD would have to double his salary more than likely to keep him if the offer is real from Kent State. If Kent State offered than it is time to say good bye.
This is the third straight year that a high profile USD coach is either leaving or rumored to be leaving. It's like as soon as a coach shows a pulse at USD than they are gone. I can't think of any other schools that have this issue as often lately as USD has had to deal with this.

Ha, I just looked at Kent State's message board and the thread on the coaching change. They have 0 users logged in and 8 guests....we are far more active on their board than they are.
That being said, thanks for the memories.......next coach up!

Assuming Bob leaves, I wonder if we lose the entire staff similar to his departure from WIU? Bad enough losing the HC, but the assistants going and recruiting would be devastating.

His assistants will want to stay with him and the new coach will want his assistants with him. Pretty clear that Bob is gone, when Andy McCance commits and not a single coach tweets anything. To me it looks like McCance thought he better quickly commit and hopes the next staff will let the offer stand.

I can't think of any other schools that have this issue as often lately as USD has had to deal with this. Welcome to small time Division I. When we lose, we get a new coach, and when we win, we get a new coach. Credit Herbster for this as he has made some incredible hires (Plitzuweit could very well be next in a few years) and created a solid athletic program. But hope he doesn't get lured away, either. |

Maybe Herbster tries to retain an assistant to be head coach (like how WIU seemed to offer Yelk before bungling the whole thing). If we keep an assistant to be HC then I'd expect to retain a couple as assistants. Otherwise, I'd expect a completely new staff. |
