LIKE! I understand the family input part, however it's not like he's being asked to move to Australian Bush in order to coach basketball. There is a lot to do in Tuscaloosa and in Alabama in general. The only thing that I wonder is if he left South Carolina to get away from the "South". I can't see how living in Alabama would be much different. In fact, it might be an upgrade from South Carolina.
His Mother had expressed a desire for him to move back to the South, though she said it was not as important now. He stated no reservations about moving back.

Fair enough. Differing opinions and entirely different approaches. Neither is the authority. Let's leave it at that.
I'm with you on the welcome or at least acceptance of a bit of levity. OTOH, hate to offend In this atmosphere of super thin skin and seriousness.

From what Lucky says on BOL:

1. No timetable, although they think 24-48 hours.

2. They were in touch before his final game.

3. Situation still "fluid".
I see Lucky is still the same: many words little info. At least his heart is in the right place - after the bottom line is met 😊.

I saw that too..I haven't paid much attention to Jason King in the past so I am not sure how reliable he is or up to speed on his accuracy. I believe he is from bleacher report.
Yea he is based in Kansas so take it for what it's worth..

Yea, he (Jason King ) is like many a local media guy, he wants to be loved. Surely he doesn't think Gregg would tell everyone he is going to take the Bama job and sit on his backside for two days deciding. Gregg would probably let it be know that it is very unlikely he is leaving, if WSU can just raise his salary a little.

The game is played that way, you play both ends against each other, and profess love for all.:BigA:

I have to admit I'm utterly perplexed by the reports of Marshall preferring Texas, especially if you contrast that with the reports Smart might prefer Alabama. Could both schools really be wasting time going after the wrong guy? Of course I've heard so many versions at this point I'm not sure what to believe.

The only thing I haven't really heard is that Gregg loves Alabama and is ready to sign, which is starting to bother me...

On the other hand, I've read a number of articles stating that CGM is a man of integrity and that he would not disrespect Battle by wasting his time.

I'm starting to think that way.

If this is true and we are not in the picture at all, then he needs to tell us and let us go on to plan B. That is what makes me think that this is not true. Why would he string us along if it was either stay at Wichita or go to Texas? Doesn't make sense.
