I've been talking with some people close to the program.
First on BV: Donors are starting the rumblings about a HC search. Nothing definitive yet, just rumblings. I'm under the impression he will get a chance to find an OC, but if things are not going well, even mid-season 2025 a change could be made. I'm expecting him to at least finish out the 2025 season, but his seat is like a volcano about to erupt going in to the 2025 season.
On the OC search: Let me just start out by saying the donors and Joe C. are allotting a big sum to hire an established OC. First, yes the Will Stein momentum has been fading, but has recently picked back up slightly. Joe C. And BV have been in talks with his agent more this week. Marion, Kinney, Korn, and Kotelnicki are out of the running. Below I'll give my short list based on what I've heard:
1. Will Stein
2. Joe Craddock
3. Dan Mullen
4. Collin Klein
I've heard rumors of another one but have not been able to confirm. Will Stein is at the top of their list, but I give it a 25% chance. Joe Craddock is the bet I'd make at this time.
Bonus: Joe Jon has not been considered for the OC job since Seth left. He's basically been coaching to save his job on the future staff, but I've heard since tonight, he will be promptly fired at the end of the season.
On Joe C.: Donors are not happy with the BV hire so far and the lack luster performance of both the Football and Men's Basketball respectively. If BV is fired he might be replaced as well. Those are just initial rumblings, but noteworthy in my opinion. Most want to keep Joe C. Until he retires but he may not make it or be forced to retire.
