Warror:
I thought that is EXACTLY what happened.
It appeared that English was out of the EMU picture and set to be named DC at the University of Washington.
That is completely consistent with a person who turned down an interview at EMU.
I think you missed the 'right turn' that apparently occurred later in the process.
It is time for kudos to WolverineEagle.
Lot of folks wanted Fred Jackson (because of his recruiting abilities and perhaps race) but maybe Carr and Gragg had 2nd thoughts about him as HC.
If Jackson was the man I doubt English would have been back in play.
Jackson appears to be a great position coach, Loeffler a potential excellent OC and HC in time (3 - 10 years) and English the right man at the right time for EMU.
The process appears to have worked perfectly (IMO) and the result is the result everyone wanted.
Has there every been a better 'search committee' then Gragg and Carr who know most of the candidates. This is almost unreal.
Tomorrow could be a great day for EMU FB.
