He provided a link to the source in his initial post.

That source was an article written by him. I was just curious where he got the information from.

No idea. I think he posts here frequently, but not sure if he is already posting in this thread or not.

Ah, didn't catch that...thanks...

The guy that wrote the article started this thread. I was just asking where the information came from.

I'd never heard of McGee OR Haase when they were hired.

What he said.

Of course, 1 out of those 2 appears to have been a good hire, looking back.

If my opinion mattered I would go to Colquit Co. HS. I'm assuming nobody really knows who Coach Key is? That was the point of the thread.

Point verified.

Reading the updates from Drew's last al.com article, it looks like Mackin found out this morning so I wouldn't think he would have a list together as of yet.

Also, Watts is currently out of town so Mackin could not collaborate with him.

Makes sense. Well, Mackin has a good eye of the athletics landscape nationally. Can't really blame him on the McGee hire. Mackin tried, McGee was the one who didn't live up to expectations.

But I thought Neal and Key were leading the candidates list so far...

How would that be the case if Mackin hasn't even had time to make a list?

I think I put Neal on the list.

Oh, okay. Just wanted to get to the bottom of it.

We need Blazer TV right now, right?

Naa... Based on the last two searches, there won't be any meaningful leaks. If there are, Champlin will get them first.

I do recall recommending John Neal or Bill Clark at the time to him.

That & 55 cents will buy you a coke.

Not a real coke, but a Sam's Soda from the employee vending machine.

Now that you mention it, they did go up on the rate to 65 cents for a coke in the vending machine at work.

it's $.80 here at UAB
