Who were the names in the mix when Fuente was hired, and how did that search go down? I've heard from various posts he was the 2nd or 3rd choice. Who was 1 & 2?

Good search firm, a win/win. I think you got the right one in that case. I'm not sure Mac would have done as well as Justin here.

Out of curiosity when should memphis coaching search wrap up? About Sunday or Monday? If it drags on any longer then i think we are in trouble

Memphis is going to get a good coach. Remember, when Alabama hired Saban they fired Shula about now and didn't have Saban on board until January.

I think everything Patterson has done at TCU can be done in Memphis. Just my two cents.

I found this from an article in last couple hours fwiw

source told the Tribune that Odom felt he was in a good place with both schools after returning to Missouri following negotiations in Memphis on Monday and Tuesday and that the situation should be more clear Wednesday. It was the source’s understanding that Odom had until Thursday to let Memphis know his decision

Difference being, the kind of kids that commit to Alabama will wait on the next coach to be hired. Our recruiting window closes on the 15th. We don't get those kinds of kids.

But don't we want to get it right more so that get it done? Getting a guy NOW doesn't necessarily secure a better recruiting class. And I'd rather have better teams and recruiting classes down the line. Bigger than next year alone.
