RE: Wilder ditched ODU for FAU in 2016 Before Kiffin Jumped In

My guess is Selig would have shut it down because it would have been an awful look to have your hot-at-the-time head coach leave for (at BEST) a lateral move within the conference. Nebraska basketball to Kansas or Rutgers football to Penn State is one thing, ODU football to FAU is another thing entirely.
But for kicks and giggles: Who would have taken the ODU job if it was open after the 2016 season?
I knows hearing from random people on the interweb is dicey, but Wood knew. If he didn't know, it would be amazing because everyone else did.
So somebody is lying. Either Wood, or the news reports. Interesting. Maybe Wood knew and lied to Broderick about it, and now he's trying to save face. Who knows. I do wish it would go away though. I don't want this story mucking up the coaching search somehow.
