When is it going to leak out or get announced that Vigen is departing?

Nope. This is horse shit. You have no idea and not a scintilla of evidence to support your pipe dream. Just optimistic wishing or regurgitation from an empty echo chamber.
More than likely, the opposite is true—if either school offered, he would have been long gone.

Amazed how long this argument has gone on with both sides basically saying the same thing...except for a handful of clueless bub fans.

My uneducated guess is that they wouldn't go back to him, but idk.

I think Vigen will be at a disadvantage compared to Jeff Banks, since he turned the job down last year and doesn’t have the same connection to the Cougs. Still, the fact that they reached out to gauge his interest suggests he’s not out of the running. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up getting an interview, and I also wouldn’t be shocked if he’s ultimately hired, especially if Banks has a poor interview or if there’s significant fan pushback against Banks because of his unusual past.

When you hope against hope that your rival's HC will leave because you know until he does you have zero chance to win....you guys need to think about the threads you're creating.

Actually, if the Griz play Cats again, the Cats have no chance of winning. After showing their true colors against Yale, Cats will be fortunate to advance.

I agree with this...cats are adrift and the Griz are focused and absolutely peaking.

I am 100% confident Griz beat the cats in bozeman should that game materialize.

I'm only at 99%, but I will follow your posts more closely and try to become a better and more knowledgeable fan. Soldier, while you have posted less this fall, your posts have been very good, almost remarkable good at times, and accurate. As you said once, less stress and perhaps more time to focus, and focus on life and I assume the things you like to do. Thx.

Life is good. Retired and off blood pressure meds (no kidding). Better when the Griz are flowing thru the playoffs!

At least in the case of OSU, it was confirmed by the beat reporters of both schools. I'm not sure what additional evidence you would like, but that's pretty darn reputable. Last year for the WSU job, it was reported by several as well. Additionally, while I realize you won't believe me, I can confirm that Vigen himself said that he has told schools that he will not be leaving until after the playoffs are over.

I don’t have the information to confirm or deny OSU but you are spot on with WSU last year and don’t see why the wouldn’t have been the case with OSU as well based on the information available. Vigen did go out to Portland for an interview and then they hired someone else shortly after.

I guarantee you that if the locker room knows the staff isn't completely bought in, they won't be either. Simply human nature.

Agreed. Remember how the Griz’ 2002 season ended when it was pretty evident Glenn was headed to Wyoming? They lost to EWU and MSU to end the regular season 9-2, beat sacrificial lamb Northwestern State in the first round and then lost to McNeese State.

I have no doubt that Vigen has stated such during interviews, but I also have no doubt that he was never offered either job. Was this the reason, possible, but more likely it was only part of the reason.

As far as your last sentence goes Bob chesney the new UCLA coach basically said the same thing in his presser when he was introduced as head coach.

As long as James Madison is in the playoffs his loyalty is to his JMU players, the school and everyone affiliated with JMU..

UCLA is perfectly fine waiting with him finishing the season at JMU

Sounds an awful like the scenario of "You're fired" - "You can't fire me. I quit." or
"I'm breaking up with you." - "No you aren't. I'm breaking up with you first!"

If he knew they weren't going to hire him, then he can pull out and give a myriad of reasons for his decision. The easiest to believe might be that he wanted to coach how current team through the playoffs.
 
Been seeing a few rumors on other Forums/Social Media and from my pops (lives close to Pullman, him and my stepmom are friends with a Booster and his wife apparently) that Vigen and Costello are one of their top options as a package deal for their empty HC and AD spots.
Nothing official but the fact its been pretty quite after Rogers left makes me think they're waiting until after the postseason this time to make the announcement.

My take though is that WSU/OSU are in very different places than UCLA as are Chesney and Vigen.
