If the rumors are true, which some knowledgeable cat posters are now saying he addressed the team last night, then this puts the cats in an interesting spot. It's getting pretty late in the game to make an external hire with the early signing period now passed and many portal guys now committing to other programs. On the other hand, outside of Bobby Daly, I don't think there are any other good internal candidates. The OC is only in his first year and a lot of the assistants outside of Daly and Owens don't have any previous ties to the program or Montana. That makes me think a bunch of these guys would follow him to Wazzu and I wouldn't blame them for doing it.
Their AD I don't think has ever made an internal hire, or at least not in any of the major sports programs. Maybe he has in the non revenue sports but IDK. Daly would be good for keeping a majority of the team together and maintaining the strong in-state recruiting, but is he a good long term solution? Look at Andy Thompson. The players advocated for him to be promoted and year 1 was ok, but year 2 was a disaster. Is he ready? IDK.
For starters, we gotta hear something official, but after we do, things get interesting.
