Maybe. But why would a coach like Herman make it more difficult for another school to hire him away. He wouldn't need to agree to a contract extension. And he knows he is most likely gone after this year. So why introduce a potential obstacle? Assuming, of course, that the buy-out was increased.

He won't be contacted since his name is in the media and he's making statements. Standard Pollard search.

Why does everyone say this? We just had one of these searches less than six months ago, with the same search firm, and we knew many (if not most, or all) of the contenders' names - including Steve Prohm's.

That was a new offer. I'm pretty sure that the new contracted hadn't been accepted or signed. It was just basically Houston telling Herman that he would be paid if he decided to stay.

Flight from Normal, Illinois to Ames.

Normal, Illinois is home of Illinois State. Their HC is Brock Spack, who WRNL listed as a potential candidate.




Just to be clear, I don't really think we're meeting with Brock Spack but it is fun to view this flight trackers this time of year to see who might be visiting who.

You don't think it's Spack? Please say why you think this. I ask, because he might have left after practice today (ISU is playing in the FCS playoffs Saturday, right?) and return before practice tomorrow. It's plausible. Keep up the eye in the sky work. <g>

I believe all the interviews for basketball took place at the same location and the search firm handled the logistics.

I don't think flight tracker will tell us anything.

We're not bringing in candidates to the football offices while Rhoads is still in the building

Wasn't the first time Prohm came to Ames AFTER he was announced as HC

Yes and same thing with Chizik. There were rumors that Bryce Drew was on campus while they were looking for a basketball coach.

The Normal, Illinois flight is heading back to Normal, Illinois 2 hours after it lands here.

There was a flight from Fargo this evening as well that doesn't appear to be leaving tonight. Chris Kleiman's name has been mentioned.
