Same. I think we already have someone essentially hired; it's just a case of making the announcement. JSU waited til our season was over, but then didn't want to make the announcement the week of Thanksgiving. I definitely don't expect us to go too far into December without making the announcement. The December early signing period runs from Dec. 15-17. If true, and I hope it is, the only reason to delay the announcement would be the candidate’s existing team is still playing. True, but I'm not sure any team (JSU or anyone else) can afford to sit on a hire until bowl season is over. One way or another, you have to make the announcement. At that point, it's up to each school to decide if he'll stay on as coach for the remainder of the season.

I'm not sure anyone has been hired yet. Any idea whether we've hired a firm to look into hiring a new coach or are we going at it alone.

I like it but I reserve the right to complain if it's not in accordance with my thinking.

I agree with Monday for the announcement. As someone else said, if it's a current/former Bama assistant, you might get more traction announcing it the morning of the Iron Bowl. That way, the commentators can talk about the "Saban coaching tree" or whatever during the game. It's free mega-publicity, and everyone in Alabama (except, like, 3 people) will be watching. Otherwise, if someone is in place, Monday would be best. If no one has been hired yet, all bets are off. But we NEED to have someone lined up at least a week before the early period begins to have any hope of securing a decent early class. It doesn't mean we WILL have someone hired by then, of course. On the plus side, that'd at least give us something to complain about.

What did I miss who is the former/current bama assistant I wasn't trying to suggest we had one in hand. I was only saying if we hire Wright or Cooper (or some wild card none of us know about) then a Saturday announcement might be appropriate. Otherwise, Monday would be ideal.

Played football and graduated HS with Coop, Lee High School in Huntsville. He's a good one IMHO.
