Football Update
So a few updates:
BG has a search firm engaged.
A lot of people were attracted to Mike Jacobs as our new coach. He's the head coach at Mercer, Ohio guy, blah blah. He's taken an extension at Mercer and will be staying. In fact, there's a good chance his agent got the mention on Football Scoop with the idea of getting an extension.
Also, Vince Marrow has been mentioned and appears to have interviewed. There are a couple obstacles. Most of all, he's a ROCKET. Right now, he's been at Kentucky for the last 12 years or so and is their TE Coach and assistant Head Coach.
As I said before, I think a sitting head coach will be difficult to swing. In fact, this is a case study in action. Even once you have a coach, you also have to fill a staff...with the idea we're trying to upgrade the program.
I have heard that BG expects to name someone by tomorrow, early next week or before the MAC Tournament.
Speaking of assistant coaches, Brian White, our RB Coach and BBQ expert is now tweeting before the first day of Spring Practice at Marshall. Nothing that I can find has been announced.
There have been no other portal entries on twitter, but JD Singletary (a 26 commit) has re-opened his recruiting.

If Jacobs was/is the choice then you have to get him. I find it hard to believe he would stay at Mercer if the money that we offered was right.
I honestly think a head coach would think twice before leaving at this time of year and taking the staff.
Players were posting pictures on Spring Break...as bad as the timing is, at least they're off campus to take their minds off the uncertainty. DVDM needs to get this settled and get a leader in place ASAP. White always struck me as kind of a goofball, glad he's taking his act elsewhere.
