    Hollis clearly refused to leave his comfort zone again. For a second time, there was no national search and the selection was based, at least in part, on a Spartan purity test. That said, Cole isn't a bad choice. He's a good coach with direct connections to the NTDP. Frankly, Cole should have been the choice six years ago.

    If the reports turn out true, I would be rather interested in hearing about his long-term vision for the program.
    How do you know the depth or reach of the search. There are coaches who apply and/or interview that don't want their names out there. Especially with signing day coming up.

      Remember the last time Danton Cole was "announced"?

        My money would be on Andy Slaggert. But no confirmation on that.

          Do you trust him as a source? That tweet pretty much screams I'M FIRST!!!! If no one else has confirmed it, I wonder if he is speaking out of turn.

            Hondo's usually right, but he also once reported Izzo was being considered to take over the football team. So... yeah.

              I'm going to be as diplomatic as I possibly can be about this: Hondo is not the type of person who adheres to journalistic convention.

              That said, when it comes to scoops, Hondo is right more often than not.

                  I get he's absolutely a homer given his site and publication , but from the little I've checked out his Twitter feed and other stuff, he also seems to be a bit of a fanboy. Congrats to him for making a living off of that. I'm sure he has the connections to provide a scoop like that but it's been hours since he posted that and nothing has come out of the Athletic Department, has it? Usually you see a scoop like that and then it becomes official within the hour. I haven't seen anything posted anywhere, have you?

                        I will actually vomit if they're interviewing Paul Pooley.

                          I remember that rumor. I never believed it, the reasoning behind it was valid but not realistic. Those blue-bloods with money must have been smoking something.
