Yup. Pull the trigger now, post the position, start the hiring clock, take all the rest of the season, and be able to make a hiring announcement just when you should.
I just looked at Jones' assistants: very young. That echos to me of when Mussman protected himself by having two young, inexperienced coordinators (neither ready for an "interim" tag). I won't be fooled by that again, nor should Brian Faison. I say put the "interim" title on Shawn Dirden and start doing due diligence.
I think someone watched too much Thundercats as a kid and it warped them when it comes to logos. https://www.google.com/search?q=thundercat+logo&prmd=isvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwigm9rp-rTJAhWIOiYKHUkbAtwQ_AUIBygB
That is the best analysis I've seen on subject. Donny wants it both ways: -stop the neo-natal recruiting -stop allowing late bloomers OK, so what's left? The B1G is trying to stack the deck believing that all 18 year olds will obviously pick a "name" (B1G) school over a real hockey program. I guess you have to try anything and everything when it's not working on the ice.
Somebody quick explain the concept of #QualityLosses to UNI and see if they bite. Jones can't get his team up for this game. That says "done" to me. So, MSU Dragons guys, or one of the Boschees (Mike or Jeff)?
Some playoff selection systems are analytic, repeatable, and objective (NCAA hockey PWR). Some playoff selection systems are random, arbitrary, and subjective (NCAA FCS). With one come order; with the other comes politicking and chaos.
