Come jump on the Howland Train Mailk !!!

[fishwater99]

I am pretty sure we just went from 0% to 50/50 to land Newman.

[Dawg1976]

At least 50/50.

 

[121Josey]

50/50/50. UK/KU/MSU in no particular order.**

 

[GhostOfJackie]

I wouldn't read too much into it. As a former player, he's obviously very happy about the hire. Maybe this is a game changer, and maybe it's not, but I wouldn't read too much in to it.

 

[patdog]

It's a game changer in that it gets from no chance to sign Newman to as good a chance as any of the other contenders. I don't think anybody's at more than 40% right now though.

 

[Seinfeld]

Exactly. We may still be on the outside looking in, but whereas we had zero chance before, I think we're now just a couple dominos falling away from actually being able to land him. It will be interesting to see how Howland's assistants fill in during the next few weeks, and I also don't think that it was sheer coincidence that all this came about so quickly. It seems that both sides had mutual interest in getting something done pronto

c'mon Malik!

Time to join another legend.

I'll be in charge of the Howl & Mal t-shirts.

Can a coach, say Howland wear a Howl and Mal tshirt in public or TV? I am sure someone like SEC network is going to interview him sooner or later.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Ugh. Shades of Macroom and White.

Noku

 

[Old Fart Dawg]

that's pretty clever. I like it. +1

 

[futaba.79]

I doubt Malik has met Howland yet and since recruiting is about relationships I'm not going to get my hopes up.

What about the relationship he had with Korey McCray since the 9th grade courting him to LSU? I think it hinges on hiring this guy to the staff.

McCray -- and we have George Brooks most likely being retained...

 

[mstateglfr]

Newman's elbow is flying out too much in the pick that's part of the article. Streaky shooter- we should pass.**



...kidding...on the pass part, not the other.

 

[dawgman42]

They're also too pointy. Pass.
