The longer this goes without an announcement that we are hiring Schnall the less likely it becomes that we are hiring Schnall.

Unless they are negotiating a package deal with Williams and Morrison.

I wonder if an announcement will not be made until the conclusion of the CWS?
I dont know if that makes much sense if our season and his team's seasons are already over. Im seeing a lot of stuff on twitter about it being Schnall after all and that an announcement will be later today so if thats the choice, its time to throw support behind the new staff and hope for the best.

Was thinking in terms of is there some sort of "gentlemen's agreement" to withhold such announcements until after the CWS concludes.

They are analyzing if he "really wants to be here".

Im really hoping now that Tanner is gone, that is not such an important part of the evaluation in new hires, going forward

I can see that. An excellent guess, IMO.

I have said this previously, how in the world does anyone know if Schnall is the top choice for Donati/South Carolina, or anyone else for that matter. Are people merely making this presumption based upon media insiders on this website. From a professional standpoint, if I were Donati and people within my organization were leaking this kind of sensitive information out, you would be facing disciplinary action that may include dismissal. Think about this, leaking information about potential candidates is detrimental to this process by making it much more difficult to speak with a coach or his agent.

I imagine Brandon Dunn may report on other candidates Donati interviews. Okay.

Sounds a lot like when Ray Tanner hired Chad Holbrook. Not saying its the wrong move, but it sure does seem like we've seen this show before. I think there is something to be said for if we really consider ourselves as a blue blood program, do we really want to hand the keys to someone who would be still learning on the job on how to be a head coach?

I am starting to wonder if Schnall isnt the primary target. I feel like if he was, the deal would have been done by now


Something to consider with Schnall.

He was also the associate head coach with Gilmore when Gilrmore first became sick. I think he had a lot more experience leading a program than the official 2 years listed as head coach because with Gilmore going through treatment, etc- Schnall was also leading the program.

When we hired Mainieri, no one was even talking about him


So we really don't know.
