We've heard the SEC wants us to wait (if we have a new coach) to announce it after the Championship so as to not distract, etc.
If the Petersen rumors are true and our new AD wants to get along, he squashes the rumors to keep good relations with the rest of the conference. Also, then he gets to have his planned press blitz on Monday.
If it were me, I would let it leak and confirm the rumors right before halftime in the game on Saturday. That would maximize the national publicity for MSU.
I believe it is a done deal.
