Is this post serious?

He has sources at Ball State at least. There are two sides here. If Lembo's people are telling a Ball State blogger isn't not happening, that's a legit source.

I get his Ball St sources. He mentioned in a post about having sources in the WF AD, which I tend to doubt.
 
The rumor was financials were discussed, not that an offer was made.

That's a critical point.

No offense to OTP but I seriously doubt he has a source within our Ath Dept.

You would be wrong. I'm not as well connected at Wake as I am at BSU obviously, and it's only 1 person. But it's someone. And I'm in a good spot to see if what I'm hearing from others matches up with what he's saying. It's not someone super important or with the power to make any decision, but they are privy to info. My BSU folks is a whole different thing.

I've said all along that you all are welcome to come at anything I write or post with a helpful hint of skepticism. I probably would too. But our new Wake followers on Twitter would know that we had every MAC bowl pegged right hours before anyone else because of our sources, so we do have some in lots of places. But you can take everything from us at your own discretion.

There, I fixed it for you, you tweeting Twat

I'm more and more grateful for that 2006 season with each passing day. It's clear we are never going to try and compete at that level again.

It's clear that we didn't try then.. It just happened. Like an act of Abbatte.
 
I recall hearing that many people within the AD had no clue who Jeff [Redacted] was when Wellman hired him, so who knows the veracity of anything from Wellman's AD underlings.

But if Deman says it's Clawson, I wouldn't doubt we hire Lembo (or someone else).

That is absolutely hilarious coming from a self proclaimed "oracle".
 
Has OTP said definitively that "its not happening" at this point? If so, I haven't read it. I haven't seen a single reliable source confirm that a) Lembo is out of the picture, b) that Wellman made him a lowball offer or c) that Lembo was or is our #1 choice.

I think the footballscoop guy is pretty connected. But a tweet stating "I am hearing..." doesn't mean shit.

I have not. I would stand by my earlier tweet that something significant would need to happen by one of the sides significantly altering their number (or a meeting in the middle perhaps) which just seems unlikely. I have heard numerous things from numerous people, some of which are the same type of info, which lends credibility to it. There were not favorable terms in both salary and length. There were considerable differences in style and approach for recruiting and the details. There was just a general lack of clicking between the parties. Is it fixable? Sure. Is that likely? Depends on Wellman, I guess. I only know CPL and I doubt he's going to come down significantly unless all those other things are fixed.

I don't know where Lembo ranked in terms of the search. That's a Wellman or Hatch question and my Wake guy isn't well connected enough to know the inner workings of Wellman but he would be in a position to know administrative things like numbers. But anyone thinking financial stuff, program goals, etc. aren't discussed by anyone but the top choice is crazy. The devil is in the details for most of these coaching searches and both sides want to see where the gaps are off the start to see if it's worth pushing forward.

I think there's a fair amount of posturing on both sides, but I can tell you that Wake needs CPL more than he needs them at this point (if that makes sense)

I don't disagree with any of this. I just see a bunch of other people getting out the ashes and satcloth and I don't know there is any reason to do so yet. I mean, I'm as scarred as anybody by the Jeff [Redacted] era, but come on.

Thanks for your willingness to discuss the information you have obtained, btw.
 
"...but I can tell you that Wake needs CPL more than he needs them at this point." Wake doesn't need CPL nor do we need RW, but we're likely to still have one of them.
 
Posted over in the longer Lembo thread. No formal offer made, the salary talked about was only $1MM. More detail over there.
 
I get his Ball St sources. He mentioned in a post about having sources in the WF AD, which I tend to doubt.

Do you still doubt his sources? You realize that OTP is breaking news before the BSD guys, right?
 
The difference between these boards and Wellman is we didn't hire Jeff [Redacted] and thus are infinitely more qualified than Ron to make a decision.

Doren is 1.7 right. Winning Mac coach winning Mac coach. Doren should be paid more, but I'd hink more than 1 mil.
 
Second thought: if we don't have money because Ron stuck us with bzz, we should riot
