Most employed coaches are not going to be available to even interview until their current season is done.
Is this something new? In the past you always had people accepting jobs while they were still an assistant somewhere else. Hell, Colorado's offensive coordinator took the Vanderbilt job in 1990 and didn't even coach in the Orange bowl.
Its possible, but there is still a month left in the regular season. Most of those coaching moves and interviewing happen after the end of the regular season but before the bowl games.
The comment about this taking longer than we want it to leads me to the conclusion that he's thinking of EB or maybe Miles if that's a legit choice. If he wanted Mac, he could put him in place tomorrow.
or it could be Calhoun
agree that if we don't see Mac getting hired within the next two weeks Mac
probably won't get the job..

EB will be coaching till I think the first week in January or whenever the NFL reg season is over. Dec 1 would be nice but not practical at all.
Can coaches in a contract be announced to take over and finish out their contract with their current employer?

He's had a year to think about this and 5 weeks to look at candidates at least. He has 3 weeks before recruiting opens back up. That recruiting period is absolutely crucial. No excuse not to have someone lined up and in place by Dec 1.
I think if Mac were a sure thing he'd already be here. I don't think we can count him out but I think the odds are a little lower with an interim already named.
So if we go 3-0 and we have a month of practice before a bowl game BC obviously deserves to coach the bowl but then we lose a month of recruiting with whoever the new coach could be. That would be a really awkward situation for us.
3-5 WEEKS IS FINE BY ME. Just do a complete search, please. Oh yeah, he hires calhoun I'm going to hit defcon 5.
It depends on the date that Alabama, LSU and Auburn play their bowl game.
Announcement is one day after.
