Your emotions/thoughts on the assembling of the coaching staff have gone from what to what?

Per the Austin American-Statesman' Kirk Bohls.

The AAS is reporting a plane has been or will be sent today to pick up the Strong family for a tour of the campus and football facilities. If anyone gets a link, please post. :-)

We awake today to a Sunday and the start of a new era. Imagine how exciting the next few days and weeks are going to be as Charlie Strong comes to town for the press conference and begins assembling his staff and finishes up recruiting. Then, it's on to spring ball and then that glorius time in...

Have we heard anything from HS mods? Wondering what they are hearing/thinking about the latest information out there?

Name the 3 coaching candidates you would be happiest with and would be the most excited to see any one of them step to the podium at the press conference. Mine would be: Saban Harbaugh Fisher I will add have no idea how this is going to turn out. Just trying to enjoy the ride.

OK, it's Friday morning. What's your gut telling you where this thing is headed? Not so much where you hope it's headed, but where you feel it's headed. I'll hang up and listen.

OK, so which possible coaching candidate is going to be the talk of the day? Seems like there is a new favorite every day. I have to admit, though, as crazy as it is, it is fun. Happy New Year!!!

... and we are awaiting the start of the press conference to announce our next head football coach, here are 3 things I hope: 1. The HornSports server is ready to handle the traffic that will come here to talk about it all. 2. The phrase "smokescreen" can be retired. 3. We can all celebrate...

When will we be watching the official press conference? My guess is 1 p.m. on Tuesday, January 7.

Look into your crystal ball ... what will be be talking about in regard to the Longhorn football program on Christmas Day 2014?

I've been seeing Mike Tomlin's name mentioned throughout all of this. Is that just a name on someone's "Wish List," or has he expressed interest, even through back channels? If he indeed a possible candidate, or has interest, the NFL season will be ending the weekend of the Alamo Bowl.

Supposedly, Kirk Herbstreit made this comment a few minutes ago on ESPN. Anyone hear it? "Tweet it out text it, scream it - Nick Saban is not going to Texas. No shot. No chance. It isn't going to happen."

Just wondering what the record for hitting F5 the most times in an hour is? Whatever it is, it may be on the verge of falling tonight! :)

So now that the regular season is over, what is your guess on the potential timeline? First, when do you think we will know if there is a coaching opening? And, if so, when do you think we will know the replacement?

OK, who (individual, site, media outlet) will be the first to accurately make the call on whatever the call turns out to be on this coaching roller-coaster story we are riding?

Unlike most of you, I'm sure, I still can't put together a list of my top 3 coaching candidates. I am curious, though, to get an idea what everyone else is thinking. That being said, who are you top 3 coaching candidates? If you want to give a percentage of the possibility, that would be an...
