Timing of coaching change

[Woodsa]

The only experience I have with a coaching change is the Brohm to Walters situation as the others occurred before my "wisdom" kicked in. What I recall during that transition it that there was much guessing on who and that it happened rather quickly. I read where the AD said money would be made available to bring in a coach and that they wanted to move quickly.

What is quickly in college sports? I depicted a possible timeline to help me process this (release date = T):

1. T-21 days, Purdue AD had knowledge of potential release and begins assembling a short list of candidates
2. T-10 days, Purdue AD has to have a gut feel and sharpens his potential candidates to a short list
3. T-1 day, Purdue AD confirms release with president and BoT to make the announcement
4. T, Walters released and search is officially underway, short list of candidates are contacted to gauge interest
5. T+3 days, Purdue AD should have 1-3 candidates defined as selection progresses
6. T+5 days, selection is finalized, details are worked out
7. T+8 days, new coach is announced

Does that timing feel about right to you?

I think it is pretty close. Bobinski seemed to indicate yesterday in the conference that they expected to announce a new coach in 7-10 days.

That's just enough time to come to an oral agreement, play in a championship game and get the contract signed...
I bet that the initial contact and vetting has taken place on the coach Bobo wants...

That timeline sounds pretty decent.
