Nature abhors a vacuum...

And that's what we've got today. Because Byrne is using an outside search firm, an unusually small number of people close the decision-makers know what actually is going on. That's created an information vacuum. Naturally that void is filled with speculation and rumor.

I'm guessing because there is no word of a press conference set up, no coach has been hired. That is something run-of-mill AD employees would get wind of. However, Byrne has a good idea of who is interested and who is not. I imagine we have one or two "preferred candidates" that we've started to get serious with. Who knows who they are. I am sure that this will be done in private.

I predict after this Saturday a name will come out, because eventually Byrne will have to talk to the big-time boosters, expanding the circle of knowledge. The next name that comes out will be "the guy", as the negotiations will already have taken place.

Well, at least that's my reading of how the search is going.
