When are is our AD going to announce a new Head Coach?

Let me see if I got this right.

You claim to know who the finalist are, but you are asking US to give you information about the announcement.

It sounds like you know a lot more than we do, so maybe you should be telling us more about what's going on.

I don't believe there has been an official date announced. FootballScoop.com has predicted the announcement will be made tomorrow (Monday).

The South End, WSU's news site, reported yesterday that the UA athletic department is reporting that they will make a final decision on their new football coach Monday. But I believe that's based more on the FootballScoop prediction and not on an official UA report.

The South End also says the Paul Winters-to-Akron move is imminent, though nothing is for sure.

One clue they cite is: Falling into this timeline, Winters is said to be holding the Warriors’ end-of-season team meeting tomorrow (Sunday) at 4 p.m., according to players. Usually such a meeting takes place on the Monday after the last game. As such, some players said they are curious what’s going to happen.

The Sunday thing doesn't matter, school is done so they are just trying to finish up ASAP so kids can go home

I overheard at the basketball game yesterday they hope to announce it Tuesday, Wednesday at the latest. Maybe they are having a couple people in tomorrow (Winters and Loeffler's seasons are finished) to finalize the search?

I agree with G-Mann. This is the first time they have been plaing this late in the year. School is already out and their fellow students are already at home. It is best for the players to get this done and get them home for the Christmas break. The timing though....will be convenient for us.

I predict Tuesday.

Reason being, if it is any one of a number of coaches discussed here... Some just finished up playing Yesterday (Saturday). So that leaves today to negotiate any final contracts, etc.

Tomorrow the contracts would go up in front of Legal, HR, etc. A.K.A... It'll be a done deal tomorrow, just don't know when the contracts would be signed, etc.

That leaves Tuesday to get the information out on the social media and anything else that needs to be done before the staff leaves for the holidays...

Just my guestimate...
