Crap or get off the pot...
Either hire Knight now or move on. Ky-rist, how long does it take these bureaucratic morons to decide who they want more as a coach? Any coaching candidate will have some baggage if you look hard enough. Just hire Knight and return our program to national prominence.

Apparently Knight is on a hunting trip and will be returning to Lubbock any day now. The powers that be at Texas Tech want him to sign the extension he verbally agreed to, sooner rather than later. Geiger is going to have to decide real soon whether he wants Knight or not.

I was under the impression that he already signed the extended contract and it was a done deal because T-Tech officials knew A. Geiger Of OSU would be interested in Knight. What gives.

From what I understand, Knight has verbally agreed to his TT contract but has yet to sign it. All the scuttlebutt I hear makes me think that he is genuenly interested in the job. BUT, I have also heard that night said he is willing to talk about the job IF the offer is on the table. NOT just to discuss the possiblility, but only if OSU says "Bobby, the job is yours, lets talk about the details." NOT, "Bobby, let's talk about the details and then we'll decide if you get the job." There is a BIG difference in the 2 scenarios.
EDIT: facinating article that just came across ESPN about Knight and the possibility he will come to OSU.

Hiring Knight would probably be the last great hire that Geiger makes (assuming that he retires in 2 years).

The latest ESPN article makes it sound like they are trying to line up the support at OSU before they officially talk to him. I hope that is true. I would love to see him back home. I just keep reminding myself of the rumors of Chucky being on the plane to Columbus for the football job a few years ago. I just keep waiting for some official word from the university.
Also, everything I have read said the extension is in place, it just needs to be signed by RMK. |
