And that's with the assumption that he's been interviewed\offered the job at KU which we don't even know.
There are two possible scenarios I see playing out here and both can end up being good for KU. 1) KU lands Fedora. We know that he interviewed openly with ASU, A&M and UNC. Three good jobs. He chose KU over them (possibly, depending on if we find out he has offers). That gives me a ton of confidence in Zenger. 2) He gets a job at one of those schools, and we don't know whether KU was ever actively trying to get him. This also gives me confidence in Zenger in that he is doing what is best for the school. Not openly recruiting anyone and everyone with the hope of landing someone. He's gathering everything he can and getting the best guy in here that we can get without publicizing all the "no's" along the way.
If Zenger was out there making all these interviews and offers public, it could be bad when a few coaches say "no" and then others are looking at it with the attitude of "maybe I don't wanna coach there, heck they all are turning them down".
Either way, it's being handled correctly by our new AD and this is giving me a lot more confidence that we have the right guy making this decision.
Yes, there are many more scenarios that can play out here.. but That's my positive spin for the day.
