Hearing some Larry Fedora rumors. This is a guy who would make Rhoades' actions this week (Which I think have been consistent with a guy throwing up a smoke screen) make a lot of sense.
IF Rhoades is throwing up a smoke screen, it's for a guy who is coaching in a championship game on Sunday, who doesn't want to distract his players with talks of him leaving (And also gives Rhoades cover in keeping the coach's current admin in the dark).
I think Fedora would be a slam-dunk hire. It's been reported that the NCAA issues at UNC were for a time period before he arrived, and if that's the case, he doesn't bring any NCAA stink with him. That's the only major potential drawback, IMO.
Pros:
Experienced in Power 5 league, high level of success. Has won everywhere he went, has made strong assistant hires and is part of a great coaching tree (Miles/Gundy). Has recruiting ties you'd like to see (Georgia, Florida, SE in general, Mississippi JUCOs).
I've long had an eye on Fedora, going back to his time at Southern Miss. He was one of the guys I wanted Mizzou to keep an eye on if it ousted Pinkel after 2013, had it not reversed the disaster of 2012.
