That's fair. My opinion would be if you have a legit shot at Hastings/Leaman, do everything you can to make it happen as their track record makes them better choices than Pandolfo. From a BC perspective I appear to be in the minority in wanting BC to seal the deal with Leaman instead of Greg Brown.

Agree - Jay is unproven and the other experienced head coaches bring bandied about aren't unproven...

I'd be shocked if this was about money (unless Drew, who is the AD) has totally botched up communications about salary (I'm not a fan of how this is being managed, but I'll give him that). You don't get to the point of second discussions with candidates only to find out they couldn't come to terms on money. These coaches are sophisticated, have agents/attorneys that are involved, etc and are high level professionals that are always thinking about their next move (i.e. money, status, family situation, etc).

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock...

Arguably just as important, Mike McMahon's newsletter last night said Joe Pereira is the leading candidate to become the next associate HC and backfill Jay's position.

He'd be a phenomenal addition to the staff and complement Jay's skills. Joe's done an amazing job recruiting at UConn.

Who is Dean?

Also, while I'm not trying to defend this process, it is still a hiring process that one has to go through. It may just be a glacially slow University HR process/policy and no amount of pushing from the Athletic Department will make it go any faster.

Does Dean = Drew? Or is Dean a highly placed eminence grise in the BU administration?

Globe is reporting that Jay Pandolfo has been named head coach...

Fingers crossed this works out because this is a half-decade decision and based on the past 5-10 years we can't make a mistake. I'd rather have a proven head coach, but time to move forward and support this.

New Hope...Also, any ideas Pando keeps Lenny Quesnelle? Would not mind a fresh face, and just move on from Albie, Pearl, Quesnelle memories. Would LOVE if Freddy Meyer would come aboard to run the defense!
