Apparently the next 24 - 48 hours for the WVU job are key...

Per these reports, a decision on the next WVU coach is imminent with JM still in the mix.

This one claims that Rich Rodriguez is the most likely pick:

This piece though suggests JM is a co - equal candidate with Rodriguez:

I don't understand the urgency of this timeline.

If the choice is JM is it really that critical that they find a way to try to upstage the Army Navy game?

Having been to morgantown more than once...if he wants to leave THAT badly......wow (then again, highland falls isn't exactly a metropolis)

That said, I see WVU hiring Rich Rod and UNC hiring the patiots coach

[OptionThis]

Both hires now seem likely. And, hard to see another top job this year that would interest JM.

Morgantown may not be a draw but a Power 5 job and the $ 4 million their last coach was paid may be enough.

And just this afternoon WVU adds another candidate into the pool, a co - offensive coordinator at Ohio St.

Just a guess, but the continued search may suggest the decision makers are not happy with their current options, including JM...

Brian hartline is one of the most respected assistants in the country. Turned Ohio state into wide receiver university.

I gotta imagine the West Virginia fan base would revolt if they hired monken over Hartline.

The addition of Hartline to the mix tells you that they aren't going to hire Monken.
