I'm hearing it is a done deal. $4M per.

We'll wait to see if my source is correct.

Why is there a new thread about this? We already have many and they all say the same thing. Which is exactly what this one says.

Absolute horrible timing if things are being leaked at this point.

Nothing is leaked or official yet

I swear there’s like 15 people on this board that have “sources” but no one discloses those sources? I don’t believe anyone on this board but Aggie22.

Hopefully nothing is official until April 8th or 9th although Alford, Medved, Rice, and Pope are all available now.

I love it when conflicting reports come in. Surely we will all remain reasonable today. Could be an all-time day for this board if we win or lose our game, if Sprinkle stays or goes, if Pope winds up in Washington, the MW shows up or falls flat again, etc!

I’ve only been a part of this board for a short time, but from what I’ve observed is Aggie22 is almost always right, and the rest of you hooligans pretend to have sources to feel important. I’m partially joking.

Even if true I don't think it will affect the team. They're all going with him regardless. So there's your silver lining.

Why are you trying to force someone to give up a confidential source and risk losing that source? Just let it be, fwiw. If you don't believe it, just ignore it.

There's definitely some hidden irony in that post. Not joking.

Lots of people have been right with past coaches. There is enough folks on here that have connections who would know. Lots of smoke has almost always been correct. Then there are people like me who always hold out hope and continually be disappointed when coaches bounce. Not this time he is gone!

LOL. You really think Washington is going to wait till April? That is a thing of the past because of the transfer portal. We were stupid with waiting till after the final four last year. Washington is going to move quick.

For what it's worth (take that for what it's worth), I'm not hearing this. That doesn't mean we're not losing Sprinkles at the end of this season though. I'm always suspicious of this kind of stuff getting "leaked" right before a big game/tournament, etc.; it's almost like it's meant to hurt us. And I'm not blaming anyone in this thread, but there are people out there, some who lurk here, who would like to hurt us for their gratification and it wouldn't surprise me to see them "leak" (make what seems like an easy prediction) something like this.

I could be wrong.

Read the thread (viewtopic.php?p=869265) from when we hired Sprinkle and you'll see that people outside aggies22 had good information. Some random twitter account with no followers tweeted that it was a done deal (and I did not believe it as credible at the time). Some other people had "heard" the same thing and that information ended up being correct. In fact, aggies22 spends much of the thread saying no decision had been made and that he "would be surprised" if Danny got the job, but reading that thread with hindsight, the decision was likely already made at that point (I don't blame 22 for that. I believe he was right about Odom and there were other threads with "sources" that were wrong as well, and it isn't fair to grade somebody with all the facts in hindsight since 22 was just reporting what he heard). 22 is going to be the most plugged in person to official sources I would guess, but that doesn't mean that other members don't have sources to those who would know as quickly as the official sources. There are 3-4 posters that I would believe as much as 22.

most importantly, you'll also see that @NVAggie shared his disdain for sprinkles on food even then.

Not necessarily. I think it means it's done and agreed to behind the scenes, but not official (i.e., signed and public) until we are out of the tourney and they announce it. It's also possible that since it's not official, another candidate could come in (Pope) and undercut Sprinkle. If WA views Pope and Sprinkle as similar candidates, no reason they couldn't change course if Pope comes cheaper - especially if the AD that left was the guy leading the charge. All speculation by me on how all the info we're hearing on this board could all be true.

I think they're trying to say hopefully we're still playing on April 8th, aka, the national championship game.

If Sprinkle wants to leave I couldn't care less anymore. Absolute bush league to let this issue fester for so long without signing a contract extension or another contract elsewhere. Part of me wishes the school could let him go and find someone else. Sprinkle lost a lot of my respect with all of this smoke surrounding him without smothering the issue or just leaving. We have assistants that can coach too in the interim.

Doesn't make sense to me. There AD is leaving, but there going to hire a coach without a new AD. Seems to me the new AD would be tasked to find a coach.

Nope. It was a joke that if we win the championship on April 8th Washington wouldn't be able to make it official until after the game.

I just think the powers that be are trying to flush out moles with contradicting info to see where it leaks from. Anyone heard from Jimbo? Oddly quiet.

You mean like you were with the bet about us getting a 7 seed or better.

Daniel is going to need to get at least one win in the NCAA Tourney to earn back a little respect. And even then, I'm not sure if that will be enough.

What is absolutely Bush League is a major sports league with the money and fandom generated by Men's basketball and football doesn't have the power to enforce universal and uniform contract rules with coaches that prohibit all contact and interference with another school's coach until their championships are complete. If there was a hard and fast contractual rule in place where no one got an advantage by hiring early and there were teeth behind the tampering penalties none of this would happen.

The coach situation is only the tip of the iceberg with the NIL and transfer mess that is currently out of the NCAAs hands under current law but successful sports leagues can't operate long term like this.

Good point. 100% agree.
