I'm still reading back through these threads, but thought I'd link them here since we are drawing so many parallels to the coaching search last year:

Biggest overall speculation thread about new coach, started before Odom officially was gone:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=66850

First thread I found dedicated to Sprinkle, started by @ineptimusprime (good call!):
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=66902

Chatter from MSU board referenced:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=66933

Thread where news that Sprinkle was the guy first "broke" (four days before hiring):
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=66976

That one ominous thread that I'm still not sure what it was referencing:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=66936

Just finished the "We Got Our Guy" thread from a year ago. Wild ride then, too. I like how the Venn diagram of those who were saying Bovee was screwing it all up back then (before the hire was announced), and those saying Sabau is screwing it up now, is nearly a perfect circle. I mean, maybe Sabau does suck? But the attitudes and presumption before the fact with some posters is pretty consistent.

I'm here for my flowers!

FWIW, this year I am team TK. I think all of the seriously-discussed candidates (TK, Todd, Jerrod) are 6/10. I would give a slight edge to TK because: (1) longer history of success than anyone else; (2) most interesting roster to pillage of the named options, and therefore, greatest chance to be most successful next season.

If a Wardle (Bradley) or Henderson (South Dakota St.) came out of the woodwork and was the move, I'd honestly probably rate those two as 7/10 options. Just not a ton of smoke there to suspect anything is happening with those two.
