Agreed. I think a link to recent past is helpful for all the reasons stated.

Basically says Maggard keeps it close to the vest but what he's heard from sources in Lafayette and other areas is that not many candidates discussed besides Deggs at this point. Says pay is not an issue from his sources and it's basically up to Deggs.

Not a huge update, but Rogers tends to think we're getting closer

He closes with:

If I was a betting man, I’d still place all my chips on Matt Deggs being the next head man for the Cajuns. But stay tuned. Maggard is an excellent AD and a master chess player type, and absolutely could have a surprise up his sleeve.

For now, it’s Deggs for me.

I am sure more would like the job. Not sure there are more seriously competitive candidates out of 300 total D1 programs that would want to take time to apply.

What he said it was what many are expecting. I've heard from the beginning that Deggs has some reservations about taking over the helm at UL in this manner. I hope he does accept the offer. There are also said to be several surprises beyond the names mentioned in this thread that are interested in the position. I have no clue who they are, Dr. Maggard is handling this process professionally, no leaks.
