"source" list

Submitted by Bo Schemheckler on

I would love to compile a list of people with "sources" whether famous or otherwise that claimed they knew what was going to happen so that when a decision is finally announced it can be remembered who knew what they were talking about and who did not. This way they can be held accountable and it will be useful for knowing who to listen to next time we are looking for a coach (20 years down the road that is). So please list anyone who has made one or more definitive statements about this and what they said.

Then Your source likely is just as good as Sam Webb's, Spaths or anyone else's (save Angelique). When guys like Schizzel and our interim ad talk, they talk to the freep. They most certainly do not talk to bloggers. If Angelique writes something, look at it, everything else is a guess. You also may want to look at who a particular coaches agent tends to leak to. Who else has reported that agent's hires in the past. Chances are it would be someone at espn.

Sam lost me a bit when he reported stuff that screamed like it was coming from inside The Fort (Brandon may stay, Hoke may stay, etc.) when literally nobody else was saying it independently.  I think he has good sources inside the program in terms of players and general team chemistry stuff, but his leads in the AD seems to be limited, at best.

It's absolutely fascinating. He's not dumb, he's fairly well versed in like, the space program, he's relatively religious, he has a warped up in depth knowledge of history. Like, one second he's saying how ridiculous it is that someone thinks we faked the moon landing, and his next tweet is about how aliens built the pyramids.

Shuts it down, I believe he is coming and all of these rumors of other coaches are being leaked by somebody in the AD to keep the media off of Harbaugh and keep them believing he isn't a candidate. Unless there is something family related, Harbaugh is coming.
