First of all, no honest coach with integrity is going to talk to an AD about a job before there is an actual opening. So you gotta fire your guy first. Not because of who you can get from another college - but because they have shown they aren't gonna get it done for you and your school under current circumstances. They either don't have it, or lost it, and they need a new start and new momentum elsewhere and you need a new start and new momentum here. Step 1 - cut the cord. It isn't personal. Its a professional decision.
Next, no reasonable AD is going to ask a coach in the NCAA tournament to stop preparing his team for the tournament for even a couple of hours and talk about a new job. Shows a tremendous disrepect to that coach, that team, that school. Coaches need 48 hours in a day this time of year already. So do their assistants - who also have futures on the line. So step 2 is "wait until you can talk to ALL of the guys you might want to hire so you pick the right one in the right circusmatcnes - not a flavor of the minute." No honest coach with integrity is going to demand you forsake all others and look only at him. He is willing to prove his worth and put his PROGRAM up against all comers. He is not offended if you do your due diligence. and you cannot be offended when he makes you wait until he has finished his season.
The Hickory Barbershop doesn't hire.
Dolson knows what he is doing.
Y'all don't.
