1. Not an expert, but have been a fan for a long time

Dec 2017

living near a campus.

My observation has been that the hiring school leaves it up to the coach. Some coaches want to complete their season as they feel they owe it to their players that they recruited and coached.

Others can't wait to get the ball rolling, especially on recruiting and hiring assistants. Good assistants go fast as do good players.

As far as the courtesy of waiting until the season is done, well he who hesitates is lost.

There are huge reasons not to be a college sports fan. This is one of the bigger reasons not to. But living near a major school can be fun when our team wins.
