| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Bone Yard with Steve Robertson. As always, I am your good friend and host Steve Robertson here on the |
| 0:06.9 | mysterious Thursday edition of the yard. No, I would have been with you yesterday, but I'll be honest with you, I kept delaying the show and delaying the show because I kept waiting for some news to break and develop, and it never came. |
| 0:22.8 | And so there have been several updates. |
| 0:27.4 | I have tried to provide an A.m. and a PM update over on a jeans page, |
| 0:32.4 | true maroon football forum, everything that I've heard, that I've been some of it, I've characterized as rumor. |
| 0:34.5 | There are a lot of things that I hear that I don't post for public consumption because I just don't believe it. And so that's part of this process. There's so many |

| 1:29.5 | candidates to kind of get things settled, well, those people aren't going to jeopardize their |
| 1:35.0 | standing by leaking things to the media. And so information is really beginning to kind of slow down. |
| 1:40.9 | And to me, that is a good sign. what that tells me is that this process is winding down |
| 1:46.1 | i had someone share with me this morning someone that i trust immensely that one of the candidates |
| 1:52.5 | had reached out to the search firm and this is a potential candidate trying to get uh face to face |
