Usually when a school has a coaching opening there is a buzz within the fanbase as people speculate who would be the best fit and who will take their football or basketball program to that next level. In fact, in the weeks following the Tim Brewster firing traffic on TDG was through the roof. Same can be said in the weeks following Tubby Smith's dismissal. Yet for all of the speculation, candidate profiles and predictions both Gopher hires went to guys who received no more mention than a rogue commenter or two.
Even so, people love to speculate.
