[NU Sports] Re: Walker

[Michael Vance]

I am also not aware of anyone -- pro, college, high school, or Pop Warner 
-- making any offers to Lloyd Carr, Jim Tressel, Kirk Ferentz, Terry 
Hoeppner, Ron Zook, Barry Alvarez (or Brett Bielema), or Joe Paterno.  That 
doesn't mean that these offers don't exist, nor does it confirm their 
existence.  My lack of awareness of any such offers could lead me to 
surmise any number of things, but it certainly does not lead me to anything 
resembling a firm conclusion.  It could mean:

1) Contact has been made but immediately and quietly rebuffed.

2) Contact has been made and welcomed.  Some negotiations have taken place 
and could have concluded without agreement, or they could still be taking 
place as I type, but either way it has been done (or is being done) 
discreetly and quietly.

3) There is a strong perception that Randy Walker and Northwestern are 
extremely pleased with each other right now and as such there would be no 
point, so no contact has been made.

4) There is a strong perception that Randy Walker is such a horrible coach 
that no one wants to talk to him.  He is a pariah in his field.  ADs and 
Presidents of other universities shun him for fear that whatever his 
affliction, it may be contagious and rub off on them and their programs, 
causing them to spiral into mediocrity.

There, is that what you wanted to hear?

The general public's lack of awareness of any such recruitment is 
completely and totally meaningless.  It's perfectly possible to be a good 
coach without being a "hot" coach.
