Heard they held interviews today. I'm still hearing Wells is likely HC and bringing some people with him, won't keep more than three current assistants. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Bland very well could as well, I just don’t know about them.

We should know something sooner rather than later. 9 total I believe were interviewed, maybe four or five of those current assistants and none were Mike Compton & Thad Wells was among them. You may know more specifics than me. I'm getting secondhand info., Lol. Yes, I'd say you're right sooner than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not suggesting he isn’t somewhat “off“ himself. With that said, objectively reading the letters and listening to the recordings provided about the FC incident can easily be separated from the source making the information public. Besides, rumors surrounding “initiation” rituals at FC we’re going around during my playing days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Football 1,532 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 The Bill Akers that is mentioned in the Facebook post, is that any relation to Chris?

Tru Blue 72 423 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 How quickly this turned into an Akers thread instead of a Mance and search for replacement thread. Hats off to Thad Wells, wish him and his family well and much success with the new position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
