I am not an insider, but I do have a connection to the Hawks family. I also have a buddy who is a college coach and was recently hired away from the school he was coaching. I also have some general experience with coaching contracts through my profession. With these three dynamics in my background I'd ask you to consider the following points.
1. There is no binding offer with any coach right now, nor would such a deal be legally possible.
2. A year ago my buddy told me on a Friday that he was going to school Y and ended up at School X, two days later over assistant pay. His agent had been talking to several schools for months, but most progress occurred within a week of the season ending.
3. Moos is talking to many agents right now. He certainly has a primary target. But he'd be a damn fool to put all his eggs in one basket. There is contingency planning and spitball talks with multiple agents, which will naturally create confusion and misinformation as to where things are heading.
4. Scott Frost is very wary of the fishbowl that is NU and the possibility of this being a dead end for his career if it does not work.
5. Uncle Howard ain't spilling the beans to even his own family members.
6. It will be a mad dash after the Iowa game, buckle up and take everything you hear with a grain of salt.
