"I haven't offered it to anybody and they've said no."

[Antwill]

I think he has his man.

That could be translated that he HAS offered it somebody and the guy said yes. Perhaps he still has a game to coach next week.

Exactly.

Double negatives are tricky.

Maybe, but he also talked about having 6 candidates, which makes me nervous.

Misdirection.

There was an article about Moos which mentioned that he always maintains a list of possible coach replacements for each sport (apparently unlike SE who was too busy attending rifle and bowling meets). I wouldn't read too much into that other than he likes a lot of backup plans.

could mean he offered.
and they said, 'i'll be right back...'
they called fl a.d. and said, 'hey, we have a X-yr X million dollar offer from N, can you do my client better...?'
and fl a.d. said, 'yes'.
and bidding war...

You keep all your options open until the contract is signed.

“Offered” is a funny word.

Clearly Bohl is our next head coach. Does he have to come out and spell it for the rest of you? He couldn’t have been any clearer.

"Would you say yes if we offered you blank?" Isn't an offer

 

[Can o' corn]

That's a politician's comment there.

Matt Campbell will do a nice job at NU. Congrats! You has to go to Ames to find a replacement....who'd have thought?

I would be happy with this, great fit. But I still think he is Moos backup plan for Frost.
