I'm having some problem publishing blog articles. I wrote something up at 5 today, and it hasn't published. Someone kick the server again for me.
Update....this is what I wrote earlier this afternoon. Weird.
ESPN reports that Mike Leach has pulled his name from the search process at Washington. Too bad, the idea of him having an actual Pirate Ship anchored behind the stadium in Seattle should've been enough to lure him away. The NY Times also confirms the story, and suggests that he's now the front runner in Auburn. I still don't see the personality fit.
In other news, Mack Brown feels confident that he can keep Will Muschamp in Texas and avoid his return to Auburn.
Meanwhile, Auburn's solid recruiting class is getting a bit shaky. Scout.com has downgraded two three star linebackers to "soft verbal" in the wake of Tuberville's departure. More importantly, Raymond Cotton (4 star QB commit) will take some additional visits to Ole Miss and Arkansas pending the new hire. Cotton's father also says that Philip Lutzenkirchen (4 star TE commit) will attend college at the same place as Cotton, and both kids are now opening their search a bit.
Typically, you can expect the kids to waver, but most usually stick to their commitments. The exceptions are when the coaching staff brings in a disruptive / wildly different system OR the former recruiting coach goes to a rival school and calls on the kid. Given Auburn's situation at quarterback, Cotton is a MUST sign kid for the incoming coach.
