Well, sure. All we're doing is chatting about who we'd like to see, or like not to see. I believe Foley when he said on Monday that he hadn't spoken to anyone yet, and that he won't speak to a coach who is still in season. There won't be any real information probably for weeks, but that doesn't matter, because the speculation stage is one of the best parts of a coaching change for fans. I enjoy hearing everyone's opinions about which coaches they like, or don't like, and why.
