A few more notes

A few notes to pass along:

--- UW is likely to assemble a search committee to aid in the process, but it will be for helping with overall philosophy and things of that sort with Mark Emmert and Scott Woodward making the final decision.

--- The school may also hired a search firm, which can aid in keeping things secret.

--- Sources have indicated that UW may be willing to pay upwards of $2 million, which they would have to do to get Gary Pinkel, who is already at that level. Willingham was making about $1.6 million with incentives.

--- Speaking of Pinkel, he had no real comment on the job when asked about it today, which can probably be taken as an indication that he's interested.

--- The Sporting News has this on the search. But I'm not sure how big a factor Lane Kiffin is going to be in this. I just think there are others of more interest.

--- ESPN's Ted Miller, a former beat writer and columnist here, says Willingham was never a good fit at UW. No question UW will be looking for someone who may better understand what he is getting into from the get-go.

--- Miller also has this on where the search goes from here.

--- Rivals.com says Mora and Pinkel are the top two.

All for now.
