College Football: Coaching Search Update (Part 5) — Special B.O.R. Meeting

It's been 36 days since Texas State fired Brad Wright as head coach of the football team. Until this point, little has been known other than the hiring of a search firm (Parker Executive Search) to lead the quest.

Well, it seems as if there is a little bit more going on behind the scenes.

Several sources have confirmed that the Texas State University System Board of Regents called a special meeting for Jan. 3. This is big for several reasons:

• It's the first Monday of the new year and Texas State Director of Athletics Dr. Larry Teis said he wouldn't have a head coach on the ground until the first week of 2011.
• Parker Executive Search's office is closed until Jan. 3.
• The Board of Regents meets on special occasions when it pertains to athletics to approve potential hirings as well as salaries, among other things.

More news as it becomes available.
