Something to think about: 

"Supposedly" a candidate was offered the job this week. It's Thursday, and there is yet to be an announcement. That could mean it was turned down? 

There is now a shift in who is running the weight program. Does this indicate Rogers has moved on? 

Say the job is still not filled by the weekend, it appears as if the process isn't over. So where will Lincoln go next? This thing is just now heating up.

I will say that the next head coach will not be from the current staff at Lincoln.

This sounds like the epic ending of an old batman episode LOL!

If someone is having to relocate there are a lot more things that come into play...jobs for spouses, arrangements for the remainder of the year...etc.  It's not always cut and dry.

Exactly. Who ever it is, will have to relocate, I wouldn’t say the job has been turned down, maybe it’s been offered and someone is trying to figure out if they can relocate and make it work before the say one way or another if they are taking the job? The housing market is crazy right now, so it might be tough finding a house nearby and getting moved so maybe that’s the hold up. If it’s someone from the current staff, it will be announced soon then.

I don't see them hiring someone they haven't interviewed.  I thought it was said none of the current assistants got an interview?

I’d say the process is still on going, who knows if the person they “supposedly” offered the job too ends up turning it down because of not being able to get relocated then other interviews may be held. Who says they have to interview someone already on staff? They know what those guys bring to the table, so sometimes their is no need to interview, could just make them an offer and move on, either way, their could be more interviews coming, we don’t know for sure, we don’t even know who’s been interviewed, I’ve heard their was only one interview, then I heard 3 have been interviewed so who really knows. 

I've personally never understood the figuring out if I can relocate after being offered a job that I took the time to apply and interview for. If my company comes to me and offers me a position out of town on a whim I understand the scramble. 

I completely get that it is a ton to pull together, especially in today's housing marking, but I think I'd be sure I'm willing to relocate and the hassles associated with that before I waste the schools time.

Typically the negotiation doesn't happen until after the job is offered...So School offers a job and that person then says what about my wife?  Or I need more money?  Or I need to be able to bring this assistant with me?...

Sometimes once the job is offered is when the real conversations start.

You're right that's when negotiations start, but schools don't run like they used to. They'll likely tell you your wife and assistants can apply to whatever jobs fit their degree. Good luck getting more money than allocated in today's school systems, you'd be better taking the job and talking to Boosters... and that's if it is just program money. If it's your salary forget it, most schools pay scales are set and what they are.

And that is when a coach might decide not to relocate!  If that is the approach of the school, it also tells you how much they really care about having a successful program.

The really good programs, make these things happen to get the coach they want!  

And yes, the number of schools willing to do these things are dwindling, thus IMO the reason lots of coaches are getting out!

So then it's not the relocation that's the problem. It's other issues. You're either prepared to relocate or not, IMO. 

Last sentence may be true.

No, if I am the coach, and I am not guaranteed a job for my wife or able to bring an assistant, I am not willing to relocate.  If the school does provide the things I ask for, I am able to relocate.

Again all of this is hypothetical and not related to this situation.

You shouldn't apply to too many schools in today's world then. Not many are going to promise momma a job.

I disagree, If momma is a teacher or works in the school, most schools/administrators understand they have to make this happen.
