Was Huffins, or anybody for that matter, tabbed as new head coach? Today was supposed to be the day.

Is Huffins the Head Coach or will there be someone else directing the Bear program?
Today was the deadline for the 3rd reposting of the job!
Actually, yesterday was the deadline for the re-posting. But, as of now, it seems that no one has been named as the new head coach at Cal. What gives?
huffins....
The hiring of Huffins would be a PR disaster for CAL. You just can't hire a coach who is basically a college drop out to run the program.

I completely disagree. My masters degree makes me no more qualified to be a head coach than a guy who worked for years to learn and practice the sport, and dedicated himself to gaining life experience with the sport at a level that few have ever reached. He had an opportunity to train full-time (decathlon training is extremely time-consuming) and work part-time, and took advantage of that opportunity while he could.
He now has a chance to share what he's learned with kids at the college level, while completing the two classes that didn't transfer so that he gets his degree from Cal, and not Wake Forest or Georgia Tech where he coached the past few years. Sorry, I just can't buy into the "drop-out" tag. Maybe if I had world and olympic medals to show for my hard work, as well as a college degree, I'd be a little more pissed about Huffins getting a head coaching job, but I don't, and I doubt you do either. This a job as a coach we're talking about here, not an English professor.
But all that's neither here nor there as no one has been named as of yet.
The job is not as track coach it is director of track and field! It looks like crap to have a school which prides it's self on academics hire an individual without a college degree! Chris screwed up he has had plenty of time to take a few classes.
