I think this is just like how he wanted Derek to get evaluated by NFL scouts even though he is 100% committed to returning next year. It's always smart to know where you stand in your profession. Both DC2 and CTD are promoting a brand even though they have no intentions of leaving this year.

1.)They program is in complete shambles...

2.)They are looking for immediate results...

3.)Short term good $$$$$ for a coach....

4.)Gotta be smarter then that, because long term this will very likely take a young HC's stock from "Hero to Zero"....

If TD has any long term aspirations he will do his time for a couple more seasons here, prove he can make it happen with his own recruits and build a long term solid reputation he can fall back on!

If he were to leave now to a program like Col, he in my opinion is very short sited and in tne very near future will be having coffee with Dan Hawkins at a Starbucks near you.

Lets assume and take as face value what DeRyuter said as to his decision to seek the Fresno HC job.

He has had aspirations becoming an HC in terms of his coaching career. His number one goal if the opportunity presented itself it would be an HC job in California primarily because of family consideration. He did have other opportunities elsewhere outside California but gave those opportunities no serious pursuit. Fresno represented the ideal situation for CTD, both personally and professionally. 

Now we all know life's goals change as we live it, however, I take it as CTD is happy right now at Fresno and there is a high probability for long-term. I think any change will have more to do with condition change such as conference viability or administration relationships than anything else. ....anything else meaning more money outside of California.

I would not be suprised to see him take a job like CAL, or Wisky if offered....There are a lot of things CTD was expecting that haven't happened.....Training Table, team game night hotel, etc....

Gotta tell you, if it was just TD leaving....I would say it is what it is, as long as the staff pretty much stayed in place.

Problem is if he goes we will lose a few Asst Coaches as well......I think you could keep Schramm, and TMAC is pretty Rooted here.....But Toth is gone...

It wasn't just twitter in this case, though it is possible the story itself will be ultimately B.S. The Denver Post reported it on its Web site and is still reporting it but acknowledging Jones' denial, but according to the paper he will eventually accept the offer. It just comes down to Jones actually showing up to his press conference or one of the schools issuing a press release before proclaiming this as gospel. 

Now, the Dykes-to-Cal buzz so far is a Twitter-only affair.

He hasn't.  Not officially.  He hasn't signed on the dotted line and so both sides can truthfully deny it and will until he does.
