Tuesday Evening Update

Emphasis on volume with this post, so here it goes...

1) Navy HC Paul Johnson did go to Dallas last night, according to this report in the Dallas Morning News. This probably confirms the speculation of the SMU fans on this forum, who I mentioned last night went as far as going to the airport to stake out the arrival of a booster's plane from Baltimore.

2) Bill Wagner, the writer from the Annapolis Capital who has done some great reporting on Johnson, has a lengthy blog post with some new details on his movements over the past three days. Definetly a good read.

3) Grambling State's AD granted permission for Rod Broadway to speak with Duke about their vacancy, so now we know what sort of "business" Broadway was attending to when he landed at RDU this morning. Sources have indicated to me that Alleva met with Broadway in Durham today, so he's a definite candidate at this point.

Rod Broadway in town to talk?

The N&O's ACC Now blog is saying that Grambling HC Rod Broadway was seen leaving Raleigh-Durham International Airport today in the company of Duke's Assistant AD of Marketing, Mike Sobb.

Broadway has tried to defer most inquiries about his interest in the Duke job, but the blog report quotes him as saying that he was in town "taking care of some business here," so it's interesting to think whether or not that "business" includes a sit-down in Alleva's office.

David Glenn Update on Johnson, Broadway

David Glenn shared some new news on his blog, confirming that Georgia Tech is now in the hunt for Navy HC Paul Johnson, along with Duke and SMU. The entry says that meetings between Johnson and officials from each of the schools are forthcoming.

Also, Glenn added that former NCCU HC and current Grambling HC Rod Broadway will speak with Duke officials this week about the vacancy.

Last week, however, a source close to the Grambling football program told us that Broadway had no intentions of leaving his current job, so it remains to be seen if Broadway will develop into an actual candidate or not. At this point, he probably is on the school's secondary list, with guys like Paul Johnson, Steve Logan and Skip Holtz the primary targets.
