I’m trying to breathe through this, but this decision is a program maker-or-breaker. Literally everything is on the line and a lackluster hire by DG could ruin any and all momentum.

Would be a good test to see if an informant would leak information. Too juicy to not disclose knowing the masses would revolt.

Well played.
Game of thrones had an excellent scene where they distributed 3 pieces of information to 3 different people to find out the mole.

This is also called a barium meal. Per Google AI: In espionage, a "barium meal" refers to a tactic where an intelligence agency deliberately feeds a suspect with a piece of false information, designed to be traceable, to see if they leak it to an enemy, essentially acting like a "canary trap" to identify a potential double agent by observing if they act on the provided false intelligence; the term draws a parallel to the medical procedure where a patient drinks a barium liquid to visualize their digestive system on an X-ray, allowing the agent to "see" who is passing on the information.

I actually chatted for a bit with LG a few weeks ago. His son plays for Providence Day in Charlotte. Not sure how he would do as a head coach if I am being honest, but he is a nice guy. I lost respect for him after the WFU/Ville scandal:

After the cheating scandal, I have no use for LG running App’s program. We’d likely end up with NCAA sanctions for what LG and (insert blue blood that never gets penalized) did.

Those 3 seem more likely candidates than Galloway.

Agree - with all the candidates I've seen rumored Galloway would be at the bottom of my list by far.

I hope I am wrong on Galloway. Info from an old high school coach in the triangle area that still hears a lot of things in the circles he runs in so hopefully he heard wrong on this one.

Why? He wasn’t the only person involved in the decision. Sofield was part of the process as well.

Let’s fire them all. I would rather have Clark back.
