Looks like we may have jumped the gun a bit on Mark Whipple. Sources close to Whipple said he hadn't been offered the job as of Tuesday night, even after reports came out that it was all but finalized. I also understand Whipple wasn't happy to see that he was named "the front-runner" for the job in today's headlines.

Now, Whipple could very well still be the guy. I think he probably will be the guy based on some things I've heard from other sources. But, as of last night, there was at least one other candidate still in the hunt, according to a source. There wasn't a specific name, but I believe it may have been Paul Pasqualoni. Maybe Hank Hughes is still there, too.

An announcement should come soon.
