IMHO, they obviously fired him to keep Williams at Kansas, no matter what the chancellor may say.

FACTS:

1- Smith met with Williams at his hotel after the Syracuse game. Williams said the job wasn't discussed.

2- Smith called Williams Tuesday night to tell him the the ob would be formally offered.

3- Dick Baddour called KU Wednesday morning to ask for permission to talk with Williams.

4- Wiliams cancelled his recruiting trip plans for Wednesday and Thursday.

5- He has been offered the job.

6- Bohl says Williams "crushed" him.

RUMORS:

1- There was a team meeting tonight at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence.

2- Williams is scheduled to fly to NC on Thursday

3- There is a press conference scheduled for tomorrow afternoon in Chapel Hill.

JUST ME:

I still think he's coming. I feel confident that the call from Smith on Tuesday night was to confirm that Roy would take the job if offered. I don't believe they would have offered him the job again unless he had assured Smith he would come.
