Amidst rumors of an announcement coming regarding the West Virginia football head coaching opening, former WVU player and ESPN analyst Pat McAfee addressed what he does and does not know on Tuesday's edition of the Pat McAfee Show -- and he did it while decked out in WVU gear.
"I think whoever Wren [Baker] hires will be great for West Virginia, but I do not know who will be hired at West Virginia," McAfee said. "I'm not sure a decision has been made, and if it has, I do not know about it.
McAfee also noted that there are currently no plans for the news of the eventual hire to be broken on his show, though he'd likely be willing to make those arrangements if WVU wanted to do so.
"There's never been discussing about me going back to Morgantown or having an announcement of any sort on this particular program, although I would be open to it," McAfee said.
McAfee also discussed how, as a prominent donor, college football analyst, and program alum, he has tried to take a respectful approach to Baker and the WVU administration during the process.
"I've tried to remain as hands off of the situation as I can possibly be. I am a money person at the school and also cover college football...I think Wren Baker has tried to be respectable to me in the entire thing and I have tried to return the favor tpo him by staying out of it," McAfee said.
