Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLII

[Jimmy Football]

Smokescreen and misinformation. it’s coming from the AD side which is trying to keep a gag order on the Gruden opportunity. Think about the LWS quote from last night. Gruden wants nothing to be public knowledge so he has his media mouthpieces out there trying to clear the smoke.

I think it has more to do with them trying to keep new coach speculation at bay while Butch is still around. Once a move is made, if there's fire behind all this smoke, their tune will change.

Edit: I just realized that I'm not sure if I'm actually disagreeing with you.

Lol yes I think we’re pretty close in the same thought. I think a lot of is just trying to reel in the big fish that you may have hooked without breaking the line. Keeping info locked down helps the chances of reeling in Gruden.

Inside story split between Florida Gators and football coach Jim McElwain

Florida sounds like a complete and utter disaster to work for. A smear article against Mac makes them look even worse. Crap boosters, unglued administration, meddling former championship coach. Entitled fan base and bizarre media obsession.

What could go wrong? Oh wait.

Ok, we do disagree a bit. I think WNML is more concerned with not disrespecting Butch than with landing Gruden. But yeah, I don't think they all genuinely believe there is 0 chance.

Lot of noise for Gruden yesterday and today and Gruden's camp is making this look like this is almost done. I was about 5 percent before, now its 70%

Going to be a long few weeks if we have to wait until after Vandy

Do you think they would announce before Vandy

Just took Chief off ignore as well.

I use it for a temporary solution for the most part. I keep leb on ignore though.

Leb is only one of two posters still on ignore for me.

But look how firing Mac in that fashion got them any coach they wanted. I mean look how fast they were able to lock up Chip Kelly...

Agree 100%. This isn't an either/or thing picking recruits vs. a good coach. We need people to talk with Cade asap with who they believe is going to be coach.

John Currie will not do this. The recruits will know likely a few hours before we do.

I've always assumed that Leb and Bruin were one and the same, or at least related somehow.

This is why it's hard to believe for me. Gruden wants to lock it down and one of the most reliable people comes in and tells everybody and they want to keep it under wraps from Butch and everybody on VN knows about it and people are reporting we offered him 10 million. I think it's a troll job, its playing out the same as last time.

I don’t see how you keep him. He is scheduled to come on official visit for Vandy game. New coach will not be in place by then, lame duck coach for official visit will do nothing. Week after has official at Notre Dame and has promised UGA last visit.

That only leaves new coach 16 days to speak with him.

I don’t see it happening.

Unless it’s Gruden

Oh, okay I see what you’re saying. I wasn’t talking specifically about WNML as I was in general.
