The longer this goes on the less likely he ends up taking the job IMO. One way or the other a decision needs to be made. If he does turn it down, especially after that interview he did this morning, he's going to become very unpopular amongst those in the volnation. Would be a troll job of epic proportions. His supposed reasoning for turning it down the first couple of times in this search was that he didn't want to risk hurting friendships he has developed over the years at UT. I would think if he turned it down again after how his camp has handled it that would hurt some friendships.
They are not going to go ahead and announce it just to satisfy curious George or fans.
