The narrative does make sense. I am 💯% all in. My only question that has me going with babyvol's timeline instead of chattvol is the recruiting factor. If all the recruits were held off until Vandy weekend how can we make a pitch without a coach in place?If they wait til season is over, do they bring him Gruden in after the game ends and then break news late Saturday night/early Sunday? Seems they would want to break it at a time of day when they have a captive audience. Late Saturday after a potential loss or early Sunday when most are in bed or at church doesn't seem to fit. Recruits would be blowing up social media.

That makes me think it happens after MNF on Tuesday like babyvol said. We will more than likely lose against LSU and be eliminated from a bowl. No reason to worry about taking anything from players at that point. Why not give the returning players a reason to audition for their new coach against Vandy?

Just my 2¢

I think Gruden, as sensitive as he is about fired coaches, would insist waiting till the end of the season for the sake of the old staff. As far as having a captive audience, you had over 8k fans watching a cell phone periscope broadcast through a chain link fence in the middle of a work day...twice. I don't think a captive audience will be a problem. And if I were a new AD that was not a popular choice to begin with...I would not be letting this situation fester out of control. Currie don't look worried & he's not scrambling to interview anybody else yet.

I'm sure many would be upset but it might be the best they can do. Frost is going to Nebraska it seems and Kelly might not get the job. LWS said earlier that UF power brokers don't want Kelly.

Who else would they get? Maybe Mullen I guess.

Frost was a done deal to Florida a few days ago. Not ready to buy the Nebraska news just yet.

I truly think we are gonna make a great hire and Florida is gonna get Norvell.

That is just incredible that the UF job has fallen down the desired list isn't. Of course they could hit Kelly but aren't we pretty much in the same situation? If no Gruden then maybe Mullen? Not really that wow hire anymore after Gruden it seems.

Much more optimistic tone from LWS this evening. Looks like he stated again that we would wait till after Vandy if Gruden falls through.

I'm thinking he's saying if it's Gruden, it could be before Vandy, but it would have to be after the last regular season game before anything official happens with a sitting head coach.

I think this is what he is implying as well.
