If all these other jobs open up we can't afford to wait until January. It'll be slim pickings unless by some chance Gruden really would want to come here and would turn down every other offer. If not during the season, right after the UK game. Can't wait until the new year.

I agree. I just dont think they fire him before the season ends. I'm hoping we can at least go to a bowl game which is why i said Jan. in the first place.:whistling:

People like SBV crack me up. They make very vague comments then sit back and watch everyone freak out without responding

Does anyone remember the negative publicity UT got for firing Major's mid season?
Does anyone remember the negative publicity and poor performance from UT when Fulmer was fired during the season (we lost to wyoming)?

Whether it is right or wrong, it would be horrible publicity to do it now. I mean there are shots of the guy in an effing wheelchair. Do you know how cold that would seem to the media? They would eat that stuff up and we would look TERRIBLE. You couldn't get ESPN to shut up about it, other coaches would tell every recruit in the nation not to go to UT because they fire their coach who just had emergency surgery, and now they have done it twice. They would say, UT has no loyalty to anyone, so you don't need to send your son or daughter there. I am telling you, there is no way.

Do you guys remember the problem with Tubberville being back stabbed at Auburn? Same deal here. You want Hart to have a guy lined up, but unless that is done behind the back of the current coach, it doesn't happen. IF it is done behind the back of the coach, it makes us (again) look like total a$%hats.

Couple that with the allegations that Pat was forced out and you are talking about being black listed in the coaching and media ranks for years. This is not an easy situation, it isn't just about a coach it is about the legacy of a whole University. In this situation, it is far better to lose a few games and make corrections after showing that you have exhausted all opportunity than to act hastily and to enter an unrecoverable tail spin.

Simmer down, the season will play out and we will either be much better or looking for a new coach. It is a win-win.

Yeah it wouldn't have anything to do with him going 0-whatever the number is now vs ranked teams...

Gruden sitting in a recruit's living room with his super bowl ring on is 10 times better than Dooley sitting in a recruit's living room with a below .500 record and no wins that matter

I wish they would fire him 10 minutes ago where we can get our recruiting in order where the next head coach wont have excuses for a year or 2 where he can get a free ride and blame it on the timing of the hiring.

This is the only elaboration I will give:

I can confirm that through back channels, at least one coach has been contacted. He is not currently coaching a team. There is interest.

And the other piece of the puzzle is that Jimmy Sexton has been busy making calls.
