What I'm going on right now, by piecing all these over-optimistic rumors together with what I've heard from actual trustworthy people, is that Dooley needs 8 wins to keep his job, and that we have serious, serious interest in Gruden, and serious interest from Gruden.
I do not believe we have a deal with Gruden, and even if we do, it is only a verbal agreement, because Dooley is still our coach.
If we win Saturday, things get complicated. Then we'll have fans praying for a Vandy or UK loss, and that's always an ugly situation.
I do look forward to seeing what OCI's next username is, though, should Dooley win out.
