After reading through all three threads, here is my opinion...important to note I have zero sources, this is just my theory.

I think the AD is protecting themselves with plausible deniability. Probably what has happened is after the Bama game, or maybe earlier, Hart went to the money men and said he might be looking for a new coach at the end of the year or sooner, and to go shoot for the stars and gauge interest from the biggest name or names out there. From that point on, the AD has been removed from the process, save Hart with maybe some questions about buyout money. The rumors about a deal being brokered are leaking from sources on the booster side working independent of the AD. Maybe a deal has been brokered, maybe it hasn't, but there may have been a single contact with Hart that has basically said we a a big fish lined up and paid for, should you want to pursue a change in guard. Everyone knows who it is, but nobody is saying it outright, for obvious reasons.

Having the donors handle the leg work and get it done protects Hart and explains the leaked rumors and simultaneous denial of all things Gruden coming from the AD right now. It seems at this juncture, the confirmed people with sources in the AD (skeeter, deerpark) are saying they have heard nothing and this is nonsense. The sources prevalent in thus thread might have sources close to the big money getting this done, hence the two different camps with opposing opinions.

Seems reasonable to me.

Bout time for a HIPAA violation in here. How long before he sits down in front of his 27" MAC, sitting on his hand crafted cherry desk?

I think we should name the first 3 "Episode IV, V, & VI", and then have prequels once the deed is done.

By the way, this is my 2000th post. When I hit "Submit", will confetti shoot out of my laptop (or does that only happen on 27 inch iMacs on handmade cherry wood desks)?


nope. damn it.

There was a post today of a quote saying "He better be able to coach because if he signs we are stuck with the little bastard" What was that all about?

Let's go ahead and start rationalizing now!

Gruden? That guy wasn't the right fit, anyway. He never would've been a great coach in college. He was an NFL guy.

Actually, I will never believe that Gruden will not be our coach. Even if we hire another coach, I will refer to him as Gruden. I will live in denial as long as I live. I will say after every game, win or lose, "man, I am so glad that Gruden is our coach. We are lucky to have him".

Mothers will shield their children when they pass me on the sidewalk. I will be alienated from my family and they will say, "he does so well when he is on his meds".

Long live UT Coach Jon Gruden.

Amen.

DP gave you all the best update there is and you choose to ignore it. Few on this board are as wired in as he is. Tifwiw.

Not that I dont, or do, I honestly dont know who to trust... But why do you put more trust in SBV? If Skeeter works somewhere in the AD, wouldnt he know as much as anyone? What is SBV's ties? Again, just curious, not trying to stir the pot...

Because anytime he says something it usually comes to fruition. I have never seen him miss.

I've pretty much stayed here since an exorcist got the Dooley out of me. Just hoping its true so this program can get some excitement and national attention for something other than ass beatings.

It is absolutely beyond me why he still is employed. He is the sorriest excuse for a coach I have ever had the displeasure to coach a team I follow. That is saying alot because I am a braves fan, and Freddie Gonzales coaches them.
