He also brought up that if hart keeps DD, DD HAS to be the guy for the future and Hart has to commit to whoever he chooses in a long term decision. He said that whoever he chooses can't have this uncertainty around coaching next year. IMO, it doesn't seem like he thinks DD is gonna make it, but he won't come out and say it

Hubbs is gonna pitch out info that can be taken a lot of different ways for a reason.

This....exactly like we discussed in this thread yesterday afternoon. And nobody who had good info ever said Monday was the day.....only a possibility, with caution for patience.


Also, on the question of Grudens offensive scheme....he has spent the last few years attending clinics and meeting with coaches and coordinators around the country learning what works in college. That is not conjecture, but something he has spoken aboyt. I believe he has had this move in his mind for sometime, and will unveil a system that has been developed for success at a high level in his new endeavor. It won't be a rehashed west coast/ Tampa offense.

I asked this question yesterday but didn't get an answer. Whose idea was it to bring Gruden in last spring to the UT coaching clinic? Was it Gruden's or was it UT's? If it was UT, does anyone know who from UT decided to bring him in?

Got great news the minute I walked into work this morning from the kind of people you want to hear it from. Again, not my direct information but now a second person claims to have seen the MOU, and that it contains an "unprecedented" compensation package for the NCAA. Also was the second person that should know that confirmed the talks started getting serious when Denver played Atlanta in Atlanta on MNF and a certain booster and Johnny Majors flew down and met with Gruden.

They went on to say that just Monday there was a phone call between Dooley and a certain "mega booster" that got quite heated and resulted in Dooley hanging up the phone. Supposedly this is one of the things that cleared the way and got Cheeks fully on board.

Could be just another rumor but is in line with everything else I have heard. Also this guy has never said anything directly to me about it, but it came up in a private meeting this morning. This is one of the people I wanted to hear this from, because it is the least likely person I know to make up something like this. He stated it as a fact, and in our business relationship and the people he said it in front of it could be majorly detrimental if made up. He is 100% convinced Gruden is coming. I am 99%.

If CJG comes here I will be extremely excited. But.... It does scare me a little if he brings in a new offense that has never been even tested to see if it works. Not saying it won't but come on it might be the highest paid contract ever for someone when the product they bring to the table is still in its testing phase.

Not what I said....again.

He has learned at clinics and with other coordinators and coaches what DOES work, and WHY it works in college. That is what he will bring to the table, along with the ability to coach his talent to perform it.

Don't expect some all-new concept, rather a concentrated mixture of very effective schemes.

Exactly. No way he could possibly think he is the long term solution. Hopefully the rumors of Gruden wanting something long term is true and we have him for 10 plus years. Need him in it for the long haul and no telling what kind of damage he could do in college football and at a school like UT.

Scheme will be secondary with Gruden. Think Bama and LSU in their prime. With the level of athlete Gruden will bring to UT, we will impose our will on opponents regardless of scheme recognition. That is not to say the Xs and Os won't be solid, just saying that people will know what we are doing and won't be able to stop it.

Which is amazing.

A lot of smoke until the end guys and gals. So and so to here, so and so to there. He's coming, he's not coming. Just as its been for the last month. It's not going to change until its done. Keep your eyes on the prize! It's there!

We predicted this two weeks ago. It will get stronger until the very end so they can take the focus off of Gruden to the media. If we still have a coach , there is no coaching search. Perception is reality in public relations and the media.
