The silence from Hart makes me think he has his guy. He's getting a lot of criticism right now with everyone wanting an immediate announcement on Dooley but in the end he'll be looking like a genius. JMO

I guess we will have to settle for a lower tier HC , or coordinator.

We can't get much more of a lower tier coach than CDD. After that stupid run off of the clock, I would be happy with just about anyone else who is not name Petrinads. I went off about it in the stands before I saw anyone else talking about it.

I'll admit I spent some extra time digging it out of my dresser. I had her pegged fairly quick and I knew she would not find the humor.

I did ok in the class...but I could tell she was dying for me to write something she could pounce on.

It's a tragedy we only get him for one year. There is just something beautiful about watching someone do something, only the way they can do it.

He woulda shattered this conference if he was here for 3 years.

Agreed. What's sad to me is that we will be a game over .500 at best, while having 4-5 guys drafted in the first 3 rounds.

I think he'll represent the orange. Every now and then he may say Hutch or his HS. It seems like everyone does it every now and then. It's not even original anymore, and within seconds, a thread pops up in the FF if the guy played for UT.

I lurked a long time before I joined this site and quickly came to understand that Larry, AKA LWSVOL, isn't wrong.

Seriously. His batting average is better than everyone, with all due respect to The Oracle, Mr. skeeter33418. I've NEVER known LWSVOL to be wrong about something. He's always dead-on, from his August assessment of the team's chances to situations going on in the AD.

If LWSVOL says something, I believe it. The same players that got played in the Shannon deal are many of the same folks leading the Gruden charge, including SBV and DocVol, both of whom I respect. I do not believe them to be intentionally misleading anyone. But the fact that someone knows a booster, or even a couple, doesn't mean they're right. Believe it or not, the boosters don't make the decisions, even though they have influence. At the end of the day, if a coaching hire is forced upon an AD and doesn't pan out, it's the AD's livelihood and reputation at stake, not the boosters.

So here's a little advice. Temper your expectations. When LWSVOL speaks, you listen, even if you don't like what he has to say. He's not flashy nor very eloquent, but he has loads of wisdom and insight into the program. And when other's dismiss his opinion by saying he's not as connected as he used to be, just wait. He'll be right and they'll be wrong.

These are my observations on insiders. There are two that I trust implicitly. The Oracle (skeet) and LWS.
