I think a lot of it has to do with the whole "been there, done that" feel to this coaching search thing. Hubbs himself has stated that there is some mutual interest between UT and Gruden, and that Gruden has contacted potential staff members for the college level specifically, but I think Hubbs' doubt stems from an I need to see it to believe it standpoint.

As of now, I'm kind of with Hubbs in that I need to see it to believe it. UT just seems to get burned when it comes to these things. But, Hamilton isn't the AD, so I'm a bit more optimistic.

Exactly. This is just like Gruden to Miami, Harbaugh to Michigan, and Rich Rod to Bama. I would love to see Gruden here, but its still a pipe dream. We all know that the UT job intrigues Gruden, but that doesn't mean he will take it.

The coaching forum looks exactly like Grudenville or Hogville. There is hardly any difference at all. People are clinging to so called "insiders" because they want to believe it so badly.

I'm not saying a pipe dream can't happen. It happens all the time. Gruden may very well become our coach and I will be the happiest person on this board, but its not even close to being done if it does happen. I've seen this too many times before. People forget Gruden actually interviewed for the Miami job.

Mora Jr would be a solid backup plan for sure. I wonder where Hyams is getting this Stoops stuff. That seems to be his guy. I am hoping it is Gruden and that we can let it be known before mid December for recruiting purposes.

November 25th Hart will be seeking permission from UCLA to contact Mora. Hart wants a coach by mid december if possible. Maybe its just a back up plan in case Gruden says no or backs out since a lot of people are saying its done.

a lot of people whom you know, or just a lot of people on here and speculating in the media? :hi:

Probably Hubbs. The Stoops interested was said this morning. Stoops is probably using it for leverage though like Jimbo.

I dont know that a deal has been put in front of gruden, a lot of other people are saying that. I should have worded that differently. We hear a lot of Gruden stuff from boosters.

I don't know if anyone has asked you, but what is your take on Rucker saying most people in the A.D would be shocked if it wasn't Gruden?

Don't forget Shannon for DC too. I just hope people don't confuse his intrigue with it being a done deal. I don't care too much if the process takes awhile, but only if they make a worthy hire.

I need to stop getting on here. It's maddening getting on here and getting excited and let down every 2 seconds from all the different reports.

as usual rucker has no clue. unless he meant people within the ad would be shocked if it were gruden.

No, he clearly meant the other way around. Thanks for answering tho. Hubbs pretty much said the same thing except saying he said higher people in the A.D. Rucker must be using hearsay from people who weren't given the info first hand.

Isn't this Jim Mora Jr's first year at UCLA? Pretty sure he was hired Dec, 2011. Would he really leave after 1 season with UCLA? I doubt it.
