From Babyvol:

Here's the deal. I've had more "sources" on this than anything else I've ever brought to the board. I've been within one phone call of 6 major boosters and Two of them are of the major 5 boosters that supposedly have brokered this deal. All are saying it's a done deal. Absolutely zero info is coming from athletic department except what they are leaking to media. As you have heard, the media is downplaying the possibility of Gruden. Some have asked me....don't you think the media knows some of these boosters? Yes, I believe they do....but I also believe these people know who are members of the media. I tend yo trust what they are telling their friends more. Could I be getting played? It's possible which is why I've kinda went quiet on the subject. I truly believe we will know this week one way or the other on Gruden. I've said from beginning I will believe it's him until Hart or Gruden say it's not. I also would think meetings with other coaches would be getting leaked soon. The names being leaked lately make zero sense. We are willing to make our next coach the highest paid coach and staff in country but you see names like Mora and Shaw and Koettner???? We aren't taking another west coast guy as you saw how that played out. Need a cultural fit. If u are willing to pay more than anyone else you start with the best in business and work your way down. If it's not Gruden I know I'll take alot of heat and that's fine dish it out. Just trying to bring what I hear. If its not gruden i'll never believe anyone outside athletic department again so don't look at me for info. If u knew who I was hearing this info from u would know why I believe it.......but like Stud says don't bet on it, anything can happen. Hopefully the negative info out there is smokescreen.

Right or wrong. The only ones that need to apologize is the mega-grudes.

These threads have been very entertaining and helped me personally deal with this sucky season.

Honestly I feel like I owe the og's some money for their time and information.

Thanks guys

Maybe they'll rise from the ashes if something good happens. :dance2:

I have no doubt whatsoever the opportunity is there for him to come to UT. Whether he will or not, I guess I'll know when it's announced officially.

Where is this 4 coaches have to be contacted requirement listed?

I've read that they are required to post the job, yet it does not appear to be posted as of 5 minutes ago when I checked. Maybe someone else will have better luck finding the posting than I did.

I have no clue. Someone who would know said that they have to contact 3 other coaches and wait a few days. He said Patterson, Strong and one other had been contacted through back channels. The third was actually Butch Davis and not Golden though, just double-checked.

The only thing I don't believe in this is his statements on why we haven't heard about interviews with other coaches yet. I can't imagine UCLA is letting Mora talk to us with a huge game against Stanford tomorrow, and the PAC12 champ game on the horizon. But hey, what do I know...

Still holding out hope something leaks tonight.

The AD is so tight lipped it seems impossible unless a booster goes directly to the media.

If the job isn't posted now either i Have some crow to eat as I said it must be posted or hart is delaying it to buy time for some reason. I assume I am wrong about it have to be posted.
