I like Petrino as a coach in principle...but with his history and the situation they're in right now, the combo of the two would be combustible, to say the least. We could witness the complete disintegration of a program

I have no inside info, but in my opinion if gruden was the man, the fan base would alrdy know, t shirts would be on sale, billboads exc, there is no smoke or coverup, we have simply just have not signed anyone yet,.

I have this feeling there is someone out there with 10K t-shirts in UT orange already on order with "Grudenmania" or something like that.

And someone else with an order for 10K worth of Chucky dolls
 
Petrino personalty scares me, as he could be just one bike ride away from another complete mess.

For the record the affiar looked bad but that isn't what caused him to be terminated. It was that he gave a over a hundred thousand $$$ year cushy job to the broad. Over a hundred people applied and she gets the position with few interviews. they had to can him for fear of the others suing University for favoritism as in she committed sexual favors or a paid position.
 
Here is what I've heard:

1. An agreement was reached two weeks ago
2. From the beginning Gruden wanted distance between the fire and the hire.
3. There are only a handful of people that really know what is happening.
4. Gruden has called several coaches about coaching with him at UT. Most of which have been covered in the Gruden thread.
5. Gruden really wants to be here.

Here is what I know:
1. UT has been dealing with Gruden since the spring.
2. Academic/financial issues between the AD and the administration have been addressed.
3. Dooley is gone.
4. There are some big boosters who still don't think Gruden is a possibility (found this out on Thanksgiving Day). One is a big spender, but not among those most discussed frequently on this board.


Here is what I think:
1. Dave Hart needs credit for the hire.
2. Even if things were signed, we have always been on Gruden's timetable.
3. If a deal is not signed by now, I doubt that it is Gruden.
4. I still think it is done and we will hear soon.
5. Most of the stuff linked from the AD including the coaching list, is bunk.
