Who is constantly trolling? I want him here but I don't think he's coming. And all you people attack people who disagree with you. I couldn't care less if you ignore me or not, but I'm gonna state my opinion like everyone else in here does.

or just learn to realize that disagreeing doesn't mean people are taking personal shots. Way too many hypersensitive people in this coaching search forum

Thank you so much for saying this. I want him here just as much as anyone, but in my opinion he's not coming. Then I get told to go hang myself. Real classy.

That's an EXTREMELY short-sighted answer. It takes more than a fancy head coach's name to have great recruiting. It takes a great staff of recruiters. It takes time to build relationships with these kids to earn their trust. Having Gruden as our coach will of course make more kids sit up and take notice but that doesn't guarantee commitments or signed letters of intent.

Ok, you got me. I'm on board for Golden or someone 'proven' like that! :crazy:

I don't think so. Hubbs said Hart is planning to fly the plane around next week. Hamilton did the same thing when they had Kiffin in the bag.

The thing about what Hubbs said is this:

There are now, no less than 7 major college programs in the Market for a head coach, not to mention assistants.

7.

Hart went nowhere last week and Hubbs said he is going nowhere this week, even though the season is now over.

Am I the only one that finds that odd?

Not saying it is/ or should be an invite only thread. Just wish some people would use a little common courtesy, that's all. I love a good debate just as much as the next person.

None of those three were the originals. Just saying. Slice was not buying it at all until later. That is how he has the nickname Buzz Killington. OCI and SBV joined in late in the second thread or early in the third. SBV validated and had the same info the OG's were relaying in Gruden I and II.

Says either Hart has his guy or he has the expediency of a slug.

I rarely agree with PJ, but when I do it's right now.

Too many people on VN think of threads and entire forums (i.e. recruiting) as their own personal property.

Too many moving pieces.....for it not to be Gruden......discussion of salaries, contacting potential staff, ex players, boosters involvement, ESPN, writers and media changing up....split between inside Knoxville and outside Knoxville.....salary negations and details.....MOU....18 million moved.....back to AD......kids at Webb school?.....no denials by either party.....Gruden's Timeline discussion...

A lot of moving pieces......no one has even clearly stated that they were contacted by the University.....any coaches......

What are we suppose to tell the number 2 guy on the list.....we offered Gruden and staff 9.4 mill a year but you were our second choice so we are only offering you and staff 4.5 mill to get it done...

2nd or 3rd choices aren't going to work here.....

Gruden's name will not die.....Hart is no dummy.......even if we don't hire him this hire will be looked at as the "hire of crossroads" for this program.....we have thrown a double wide trailer at him.....what do you think he is going to do.....it's time he steps up to the plate and accepts the job.....now when.

I'm not sure if you're referring to me or not but when did I come in here attacking people? I was told to go hang myself because I didn't think he was coming. Real courteous.

This is what I originally thought. However, a lot of our targets may actually be coaching this week. That said, I think it's all smokescreens. We're getting Gruden.

Question; If you think Hubbs is lying/wrong/smokescreening when it comes to info on Gruden, tell me why would you believe his info about Hart?

Exactly.

Regardless of what the media says, a blind man can see that this is not an administration in search mode.

It just isn't. People can argue, listen to the media, come up with lists upon lists of possible candidates, but just using basic common sense should be enough for anybody to know that Hart IS NOT SEARCHING FOR A COACH.

Awesome Jim!

Will you be around today. I need to chat with you?
Click to expand...

Yes. Call me when you have a moment. Sorry I didn't call you. I had to take Dad to the hospital to get admitted. He had his last Chemo Friday and had some serious issues. We'll discuss.
