It's ok to discuss other options.

Getting impatient, but getting by. You??

Ready for something to happen. Getting tired of all the "he's not coming" and "he is coming" arguing. He!! Just believe who you want to believe and quit trying to convince everyone that your opinion is the right one. I still believe he is coming because the OGs aren't trying to force their opinions down anyone's throat. They're just putting it out there for people to decide for themselves.

I think the presser was taken to literally. I think he was stating where you start when looking for a candidate but aren't limited to those traits.

His winning at temple was simply a miracle. He took over the worst program in college football with only 3 wins in the 3 years before he got there. He won 17 games in his last 2 years. That is a very serious history in taking a program at its lowest point and turning it into a winner.

Why so?

Holy Crap, I Have a Source!

And it's a real source...a best friend of Papa Haslam's wife. Here's what I heard:

"Haslam, Peyton and Bobbie Goodfriend have chipped a million each (a year?) to get him here.. So the money is there but now apparently some of the trustees are not sure if he is a good fit.

Word is now the money is there and Gruden wants the job but the trustees aren't sure about him being a good fit so no offer has been made. Hopefully they will get enough pressure from the money people to make the offer...but who knows...everyone is trying not to get their hopes up too high."


TWIW, but if true...the entire fan base should be irate with the BOT.

People keep over estimating how much money Peyton has. He is rich but he isn't Haslam rich.

Hey guys just got back in.... i'm going to be leaving tomorrow morning. Nothing new to report. I guess it's hard for all of you to just understand whats happening.

There is nothing happening. But you can sense the media is picking up on things now after today's meeting.

Talk to you all soon.

That's just the know-it-all troll taking a dump on the Gruden thread by talking about how lucky we'd be to get the guy the "Grudenites" are strongly against.

It's one other option. Look beyond Gruden for once. If Gruden doesn't work out there are other coaches. What do we do then if Gruden says no, pull a Larry Smith for a year?

What Bill O'Brien did at PSU is a miracle. What Golden did at Temple was thanks to the weakest schedule anyone could play.

I don't ignore trolls.

I embarrass them.

I'm sure this will provoke some snide remark, but honestly, you mostly embarrass yourself. You don't want conversation, you just want people to agree with you. If they don't, you call them a troll. And if they are trolls, you're just giving them what they want, attention. Either way, you don't really win.

NO! so we need a back-up plan. Would be unwise to not have something mapped out if things are not really "done" as stated. But we move closer and closer to the day we shall find out...
P.S much respect BabyAvi do yo thang aint nuttin wrong with your opinion:rock:
