I'm hoping I'm allowed to quote myself here... again, none of this makes sense when you look at it from the 30,000 ft view. Read the facts and put together your own puzzle.



Also: of course I didn't mention the OGs since we all know about that, but I won't count it as fact simply because I don't know them. (I am 100% in with them though.)

OGs come on at ~2:30pm with BOOM! and awesome news. Let's think a minute... ink is dry? Deal confirmed and done?

At 2:51pm Sports Animal puts on Twitter they have breaking news that breaks at 3:05pm. New is ONLY that there was a meeting scheduled, and canceled. Literally non-news. Not worth reporting unless we are still engaged, otherwise you would report that he is officially out.

Doesn't say anything about why which is of course the most important part. Rescheduled? Deal already complete and no need to meet? Met last night so of course today is canceled?

If the meeting is rescheduled for a few hours or days later this is suddenly a non-event. If it is canceled because everything is already finalized (last night?) then it is a non-event. It's so vague and ambiguous that it means nothing. But it is good for driving listeners and page views.

Again, why is the first leak negative? If Gruden were out why wouldn't you put out a press release or statement? Wait, didn't Ainge read something from Jimmy Stanton this morning on air (I didn't hear so I didn't put this as a fact) that they wouldn't address any rumors?

And shouldn't we be suspicious that Hyams and Hubbs -- again, both with significant ties to AD -- think we have 0% chance, essentially don't report anything, and then suddenly have some juicy news to report back to back? But never reported the meeting was happening in the first place and were claiming there was no chance that we would even be at the table?

One more thing... remember Hart's requirements of a HC. Which of the other candidates mentioned (Golden, Strong, et al) meets all of the requirements?

Take a step back and use some logic. It doesn't add up if you take the radio story and run with it. I highly doubt we get the $18 million back from academic donation without knowing why we were going to use it.

I'm out for a little bit. Soon.

I'm 100% positive nobody read this past the 3rd sentence.

OGs after Clay's tweet...are we still good?

Clay's on vacation. I'm listening on line, he has not been on air today. Must have tweeted it on his own after reading reports (Hyams, etc). His Grandfather did play for the General. He's a sharp guy, graduated Vandy Law, wouldn't have left room if he had sourced it. Note: the word "appears". He would have broke the story. Playing to his base so we'd hang on his every word.

It "appears" Jon Gruden has turned down Tennessee's offer. Can't fault Vols for making run. (Note: Vols will never admit they made offer).

Face it, the 90's type of success will never happen here again. Prepare for a coach who won't excite you and hope for 9-3 seasons to maybe happen despite our failure to be thrilled by the hire.

Gruden-on 'til the official announcement.

No one here is required to agree with me.

I am not required to post my reasoning to your liking.

This is a GRUDEN thread. Take your Golden, Fedora, etc elsewhere. You are clogging the flow.

We are missing a point. If Gruden was not interested. He could have ended all speculation by mentioning today's meeting cancellation saying he was happy where h was.
He was on air deflecting the question knowing that, at least at the time, he was scheduled to meet with Hart.

Problem is, the meeting cancellation in and of itself is mere rumor. :eek:k:

You do what? All i want is for you to change my mind....other than saying "soon" or any other silly thing like that.

I'm sorry if you can't look at what has been presented from several posters. Look at what has happened and what is happening. If you choose not to believe, so be it. I will not try a make you believe anything, you have a free will. I have only presented what I have been told since the Florida game.


You do what? Know who some of Boros sources are.
