Yes, Springbok started one of the Gruden threads assuring everyone it was a done deal. I know there was some fire with the Gruden talk; it was not just smoke. However, I wish the insiders would have just kept it to themselves until it was absolutely certain he would be our next coach (i.e., signing the contract).

For me, it crosses the line when you start talking in absolutes... "done deal, signed, sit back and wait, next head coach." This crap gets your neck laid nicely on the chopping block and deservedly at that.

It's not hard to temper the expectations by letting things play out a little bit. Some people never learn though.

I just see a guy that was flashed retarded by a camera.

He's notorious for starting rumors, wrong predictions, being wrong in general. He's basically a laughing stock among knowledgeable people. How the hell is he a mod? Does he have something on Freak?

Hubb's does not think that Hart will interview anybody in New York at this point

Therefore, it's either Strong or Gundy. Both have had face-to-face interviews, and if a hire is going to be made as soon as Wednesday (reported by Hubbs), then it will be limited to those two candidates. Logical, IMO.

Freak is going to have to Hiroshima the rumors forum. They are melting down like I have never seen.

And with Gundy being out according to LWS, we have our next HC.

What have we learned in this entire process?

Nobody knows what Dave Hart is thinking or what he will do.

A guy that knows JRM personally on 247 says that Jalen is really hoping UT hires Strong. Also said that Tennessee will have a big time recruiting class by signing day if this happens.

Wow... I've spent a lot of time in the coaching rumors forum the last two months. I understand wanting Gruden, heck I would have loved to have him and thought for a long time that we had a real shot. But those people over there now are acting like Charlie Strong is some joke Dooley2.0. The guy worked his way up at victims schools, turned Louisville around quickly, and will kill on the recruiting trail here if given the chance. Those people over there acting like he is a 2nd tear coach are ignorant or stupid or both.

A gem from the coaching forum...

Dooley has out recruited Strong the past 3 years at their perspective schools. Just because Strong has a chance he may be hired here is not going to change his recruiting. At Louisville if Strong is as good as some like to think, he should have the best recruiting classes in his conference, and he don't.

The SEC is big boy league, he can barely speak in public, the SEC big boys will eat him alive on the recruiting trail IMO.

Sorry B, just how I feel.....Strong is a better coach than Dooley but thats not saying a lot.

In this anology, the Civic gets you where you want to be, just takes slightly more time. The rolls royce gets you there quick, in style, but you have to worry about not having it year after year.
