I can't believe we would hire a guy named Chad as the coach at UT. Chad sounds like the friend of your teenage son. "Dad...me and Chad are going to the mall"..."I'm going over to Chad's to play video games". etc. No offense to anyone here named Chad.

I doubt there's anything going on that doesn't always occur when such negotiations lurch toward an agreement--we just never used to see it before. The acceptance of leaks just provides another leverage tool for the party in the strongest position.

It's life in the era of instant-continuous news, now with the addition of civilian eyeballs and gossipmongers posting from airports and monitoring city live cams from a thousand miles away.

Back in the day there would be people representing the parties in two rooms in a secure hotel in a neutral city, hashing out details over phones and fax. If everything wasn't in place for a stately coronation in time for the evening news, they'd wait for the morning news cycle. Always a polished presentation with little drama.

Now there's only bragging rights for whoever had the story first (and maybe 70% accurate).

As I said in another thread, everything you see this week is a smokescreen until a certain name is mentioned in the media. When that name comes out, I will confirm that he is the next coach.

Coach Doug Matthews on radio in Nashville. Says he trusts Hyams has good source. Also says Brohm's Dir of Football Ops used to be at UT.

Hah. The media onslaught will continue. "Jeff Brohm says NO to Tennessee". Geez. I'm starting not to care who we hire anymore. "Jeff Brohm turns down big money to stay at Purdue". Wow. This is beyond embarrassing if true.

I feel like William Shatner in that Twilight Zone episode. "There's something on the wing" and this planes going down!

Wow, so your anonymity makes you look like a well-connected insider if you're right and completely protects you if you're wrong. Genius.

and people wonder why we protested.

we have a completely inept administration. a local media that's full of morons....and all of it is controlled by one guy that is a damn idiot in all things football.

why on Earth do we continue to do this to ourselves at this point???

we're the dumb ones for continuing to pledge our allegiance to this cluster f***.

I actually just read an article about JB Cooter wouldn't interview for UT job and one reply in the comments stated: UT keeps getting in it's own way". There's an inner fight going on folks and until it's settled we really shouldn't attempt to drag a coach into this mess. It isn't fair to the coach.

You forgot to add the part where they blame it on the fans.

Brohm wasn't hired in a day.

LOL. However that is probably true. Not sure of timing but wonder if he hadn't heard until this morning from UT, due to timing of Gundy refusal. Between talking with his wife, informing Purdue's AD and giving him time to make a counter-offer, carrying out his recruiting duties since he is on a trip, etc...., I'd be surprised if we heard anything today.

In fact, the only response with hours of an offer that we'd be likely to hear is a "no."
