Reality seems to have taken a bite out of some previously all in LOONs. Good to see reason beginning to return in time for the holidays. I trust Mathews and the 12/10 date he put out there. The Pied Pipers that piped Gruden five years ago, piped the same tune this time around with pretty much the same methods of operation (insiders, planes, false sightings, sworn deals "done," ) and for me this time it was disheartening to see some of the better posters on VN falling for the same old junk using their actual handles ... again. Much merriment will be had as Grudenites will be forced to visit the pit of misery and then sit in stocks for some time as we of the Knights of the Told You Sos get to fling as many rotten vegetables as we want as reinforcement to avoid the next set of pipers when they show up! Dilly! Dilly!

I'm sorry Remy. I think you may be lost. Please see the thread I think you were looking for. You may leave now. Thank you.

It is obvious from AV that we have offered Gruden and he is not going to accept in the end. Anyone that said this is done is mistaken. Precious time has been wasted on chasing him yet again. And it has hurt us because of perception and now other good coaches don't even want to come. It has also hurt because the fans will have such a big letdown no matter who is hired, even if it is a good coach.

THIS....if you want to hear it or not this seems like a good analysis to me and most realistic.

Hope we can get Gruden but honestly think there are just as good options with perhaps less drama surrounding them. Jon sounds like a bit of a needy egomaniac from the numbers and "please me at all cost" mentality that AV hinted at....I'd be great with an option 2, sooner the better imo

My takeaways from Atlanta's post:

1. Anytime you have a contract, or are working toward a contract, there are 2 sides, each with their own issues and timeline. It's much easier for us to speculate on Currie's timeline. From what I've heard, and what others have brought to this board, Currie wants to make the right move and wants it to happen sooner or later. But for Gruden (or ANY candidate) there are issues they have with respect to a timeline. We don't really know what those issues are with Gruden. The obvious hurdles would be MNF and ESPN, his endorsements, and his assistant coaching staff. But we simply don't know what those things are and how they effect the timeline.

2. For anyone to come on here and claim to have the answers or exact timeline is pretty foolish. It's fine to speculate and guess, but the more people who come in and drop lines like "Tune in around 4 tomorrow afternoon" or "Make sure your phone is charged on Monday" the more this forum gets whipped into a frenzy. Don't hang on any one person's every word. It's clear there's a very tight circle, and may not be very many people at all beyond Currie, who really know what's going on.

Be patient and enjoy the holidays. We will find out when we're supposed to. And I think we'll all be very happy when that day comes! :p
