ok, that may change things, a little....would have to be awfully short list, and it's still risky at that. but if you're talking a couple guys...sure, it's possible.

Umm Cade Mays and Trevor Lawrence would leak it just like any other 18 year old with a FB or Twitter account. They are not immune to social media. As I recall someone was claiming a few weeks ago that Cade Mays dad was “informed” CBJ was going to be retained so he has been quite the treasure trove of information

This whole coaching search and the "business" and all thats associated with it, seems to me, is a perfect fit for the Pink Floyd song "Dogs". Long song....but go listen to lyrics and see what you think.

Yep. They were the honey badger of college football at that time...and I agree wth you about why it came to that. 100% it was a stroke of genius.

You can almost directly correlate the uptick in their recruiting, and success to the Thursday night exposure.

Add to that Boise being an extremely nice place. I think it would be a hoot to play there.

I remember one time several years ago, when Colorado State went to #17 Virginia and beat them convincingly on Thursday night. I ran down to the bar thinking Fort Collins was going to go ape chit. No one even knew. It wasn’t being talked about at all in national tv. It was dead. I recall saying to myself at that time.....”Lubick found a seam, but never hit it full stride. He’s no doing this right.”


Petersen did and took it to the house.

i don't know anything. just my best guess based on the information available to me.

and i've posted in this thread earlier, if he is signed, and it is going to happen, then the reason it most likely hasn't been announced is because of Gruden's distaste for interrupting a current coach's job. he's said on multiple occasions that it's not fair for him to comment on guys that still have a job, or speculate on candidates when there's a guy still employed. i'd imagine that being the case, he wouldn't want anything announced until after the season.

This is exactly why I stopped trying to read the tea leaves a week ago. They won't make an announcement before the end of the season for sure. Earliest I would expect any kind of coaching announcement would be Sunday.

You are correct.

That's funny...I thought Ft. Collins looked for any reason to party.

I would have been at the Town Pump for sure.

If you get to that point on the list, you have to examine YOUR process to see exactly where YOU are ****ing up. Because at that point, it's like the girlfriend when she breaks up with you saying "it's not you, it's me."

You know it actually IS you rather than her, despite what she said. And if it gets to that point, you go cheap on a Norvell hire at around $3.5 mil because you aren't paying good money to hire the head coach from the "Vandy of the SEC West."

Another analogy would be at closing time in a bar, and after all the hot girls have turned you down, you are faced with the choice of the bearded lady you know ain't going to get any prettier and the slightly nerdy chick that could be hot if she pulled off her glasses and let her hair down.

Let em go. He has earned the right to make that decision, and it's a lifetime decision for sure.

In a totally unrelated story: Seeing Bob Johnson 67 (AA center) honored as the Vol Great for the game last Saturday reminded me of the story of when he was being recruited. I believe he is from Sparta and he told his Dad he was thinking of going to Ga Tech. His Dad asked him where he was thinking about living when he got out of college. Bob said, he thought he would come back home. To which his Dad responded, "reckon how many of those Ga Tech folks live around here?"

Bob Johnson is from Cleveland. 100%

You've gotta wonder: What promoted McDonough to say this? Seems like a convenient soundbite strategically placed to throw us off. It's all about buying time until the announcement at this point.

Spitballing click bait.

There is definitely something to that. It's also the reason they had hoped to keep Butch until the end. That plan turned to doo-doo for a couple of reasons, and they had to back up and punt. So now, we wait.

i agree, that thought did cross my mind, skeptical as i am. i think they wanted to avoid what's been happening the last 8 days, if they could, as well.
