Fair enough. But when you come on here predicting things like that and you whip everyone on here into a frenzy, you have to understand the backlash and why people will have a hard time trusting you going forward.

If it had come true, you'd be a VN legend, so it was a risk-reward move to predict something that bold. Nature of the game.

We all want the same thing here. Just have to be patient and let it play out. In the end, it won't be about tipping hats. It'll be a full-on celebration.

Seriously, I don't think people come in here to become "legends"..."Oooo look at me , I am an icon of message boards!"....I am not buying that.

Ive been around a long time and read 90% of the Gruden threads. I was also here in 2012. All of these so called insiders have all been wrong. I would love for Gruden to come but the information doesnt point that way.

There was a poster in the RF I believe who compared the last few TN hires.

Butch was (officially) hired on December 7, 2012. I can't remember when news begin to break but it was fairly close.
Lane Kiffin was (officially) hired on December 1, 2008, but news began to leak on November 28.
Dooley was an exception due to the circumstances so we'll ignore him (in more ways than one?).

For both Butch and Kiffin, the previous head coach was fired prior to the end of the season (though Fulmer stayed on until the end). This case seems to be most similar to Kiffin. I believe the Butch timeline was longer than hoped due to him being way down the priority list. The one variable we don't have historical data on is the early signing period. However, I still believe that an 11/28 hire (next Tues) would be in-line with previous hires.

Yes, you can argue "a new regime in charge," but I think the principles still stay roughly the same. I would speculate any leaks to start earliest on Friday 11/24 but more likely Monday 11/27 with the official announcement on 11/28. Many (potential) insiders have alluded to that day being significant. I think it logically makes sense. I wouldn't expect to hear anything this week.

Simply wasn't enough build up today IMO to be this week.

Voodoo Chile was my son's intro song when he was playing baseball in college. I played SRV Carnegie Hall version for a kid learning to play guitar and asked him how many guitars he heard in the song. He said 3. He couldn't believe one guy could make those sounds on one guitar.

Like for SRV and VC reference.

Guys, the best troll repellant is IGNORING them. Put them on ignore (like many of us already have) and stop quoting them. They are wanting to stir up this group and unfortunately it's WORKING!

Ignore them!
