What is everyone doing after today? It’s make it or break it day, most insiders say today is the announcement.

I'm probably late AF to the party but I saw on facebook several people sharing tweets by former players acting as if they know some fantastic news none of us do. Gruden?

I'm hardly the first to say this but I've been asked about it a ton. Jon Gruden will not be the HC at UT. Definitive no and we are moving on. There were always hurdles to hire him. We tried to go over, under and around those hurdles but it is not going to happen in the end. This is NOT a failure by UT administration. It just comes down to a guy that does not want to coach college football. There is no reason to be angry, downtrodden or depressed about this. There are very good football coaches who are interested in coming here. We need to celebrate that truth and get ready for the next opportunity to be a great football program again. I would also caution listening to anyone who claims AD sources in all of this. Any talk is coming from boosters and other coaches. Currie isn't leaking anything. That means that info is going to be hard to come by, even for the very best of journalists

What I will be ticked off about is that if they knew Gruden was a no go then why did they not make a run at Chip. If Florida gets Chip and we get Mullen then thats a slap in the face.

It was in Jon's court all along. The Boosters and the UTAD tried all they could. If your gonna get mad, be mad at Jon. The thing about Jon is he has a huge ego, and it has not been fair for him to play us like this, but just like in 2012 he has once again. Jon simply dont want to put in the work it takes to coach a college football team. I dont think he will coach NFL either, but thats just my thoughts.


Im sure that Currie is working his arse off to get a top coach in here.


This being said, there is always a small chance.

Guys we literally saw flames on Wednesday night. People were booming and already celebrating. There was no more smoke it had turned to fire. Let's take a step back and get a timeline together. My memory may be a little fuzzy but to the best of my knowledge this is what happened...

Tuesday night

AtlantaVol broke his couple weeks of silence. His last thing he said to the best of my memory was about the BOT meeting. Went completely silent after that, came back gave out tickets, then said that tomorrow (Wednesday) was a pivotal moment in the hunt of red October. Someone else said something along the lines of... "Everyone temper their expectations we may never know what will have happened tomorrow (which was Wednesday they were referring too) AtlantaVol agreed with this person, and then to the best of my knowledge (I haven't read every single post of all of these threads that would be nearly impossible) that was the last thing he said.

Wednesday

Around lunch time OrangePill came here and said that he had lunch with a BOT member. He mentioned that there would be a meeting in Tampa (again to the best of my knowledge this is the first time we heard about this meeting.) This expanded on what AtlantaVol said and made a little more sense of what he said the previous night. Also around this time I believe Beaver changed his pic to a thread and needle.

Fast forward to Wednesday evening.

Hargis went on PF's show and rocked bottom him and had PF shooked. Jauan Jennings announces that he's coming back for 2018 (could be completely unrelated?) ... a couple of former players start tweeting. Maggitt says it's Gruden "season".

Beaver changes his profile pic (On Twitter) to a tux. Bubba comes on here and says see ya guys in 10 years for the next coaching search. OrangePill tells us he heard it's a done deal. Tuesday started celebrating (I'm not sure if he heard something from Tee or what?) ...after all of that this board went absolutely nuts for a few hours until BCarter came in and threw water on the fire and said that be cautious to some insiders.

Are we now saying that Bubba, Tuesday, OrangePill, etc. we're wrong on Wednesday night?

If nothing coming out of the AD, then how does he have the detailed information of what went wrong and wasn't a failure by the administration??

It looks to me as if JAV is implying that his info and ONLY HIS info is coming from the AD, but everyone else is getting their info from boosters and other coaches.

That, of course, would make his statement about distrusting any information claiming to come from the AD contradictory.
