Not an insider so TIFWIW...

Spoke to a friend today who is in a position to know details, and he is not optimistic. Said that $6mil+ for gruden and $4.5mil for staff is settled, no problem, so in this sense the deal is in fact done. The rub is that this week gruden has asked for "the same level of control that Saban has at bama" and that neither cheek nor hart are willing to go along. Says this is the "issue" that hubbs is referring to, and is not likely to be resolved.

I hope he is wrong.

If this is true, then Hart is a liar because he stated that he believes the HC should have full control.

but its been a done deal..u cant be correct

What is meant by total control? And why wouldnt a coach have it? I certainly dont want cheek making football decisions. Seems to me a coach should have total control of his sport.

Then we have the dumbest two jackasses in the business!

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

It is odd down here in crappabama. All the folks I know who are Barners tell me they are hearing Gruden to UT also, and they beleive it. The Bammers on the other hand, are to a person staunchly ridiculing the rumor. :unsure:

Oh no you Grudent :nono:

What kind of control does Saban have that we aren't ready to give to JG??

Because Hart knows that didn't work with Saban. Oh , wait. If Fart and Cheek mess this up , they won't have to worry who the coach is. They will be looking for jobs too.

 

[VOLout8]

Friend just faxed this over to me. It came from Hart's desk. TIFWIW

 

[Obsessed]

I'm sure Fulmer had total control of the football program. Saban. Miles. Stoops. All have control. I don't see this being a issue.

 

[CSpindizzy]

Gru's next!!!

 

[ASamWitch]

Your apprehension is understandable and I have no stake in you believing this or that so not sure what to offer you. I have never made a prediction here as far as staff. I did say in week 4 that we would finish 6-6 at best and probably worse.I have only been super close to the program for 4-5 years and rarely posted before this. It's huge, and amazingly cool to see it unfold. If I were to name names I would not have many friends or my job.

It won't be long now, its trickling down. No one I know close to things thinks there is any possibility this doesn't happen. That's where my assurance comes from but not here to make you believe but rather to share in the excitement I feel that grows with every person I talk to that are involved or close. Like I said if I am wrong, people I trust very much in my personal and business life will either have misled me or been misled and some are the people you do not mislead....ever.

This!

Yea the one Gamo combines it with is specifically for break barrel spring loaded rifles like this one. It just will not hold. I am open to suggestion, its almost squirrel time once all the nuts are gone. That's when I bait them in and shoot them from my kitchen window.

There is some good info on the pyramid air www site about scope selection and mounting. Also some good air gun forums, like the "yellow pages."

 

[peerless98]

What kind of control does Saban have that we aren't ready to give to JG??

Is he asking for the rights of coitus with the wives of the BOT?

It's wierd that Hart, who was part of the AD that gave Saban that control, and made a killing in the process, would be resistant to the same notion here.

Sounds legit to me.

 

[CMcEver]

Haha... even my doctor is all in on the Gruden stuff now. He graduated from Emory and something along the line of, he knows so and so who knows so and so who knows Jim Gruden, Jon's brother who had/has a position at Emory and claims to have word on this. I just thought it was funny when he said something about it when I had my UT hat on, not that I took it seriously.
