I tend to agree. If it was a run of the mill hire, we would likely already have the presser done and forgotten about.

One thing is for sure, we arent waiting to make an announcement that wont even blip the radar with all that media activity...this announcement is intended to blow the other media targets off the screen.

I think if the timing of the announcement has anything at all to do with media coverage, that's a fair point to consider.

If we were announcing a fairly big time hire, we would want to announce far away from any sort of event like the SECCG, because we would want to get coverage, not compete with the big game.

If we were announcing a jaw dropping hire (Gruden), we would want to announce right before the SECCG to take media coverage away from the rest of the SEC.

Of course, the timing could have nothing to do with that, or the rumor could be altogether false.

I would be very surprised if it were true that everything is in place and they are waiting several days to announce it in the interest of timing the splash. That just doesn't happen. Every day that it is delayed is one more day for it to leak. If it leaks, then the admin loses control of the release and the flow of information. That is far from ideal for them. They'd much rather hold a PC with everyone there than get bombed with individual calls and interview requests.

While it may be true that a tentative agreement is in place, and they very well may have their man, I think it is more likely that they aren't releasing anything because they don't have all the I's dotted and the T's crossed.

Or, Gruden wants the delay for personal reasons.

This is going down. It all makes too much sense, there's too much smoke, too many hidden confirmations in addition to the 'insider' chatter.

Much of the insider chatter is Hart diluting the information by deliberately giving false information down the COC.

This upcoming few days/weeks could very well determine whether we become relevant again or fall further into mediocrity. Should be fun.

Agreed. Also, Gruden on MNF every week isn't bad publicity.
