From TOS:
Thanks for the kind words Rooster
I didn't post it for any recognition
I wish people here on Volquest would
Learn from this and know there are people
On here that do get info from time to time
Yet they treat everyone like crap when
They post what they hear from reputable
People
Now to answer your question, UT people
are not over joyed to say the least
This is what Hart has been afraid of
Hart doesn't wear orange tinted glasses
He does have UT's best interest and of course
His best interest at "heart" no pun intended
I would expect anything more to develop with
UT and Gruden at this point. There was an
Agreement in place. Gruden came back with
Additional requests that UT wanted to discuss
In person. For whatever reason, Gruden
Decided to cancel
Look for
1. Fisher
2. Golden
3. Strong
4. Fedora
I will be lurking and reading unless I
Hear anything more concrete
G_K
I agree Griden was our best option for getting
UT back on level with Bama the quickest
I wod have preferred Stoops over Gruden
(Just my preference) but that was never gonna
Happen unfortunately
Fisher will be the first coach (after Gruden)
To be offered if for some reason that doesn't
Work out. I am afraid it will be Golden
I would prefer Strong then Fedora and then
Golden from those three. Just my preference
One last thing, UT went above and
Beyond my expectations to make this work
I can't fault Hart nor the boosters
Cheek needs to follow though with his
Promise to work closer with and support
The UTAD
I never said Cheek was the problem
I said Cheek needed to follow through
Maybe I should have said continue to
Follow through with promises and compromises
He has indicated he would
Yes there was an agreement in principle
For Gruden to be the HC
Gruden came back wanting additional money
For staff. UT agreed
Gruden came back wanting sole power on all
Things relating to UT football. UT had questions
And some concerns which they should have
Gruden decided to cancel the meeting
UT - Hart have not been the problem
I don't even believe you could blame Cheek
UT can only give so much, where would it stop
Hence UT ppl are not excited right now
I would be shocked if it ends up being Mora
What kind of staff would he have?
Ppl criticizes CDD for being difficult
They would do the same wit Mora
I just have a feeling that this is kind of a personal thing for Gruden and that's why it seems strange that he'd let if go so quickly.
I mean, really, it seems far-fetched that he would be considering coming to a downtrodden college job anyway. If it weren't for his wife and family I don't think we'd ever been in conisideration.
I've heard Gruden mention in interviews when asked if he'd be interested in coaching again say that perhaps next year (meaning this year) when his son graduates.
I don't know if anyone has paid attention but there's a poster on here named UNDERDOG who lives close to Gruden's inlaws and he posted more than a month ago that there was some buzz around that they would be coming home time soon.
Everything seemed to be lining up from a personal standpoint. It looked like they were going to be home for the holidays.
I noticed he mentioned his wife and kids when interviewed this morning on Mike and Mike.
i just think this is more than just any another in a long line of job opportunities for Gruden. I think the family angle is the only chance he ends up our coach.
WTF is this?
