It hurts bad if the guy isn't always making the best decisions and you have 50 million sunk into him. All of which is essentially borrowed.

Best comparison I can give is if he turns out to be our Charlie Weiss.

That at every turn the man wanted more and really doesn't care about being here just playing the negotiating game. I knew Gruden had an ego. I'm beginning to think it's bigger than we'd ever be able to handle or want.

Thanks and if true then that is a major turn off.

So, were Nick Saban, Les Miles, Mark Richt and Urban Meyer not qualified to coach in the SEC?

None of these guys coached or played in the SEC before becoming head coach of an SEC school (Saban at LSU).

Just sayin'.

Never mind what I first said, I thought Richt was at UF not FSU. Regardless, it would have been an excellent point even w/o Richt.

I should have trusted what CH told me

Agreed and I should have listened to my AD friends too, but they weren't telling me what I wanted to hear lol.

I never was 100% believing gruden was coming, but it's heartbreaking seeing all the 'boom's', and 'done's' are gone. I guess reality has hit, UT probably wasted all their time chasing him, and the big name's are gone. We'll be stuck with an al golden.

There was some really good insight posted on the board last night about what went down with Hart and Gruden. Posters were Liper, H Lector and one other, don't remember his name.

But imagine how that ego could have translated on the field! Would have been something serious! Oh well

Imagine how it would have translated if he lost some games he wasn't planning. It's worth remembering the bucs fired him. Not saying there aren't reasons (owners suck) but it wasn't all roses with Gruden either.

In Mannheim? I love that city,I love everything about that country to be honest. They took me in with open arms. There was a time when I never wanted to come back. I wanna go back sometime and see all my friends. Hopefully soon!

I think we need to give the next coach every chance to succeed. I think a lot of coaches can succeed here. Gruden would have been awesome but there are very good coaches being interviewed. Louisville is a basketball school, like Kentucky, and Strong is headed to a BCS bowl. Think about our budget and recruiting draw, and transpose. He would do very well imo.
