I think we should stay away from, "I bet money we will have a Coach by next Wednesday.".
Let's lick our wounds and recover before individuals jump back into a % prediction.
Damn it has been a tough couple days.
I think he hired Kiffin over Kelly and Dooley over Sumlin if my memory serves me correctly.
Its certainly spin from one side or the other. I choose to believe the media and AD members over annonnomous message board posters that have been unwilling to look at any possibility of things changing over a matter of months.
Dude Hart didn't screw up what was not there to screw up.In this search rumors took on a life of their own and became believable as fact. I chose to ignore info pointing to the truth for months while I chose to live in this fantasy. Its my fault, not blaming anyone.This much I am certain of at this point, but I was certain Gruden was a lot closer than he was so much for my certainty.
Well, Sumlin was a nobody until the last two years. You would not have liked that hire any more than Dooley at the time.
Personally I would have hired Kiffin over Kelly simply because of the staff he brought with him.
Again, that's without hindsight being a factor.
To be fair, the fact that he is at the Chattanooga times could probably be used to diminish that argument.
Guys like Chris Low on ESPN have tons of inside contacts and he always said two things, 1) UT and Gruden was a longshot, 2) Gruden was famous for doing exactly what happened, walking away at the alter.

LOL true, but as a disclaimer everything I post going forward is my opinion and not based on anything but "what I think". Please take it as such.
I think that it is probably worse than that. I think that so much information is created by fans from boards like this, where speculation is repeated until it is gospel. People then call into radio talk shows, fueling the fire. This is all picked up by other media types, who call their sources. Their sources have heard everything that we, the fans, started and it seems to corroborate the information they are being asked to confirm.
It is an endless loop that ends with Lovie, Shannon, and Gruden type situations where we feel that we have been mislead by a huge master plan where an evil puppeteer has pulled the wrong strings. That argument is such an elaborate farse that it can't even support its own weight.
FYI: My sources are not message board posters. My source is from the booster side.
And your beloved AD was set to try to convince everyone to give the Doolster another year until he lost to Vandy!
And the Knoxville "media" is simply a mouth piece for the AD!
I bet LSU regrets when they hired that Saban clown from Mich St.
I also can't believe Stanford only promoted their OC as coach. Those dips should have gotten a big name.
What about the balls of Notre Dame to go and kill their program by hiring Cinci's coach?!
A & M will never ever recover from not getting an NFL playoff coach. How could they settle for a guy from Houston.
Don't even get me started on how bad Florida, and Georgia are doing for not getting a huge name.
So, if I am reading the Cliff Notes correctly and remembering correctly. Hubbs said that Hart would not interview a coach before their season is done. Yet, Hubbs and some of the other "reporters" have indicated that we may have interviewed Strong yesterday. I think Hubbs said Hart was in Oklahoma a day or two ago, etc. Gundy and Stoops?? Maybe I am "misremembering" what Hubbs, etc. said, but if not, I smell a load of BullS#$t.
Don't give up, yet. None of this information makes sense and this is by design, I believe.
Why are they doing this? No clue, but whoever is controlling this info sure is good at it.
No punch towards you Carter. None at all. Man, we have all took a lick. I am afraid to trust my own thoughts and opinions.
Your a good one Carter! What do we trust now? PC with coach in seat is probably the only reliable source.
Thx Carter!
Zero chance they want it to be public they were willing to go to 10mil for the entire package. They still have a coach to hire you know.
REALLY?????
