Then he's announcing it publicly before UT. Still doesn't jive, regardless of what he says. Unless, it were an unequivocal statement that he is stepping down with no mention of UT or his intentions moving forward (but with all the smoke, any dolt would know he's going to UT).
It doesn't wash with me. It either happens after MNF, before MNF (if contractual agreements have been settled by all parties, and nothing convinces me this couldn't be done, if done correctly), or it doesn't happen at all. I cannot reconcile that it will happen in any form or fashion on MNF, or any other public venue that is not UT's. TIFWIW.
