From Swanson from Hubbs in the recruiting forum, Shoop is expected to fly home today and make a final decision with his family.

This didn't happen yesterday. You really think he going to talk it over with his family? It's done. One way or the other and if it was the other we woukd have heard. Hubbs is a puppet and your his audience. No offense of course.

That he includes his wife in decisions that affect the entire family?
I wouldn't be overly concerned with that.

No one is saying that's a horrible thing to do. They're just saying its concerning given the situation and his past with situations like these (i.e. Talk with an SEC team, fly out for an interview, go home to decide, then decide he wants to stay at PSU)

Franklin always hated the Vols and liked to jerk our chain. I hope this is not a set up where he sends Shoop down to get our hopes up and then jerks the rug out from under us by Shoop not take the job, sort of like the Tee Martin interview. I know this is somewhat of a conspiracy line of thinking (or even a negavol), but it is a possibility from our past history. We had a lot of coaches over the years come here and interview and we thought they were the coach, only to find out later they were not. I remember those well during the Fulmer firing, Kiffin, Dooley, and Jones hires.

None taken, just passing along info for everybody that doesn't visit the recruiting forum.

I could see this being a case of Hubbs trying to keep a lid on it as long as possible.

If he declined we would have already heard lots of noise about other options.

I agree. During each instance when we were being passed over by a coach there were multiple insiders saying "done deal". Not a negavol either but not a done deal until it's inked.

LOL. I could not keep up with the many times that happened. It was joke and nobody really had any real information, even though they said they did.

its closed.

there likely won't be a PC. There was not when DeBord hired. I expect an announcement at some point but who knows when. Probably when Butch is comfortable.

he likes playing to fans emotions. :)

Hey just wondering if you know that a contract had been signed or just agreed to in principle.?

FWIW UT is the third SEC team he has flirted with in the last couple years I believe and I saw an article saying there's an 800,000 buyout on his contract with PSU.

No way this is true I'm going to need a link because its rule if your the first to post it then you have to provide sources.

On the flip side, he has already shopped himself around before.
Hard to believe that if he wasn't ready to make a move, he would keep pushing his luck with PSU.
Talented or not, you can only return to that well so many times.

It may be my old, worn out eyes but I swear some of the tires on that plane look like they've been flattened so it can't take off.

Are we holding Shoops hostage until he agrees and signs the contract?

HAHAHAHAHA!

Besides, Larry has already said this is a done deal and he's normally correct and doesn't post BS so I trust what he tells us.

Anyone know what VQ is saying on the subject?

From one of the VQ mods:

"I don't know how it's a positive sign if he heads back today without signing anything. He wants to talk to his family about it so we will see what comes of it. I think there probably isn't as much confidence about this happening as there was yesterday. But, I don't think it's dead or anything like that."
