Don't you know it is already Gruden!

With the money and resources we have, Hart and AD would have some explaining to do if we hired a coach in Group C.

I believe the Grumors. I want to believe anyways.

In the first group I put guys who already have high paying, high level jobs (or, in the cases of Petersen and Patterson, at least high profile positions they don't seem eager to leave).

In the second group, I tried to put guys who have had success and seem comfortable where they are, but where they are is still well below the UT HC job.

The third group is a mishmash of guys who I believe would jump to come here. Mid major guys, fired coaches looking for a second chance, a coordinator, and Golden (who probably wants to leave Miami and the feeling may be mutual).

I bugged Dave Hart's phone....it seems that our next coach is going to be either Will Muschamp or Chip Kelly.

If it goes beyond group A this years recruiting is certainly gone, probably last in SEC except KY. And I certainly do not see much hope for the future of the football program.

I still think it's Strong.
