None of you all know who is on that list, this thread is nothing more than speculation and wishful thinking. I have seen way to many people claim to have sources and nothing ever came from it.

LWS is the best source for info
Skeeter is the best source on players and recruits

Hart is smart enough to not let his potential coaching list to be seen by anyone.

People around campus hear and see things....whether you like it or not. It's not always ironclad, but when 4-5 different independent sources say the same thing then a pattern develops.

Nobody has ever suggested to know who.is on his list.

We WILL beat Miss State, Idc that they are ranked and at home...Mississippi State has played absolutely NO ONE. The five teams they beat have offenses that on their good day are half of Tennessee explosive potential. We will beat Mississippi State 35-17 or 38-17 (throwing the 38 in because if we hit a field goal my points total will be wrong lol.) Sure Mississippi State doesn't seem to turn the ball over and they run well...but look at their schedule...they will end up 9-3 or 8-4 possibly 7-5. They have played Auburn (28-10 not impressive at home), @Troy (30-24), Jackson State, South Alabama, and @Kentucky (27-14). I can honestly say that if we can put 44 points on UGA AT UGA we can beat down Mississippi State. These guys arent that good. They still have to play @Alabama(rape), home against Texas A&M (I say thats a 10-15 point loss), @LSU (though LSU seems flat, they still have more talent and they are at home), Arkansas @ Home (should be a win), and @Ole Miss (who lost to Texas A&M at home 30-27 so it could be a good game).
Mississippi State has just had easy opponents. We'd be 5-0 averaging 45 points a game if we had their schedule. I saw big blowout Wednesday.

If you come home and all your Oreos are gone, and your son has a black mouth, you are "speculating" that he ate them, but connecting the dots is pretty d@mn easy.

I don't usually stay on these message boards this long. I do go to the recruiting board if there's something new. But I must say, I have enjoyed this thread. Slice, Medic, and GMan, among others have offered a different viewpoint, without calling names or arguing. That's good and it keeps the rest of us on our toes so to speak. Also, the folks on here seem to be mature enough (most anyway) to have a discussion and several have offered good points.
As we approach #8000, and keep the hope of change alive, I look forward to hearing from Jay again when he gets home, DTO, Boro-vol, Smokey, YayforBray, and all the others I can't remember so early this morning. So post often and post well.

Had a great comeback concerning you and Gruden and occupied rooms but I don't think the Mods would approve.:eek:

LOL....I hate that we have to miss it. You'll probably be ok....I'm not terribly popular with at least one if the mods.

I'll be honest, outside of Gruden and 1 or 2 other splash hires, I think we stick with Dooley.....unless things get completely pour of hand.

There are only a couple names that I think would outweigh the destabilizing effect of a coaching change right now. If you can get them you pounce. If not, you might as well go into year 4 with Dooley.

A logical stance.

I think the logical stance is the approach of splash hire or no change. That's why I am not on board with a Charlie Strong type guy.

If the wheels fall off, something may have to be done.

Ha. I've always been one to ask "who ya got?" when people start clamoring for a firing. You don't think the coach will work out? OK, who are you going to hire?

The powers that be better be sure they have a grand slam if they pull the plug after year three (barring a complete collapse down the stretch). Botch the next hire, especially if it's a little early, and things could get even uglier than we've seen in recent years. I cringe at the thought.

Exactly where I am. If we can make the splash, make it.

That's quite a 180 from your position at the beginning of this thread.
