No big deal. Just be discriminating. Not going to mention specific names, but some folks are all about the ecred. It is their main goal.

Just don't want you to be fooled by anyone. I like you too much. I guess I'm saying to just make sure you understand motives. Love ya gal.

goodness man, you are concerned your loose lips could squash the current Gruden deal? Really?

Are you serious with this stuff. I mean. A lot of posts on here are just for fun, but I think you are serious with this conspiracy theory type soap opera plot you have in your head.

It's not my lips "person I do not know that likes to troll me" I mean, it's the people around it. It basically went from a pipe dream to a probability very quickly.

You said in another thread you do not try to be an ******* so it must just be an innate trait. Conspiracy theory and soap opera? Why are you pissed? More importantly why are you here? Seems trollish to me, you been around a lot longer than me but dam. Wtf?

Was listening to the Erik Ainge show podcast from yesterday, and i quote: "I don't know the head coach, and i don't know the AD, but i still know the people who make the decisions around there, and you know who those people are, NOT DAVE HART".

He all but said the name Gruden. Somebody asked about Petrino and he said something like "I'm thinking of a bigger name. Someone who is available. Somebody that would leave standing room only at the O&W game."

I feel no differently tonight than last night, there are always going to be different things said whether it be insiders, outsiders, boosters or coaches......whatever.

Right now what is needed is support for the Gruden change and less loose lips IMO. I'm guilty, I know. I heard about it already. Just chill and cross your fingers nothing goes wrong.

With all the sources, both public and private, that have corroborated mutual interest from Gruden and UT and funds readily available for "donation" from a growing group I tend to believe it. Nothing is "done" but Dooley barring a miracle these next two weeks but it is going to get done barring something blowing it up imo. Loose lips can do that.

Not going to say much more about it, waiting on the announcement one way or the other.

Gruden 2012!! Stay positive, it's up to the decision makers now. Everything that can be done is being done. Opinions of whether it will happen or not doesn't change anything at this point.

Larry has good info on a lot of things. I personally believe he has wrong information in regards to Gruden. Understand that college football has a lot more dynamic moving parts than a pro job. Lots of things can derail. However, I still believe that things are on track.
If I'm wrong, so be it. If I hear differently, I'll say it.
Fan base will not be excited about a Kirby Smart hire. Hart needs a hire that will drive fans back immediately.

Yep, and that the people who make the decisions are pro-big name/splash hire, this is starting to really add up here, and basically the people who say "well we can't afford this because..." don't know how the system works, so disregard their opinion. The budgets and stuff you see on the web (surpluses/deficits) is not what really drives these decisions.

Yeah , he still knows more than 95% of the people here. I just don't think he knows the exact price we will pay or who exactly we will be hiring. That being said , he lost some sources in 2008 and he isn't as much of an "insider" as he use to be. I'm sure he would admit as much , if he hasn't already said so. It's not a put down. Just the way it is. The way Dooley and company run things , I highly doubt he knows nearly as much as he did in 2008.

Larry forgot more about some of the inner workings of the AD than I will ever know. However, my source come from both inside and outside and they match up quite well.

if you expect to not get responses when you post a bunch of garbage on a message board, you've got the wrong message board.
Has nothing to do with being an innate *******, troll, pissed, or whatever else you want to call me. And I didn't even go the direction of your supposed cousin that is a starter. Bray or Bartholemew. And I know Bartholemews family from where I live, and you aren't one of them. So, what you have basically said, is that you are Tyler Bray's cousin. Stop acting like a baby when you get called out. It's best just to lay low, then change names and come back with some new stories.

I'm saying Gruden or bust at this point. We need a home run hire or don't even bother, like DTO said, we need to drive fans (revenue) back immediately.
