I want to believe, but I have a few questions regarding the timing.

Gruden knows that will need to recruit to win. Why wouldn't he want to announce as soon as possible after the Dooley firing?

There's nothing to stop him from recruiting and finishing out his MNF contract. Urban Meyer did something similar.

Waiting for weeks after Dooley has been canned just doesn't make sense.

Can someone tell me what I'm missing?

Don't know, other than to say that those running the show have their reasons for the timeline.

We can speculate, but nobody really knows the details of the ESPN contract, the Corona endorsement, or the Hooters sponsorship. This is not like any hire we've made before.....many more moving parts.

Also, Grudens personal relationship with Dooley cannot be stressed enough. They have developed a friendship and family ties by all accounts. The last thing he wants is to gain a reputation as having stabbed somebody in the back to get their job....especially a friend.

Seeing yay4bray reminded me of someone.... Anyone seen or heard from palardylikearockstar lately? Would he have any info on the jg front?

Pretty sure he works in the film department. Maybe he had friends that were involved in something, but I doubt his info would be any more or less reliable than everything else.
 
I'm being lazy can you hit us a link? I wanna read this crap

:lolabove:

Well here's a little excerpt from one of their "insiders" (FYI this is talking about Arkansas not UT):

I have really good information that I am confident in from sources that I believe. I have heard that Gruden is the next HC. I have heard that it is just a matter of Long calling a PC. The information that we have received is not just "hopeful".

So, I wonder...and thanks Boro, BTW...wonder if Grudes would keeps Dools around in some role because of the friendship? I know we have discussed the possibilities of UTC, yada yada...just making conversation mang!
 
This is from Grudenville.......Got to give it to him. He is hanging tough.

I cleaned out my 4-Runner and fueled up last night. I have a change of clothes with me and I was at my office an hour early today so I could make sure my responsibilities were done should I get the call. All examples of how much I believe it could be today and I will not change my mind unless I get a call from the same person that told me it could be yesterday or today. If it does change, I will accept full responsiblity and you can bash me, discredit me, whatever, but there is NO reason to back up and punt!!! The media is on this, word has leaked that the BOT has approved the 6 mil, and other media is on to the fact that Gruden is assembling a staff. If this is not proof enough for you along with the countless things the CSI team and myself have been right on, then be my guest, go on over to another site and find you a smoke screen to believe in!!
