Tuscaloosa would be Smart. Another thing is Hart is not running a public search.

it's gruden doesn't come here I'm not going to take it personally. the man is an NFL mastermind and is perfectly comfortable in that setting. college football would be a big gamble to his name and legacy. now if he ended up taking another college over us then I would take it personally

I like it when things are quiet. Keeps the negaVols away and it lets me speculate that something is brewing. :)

Havent been on these boards in a few years but got curious with the Gruden thing...Wow! Things have been busy!
(Below info and my ID can be verified by kiddiedoc and Freak)

1. The OG's as you call them have told you accurately. Their info lines up with what I had been told several times via a prominent booster with "unique" knowledge of this process along with corroborating secondary sources. I shared some of this information with the aforementioned Mods.

2. Gruden hire has been in the works for quite a while.

3. He agreed to become our next HC or around Oct 24 (when I received the text message).

4. This was reaffirmed to me as recently as Thanksgiving, i.e. "Gruden is done…"

5. Talks of "meetings" and what not falling through makes little sense under this context. A process that has already been agreed to in principle, and carried this far, would not be relying on an interview into December to “discuss the possibility” of this or that. He could have politely said no anywhere along the line weeks or even months ago.

6. Whatever else might remain, if anything, must be either a) legal stuff that simply takes a little work, b) he has a timeline that must be fit for reasons we are not necessarily privy to, or c) he backed out at the last minute. The rest it just noise. And unless he backed out in his sleep, and no one told anyone, the deal is still on.

7. The idea that Hyams and Hubbs got wind of a "special meeting" at the same time, of which they had no prior knowledge of, with a “non-candidate,” strikes me as being very suspicious. Almost as if someone wanted to quite things down? Just an opinion, I do not know that one way or another.

Hopefully that added a little something. There is much hope. Consider the merits as you will.
