I don think babyvol is on the Gru train, but I think on a different train. One you will not beleive at this time. I have a feeling. Thats all. But I think we are really going to like this in the end.

I think we are getting a series of half truths, and that there is a severe lag on that info. The thing that started all of this was the Memphis report last week. I had several people tell me that news was going to break that evening. It is yet another event that I can't figure out. How did so many people know the story was coming that night?

41, I'm still in.

Here's a list of the OG's avatars I made a long time ago, maybe in jg III or JG IV. Read 'em and weep, as they say.

It also stands for GruCon 5, which is where we are now.

I don't know if I'm in the 40. If not, make it 42.

I have stated before that I feel Fisher would be a very poor hire. What has he accomplished at FSU? He has certainly recruited elite talent there - FSU has the best talent in the ACC. Beyond that his coaching has been average at best - he should be dominating the ACC with that talent, yet it has not happened.

In addition, I am not convinced his recruiting will carry over to UT. I certainly could be wrong, but recruiting to LSU under Saban and at one of the big 3 FL schools might exaggerate his recruiting ability. Would he be better than Dooley? Absolutely, but not someone who will win big in the SEC. Honestly, if you cannot win by out-talenting teams in the ACC what do you expect him to do against the big boys in the SEC with equal to greater talent (assuming his elite recruiting does carry over)?

Thank you this is exactly what I was looking for. Great post!

Have a great rest of your day guys.

If he comes out tommorrow saying his sources say its still on the table then this thread will blow up again

Yeah... the thing is, I believe his "booster source", is Thunder, not certain but definitely the most likely if the booster is truly close to the situation. The coach that was recruited to be on his staff, have no clue. But if the booster source is who I think it is, he has every reason to believe it is the truth.

Lex is all Grude.

Here is what I cannot reconcile (other than the lack of public denial from Hart or Gruden himself):

Three different people have said that Hart met with local law enforcement in regards to security for whenever the hire is announced. That was confirmed by different people with friends in law enforcement on this board.

How many candidates that we are supposedly interviewing require "security".

Flame away.

The security is actually FOR Dave Hart to protect him from the fan base.

This will be my last post til probably this coming weekend
There has been a reason I've posted everything I have. I'll explain it all after the announcement.
Just trust what I told u guys early on about media being a smokescreen.....well they weren't only one being a smokescreen. It's a great time to be a Vol. If what I told you early on is wrong I'll leave the board and u will never have to hear from me again.

i dont think haslam is approving strong. if he was duped by hart, hart can start packin, when comes time for press conf if true haslam will hand him his one way ticket. im not buyin it. doesnt add up, if u have an oppurtunity to land the most wanted coach in basically this century, your not passing it up, especially if your friends with them as reported.

No the dumbest ones are the ones that believe the race of the coach will somehow dictate how well the school does.:eek:lol:

If you truly truly believe that a coach's skin color does not affect many recruits' decisions, then you are truly naive or in major denial. Let's be honest here.

There have been many changes in the last few decades, but this is not a world without discrimination, at least on some levels. Two schools, all else being equal, a recruit and/or family will often go with comfort level. I think this is where it still comes into play. Sorry to burst your bubble.
