So if Gundy and Strong turn us down tomorrow, how in the heck do we delay until MNF is over? Doesn't make a bit of sense.

I know something you don't know...
One of my regulars comes into the bar last night with a guy I've never met before. They are both UT fans and we start the usual "who's gonna be the new coach?" conversation. We talked about Strong and Gundy for a little while and right before they leave the guy who I just met says that he is privy to some Gruden info. He proceeds to tell me that UT has a big booster who used to be in the railroad business (Norfolk Southern I think he said), but now the guy owns his own alarm company or security company (anybody have any idea who that would be?). Anyway, the guy tells me that he was in the room when his boss, who is friends with the unknown booster, is on a speaker phone call with said booster. This was Friday or Saturday, after the Gruden **** storm went down. The booster tells his boss that Gruden is still in fact coming. That the money for assistants isn't a problem because the boosters, himself included, have agreed to pay whatever is necessary. He then says that Gruden wants to finish out MNF and that after that he will in fact be our next coach.
Again, I don't know this guy at all. I really don't know why he would make this up, considering he brought up Gruden, not me. But there it is. Take it with a grain of salt.
Woul be a miserable couple of weeks, but AD just leaks to Hubbs and the boys that they are waiting for a coach in NFL or a bowl game coach and they have the guy but respecting his wish to coach out season with team. Then people pay $10 a month to hear Hubbs say he has no clue what is going on. (haha, I like Hubbs, just kidding)
And that means... in the end, if Gruden does sign, Hart is the hero. I hate to say it, but all of these little hints dropped by the OG's for weeks seem to be playing out. In my rational mind, Hart saving the day at this point really seems far fetched, but the narrative sure does have legs.

Only one of these coaches has worked out. NO CHARLIE STRONG
I hope he is right, my only question would be why would he engage in a conversation about Strong and Gundy instead of just saying that when the topic of the coaching search came up.
