. . . that the announcement is coming midday tomorrow. Cites "our best source."
Who knows whether that's right or just a crazy rumor, but that seems to be as good a source of information as any these days.

Well, he still takes flack for "breaking" the Shannon-to-UT stuff last year. But in this new era where the guys who used to be solid as a rock aren't anymore (Hyams, etc.) and some of the non-journalist sources seem to know as much or more than the guys getting paid for what they do, he seems to be as solid as anyone. JMO. |

The funny thing is if we'd gotten Shannon Dooley's job would be safe. Ditto for Ellis Johnson.

The Shannon thing seems to be ammo for a lot of posters out there. |

If there's an announcement it will not announce a hiring. The firing will be it. That's IF there's an announcement.

I think that's a given, and FL98 tweeted the same thing. |

But if they're going to announce the firing, you have to think that they're at least very far along in identifying his replacement. Otherwise, no AD would be stupid enough to announce it now. Well, maybe one (former) AD would.  |

I agree completely BDV and Vinnie. You don't can someone now if you don't have another deal set.

And kinda remind us to take Gruden with a grain, make it a block, of salt, because multiple sites reported Shannon as a sure thing done deal The Shannon thing seems to be ammo for a lot of posters out there.

This morning he's backtracking, saying it isn't going to happen and blaming it on Cheek, with the implication that Cheek isn't willing to pony up the dough to make it happen.
That just sounds illogical to me. There's no way Hart would have been prepared to go forward with a public announcement in 12-13 hours if he hadn't already discussed it with Cheek. Scratch what I said about FL98 being as solid as anyone, I guess.

Good timing.  I don't see how Cheek can be blamed, either. |

Exactly, Cheek has been involved from the beginning. You don't go to your President 12 hours before the press conference. |

So far my hunch on Hart's strategy, such as it is, is correct. Should be interesting to see the rest of the season play out.

I want to publicly apologize for suggesting that this guy was "solid." I listened to his, um, "podcast" tonight and there is no way that anyone in the UTAD is feeding this guy information. Absolutely no way. He's just throwing crap against the wall and hoping something sticks. |
