I hope this is true and this frustrating Coaching search is over!

Biddle is throwing crap at the wall. That report says that Strong was not at the team meeting. Not true. He was late, but he was there. It also says that Hart is heading to Louisville to get Strong. Hart was already in Louisville today and is back in Knoxville now. If this was going to go down tonight, why wouldn't he have hung around for a couple of extra hours before flying home?

Sounds credible but several tweets are saying Strong met with his players after all and told them he hasn't decided yet.

My guess...either he has decided but won't announce yet or he is going to sleep on it and decide in the morning.  Probably the latter...

There are fact problems with the article. He says that Hart was gone to get Strong and right about the time they were publishing it, Fortenberry was reporting that Hart was back. That was at the time when Strong was in the meeting.
