The date is moving up, apparently?

I will not complain if I'm late by a week on my prediction.  

Rumor has it Gruden and Cheek talked today.

*Edit - Just read another rumor that there was a "snag", according to Hyams, and that there is now a less than 5% chance we get Gruden.  Lol, I can't recall anything like this.

Yes I heard an earful...not of that, but a very specific prediction about Saturday.  It's not any better or any worse than any other, but should be interesting to see if there is anything to it.

is when we will know.  Hart is going to research and phone interview a group of potential candidates and pick out a final field of three by late next week.  Three candidates will then interview with Hart and a representative of the big money donors the first week in December.  Hart and power brokers meet that weekend with Hart giving his choice and getting approval or disapproval of big $$$.  Whoever the big $$$ decide they want and can afford will be Hart's choice.  Once the new coach accepts and gets on the corporate jet sent to pick him up we will know. All in good time.

IMO there are no snags in the negotiation because there have been no formal ones.  Don't get your panties in a wad if this goes until mid-December.  Regardless of any rumors, even the big $$$ guys will need to gather cash and work out the details. Remember, all funds will need to be funneled through UT and will need to be encumbered to prevent the UT administration from taking a cut.

Hyams scored a coup in 2010 when everyone else was saying Cutcliffe was headed to UT. Let's hope this isn't a repeat, because he's the only media type out on that limb right now.

So Peyton needs to get on the phone.

Sure, UT is required interview three candidates.  Merely a formality, imo.
