..here are a couple things to remember. 

1.  If Dave Hart makes any official personnel decisions, and announces them publicly, it will be all over the KNS, ESPN, etc.  It will NOT be carried exclusively by some site called "SEC Talk".  Furthermore, we'll all know about it hours or days in advance, because he'll call a press conference for something of that magnitude. 

2.  Bleacher Report is not, I repeat, NOT a legitimate source of sports news.  ANYONE can become a BR "Contributor".  All you need to provide is your name and email address.  Thus, it's full of 12 year old wannabe "sportswriters".  Occasionally, you'll find a good opinion piece on there.  But it is not the place to go for breaking news.

Just something for everyone to keep in mind during this chaotic time.

But, the first time you hear the truth, it WILL be on a message board or blog.

That's true.  Boards and blogs are always out in front of the "legitimate" news sources (of course, you'll also hear 10 false rumors for every true one, but that's all part of the experience).  I'm just saying that it looks like some people think that sites like Bleacher Report are as legit as ESPN, and that's just not the case.
