re: Hogville sure is blowing up with Gruden crap

I've been on the Gruden train ever since April. However, I would be JUST AS HAPPY with Pete Carroll as I would be with Gruden

I suspect he is talking about Tubberville. Tubberville's interest in the job is good only as a firewall against Long making a god awful decision. He should not be considered a first choice.

Well, if it ends up being a hire like Gruden or Carroll, I will be the first to send an apology letter to JL.

Remember JL does not hire coaches at the UofA. Or at least that's what I've noticed from the last 2 hires.

It wasn't "ties" to the state. It was about the "ties" that Gruden wore on MNF. It was "anthracite & red" last week....the plot thickens.

Okay. Y'all all reading way too much into this. Schaap meant Gruden. That came directly from Trey's mouth. I wouldn't put a ton of stock into it, and I certainly wouldn't get my hopes up, yet. But that tweet was absolutely about Gruden.

Gruden knows Jerry...Jerry has ties to the program and the state.

I can't get any of them to answer a question right now and that might be a good thing. They're usually very quick to answer when there's nothing to a subject.

I can contribute to this thread. A lot of the big time money boosters are wanting an announcement ASAP. One of the biggest boosters said the money is in place for Gruden to make 1.5-2 million dollars more a year than Bobby made. I don't know what that amount is but I'm sure you guys can tell me. He also said that the deal is in place for Gruden to sign which contradicts what Schaap said of it already being a done deal. However, Schaap is reliable and has a good source on this.

I'll say this. There are a lot of people saying Gruden and I feel like they have no connection to each other to be making it up.
