    Looks aside, he knows a lot. But he can be wrong and I hope he is.

    I think some folks were rubbed the wrong way by the firing story a week or two back. I don't think you intended any harm or offense.

    I appreciate your views and your consistent unnuanced stance on rape.

    Lets hope you don't have to fire him in a week.

    if it's not announced this week, i'm going with 0% and am fully preparing myself to turning in my fan card until they hire a real coach. I'll go support MTSU football, and spend time at the d2 school where i played

    It probably won't be announced this week.

    So he's not getting an ovation at the LSU game?

    Savage Orange I need ammunition, not a ride. -V Zelensky.

    If it goes that long, I feel like we can be pretty sure it isn't Gruden. Hopefully he'd come out before that and say so but what do I know?

    Pretty sure I won’t. For the record, you wouldn’t have kept any I fired

    I would be like Suzyn Waldman when Roger Clemens went back to the Yankees.

    No - I don't think so. There were rumblings that he wanted that timetable so I'll be comfortable until we get into next week.

    But it's a steep cliff. If I haven't seen an announcement by Wednesdsy, my hair will be on fire.

    Yeah, we've heard that there was a plan in place, a time frame to follow, there would be a quick fire/hire turnaround, etc. If it doesn't happen before the weekend, I'll start leaning towards this playing out like last time.

    It may drag out longer than anybody wants if Gruden is as concerned about appearing to not be the reason Butch was fired as has been indicated in the past. It's pretty much obvious to me that he was getting the ax regardless, but who knows the mind of others?

    But if that timeline originally assumed Butch would survive through LSU then this throws a kink in the quick turnaround.

    Not sure how someone got rubbed the wrong way. Didn’t suggest firing anyone here, but thanks for the clarification. And I am only important to wife and 6 kids.

    And since you brought it up, Hoke needs a security detail at The Woodlands.

    I think they wanted to hang onto Butch until 30 seconds after the LSU game, then announce the following week.

    The position will be empty a week longer than expected.
