OT: Gang, we have entered everyone's favorite part of being a boog - coaching fire/hire rumor mill

The whole Stoops story originated with two boosters, who, without any authority from AU or any trustees, tried to contact Stoops on on their own. He said no. The boosters, not happy, decided to leak the story to try and force Gus' hand. That's basically where we are now. As far as I know, there has been no renegotiation.

ADAG has vetoed Freeze for 2 reasons:
1. Gus lobbied HARD for Chip, and his contract. He has an over $1 million buyout, and AU isn't going to throw good money after bad
2. The SEC will veto Freeze even if AU doesn't. Saban tried to get Freeze as ANALYST last season, and was told no. Do you really think they're gonna let us have him as an ON THE FIELD COARCH next season? No way Jose.

Edit to add: this info came from a board member
Yeah Bob story got leaked because he wasn’t interested. Wouldn’t have come out otherwise. That was done to send a message to Gus
 
You're right it's moot, but the whole point was AU/ua were under no show cause agreement for hiring Freeze as an assistant. The HC thing is irrelevant.

This is from your article:
According to a report by Mark Schlabach of ESPN, Freeze could become a coordinator or assistant and not have any restrictions.

The SEC vetoed this because of who Freeze is as a human being. That's all.
 
Figured out the reason behind BS rumor number 2.

The leak mentioned demands no one would accept.

When Gus rejects this so called deal. It paints Leath in a further bad light.

Leath will either be forced to fire him and be held answerable for the huge buyout.

Leath will allow Gus to stay and he will be held answerable for handling the negotiations so badly and for agreeing to the buyout in the first place and for allowing this thing to paint AU in a bad light. Incompetance charges. Their proof will be the articles referenced by PAM and others.
 
So Paul Johnson just retired at Georgia Tech. That really is the perfect landing spot for Gus to piss off to but it won’t happen
I bet poor tech fans are just as tired of the down hill run first playaction offense as we are. Gus could have some success there until all the decent OL exit out of the program.

Brohm just announced that he's turning down Louisville and staying at Purdue. Guessing he knows he can get a better gig (maybe AU) after next season.

I’ll never bring myself to respect or applaud or admire Gus...

but I will say that I’m glad his terminal obliviousness and stubbornness is helping this entire fiasco play out as embarrassingly as possible

a smarter, more self aware man would help all of this take place in the shadows and some guilty parties would be able to sneak through and continue to fvck shit up in perpetuity... but this cocksucker is gonna bring down so many people with him I’ll weep with joy when he’s finally gone in December 2020
