My personal opinion on Dan trying to leave- I think he was going to but couldn't find someone to pay him as much as us except for Georgia who got blocked by the SEC.
You have a lot of damage control for a lot of smoke right now.

It's because he doesn't want to take a pay cut. If he wants to leave he needs to start winning big games for us first- including the Egg Bowl.Quote:

Shaping the message, indeed...
The door is always open. Why would he have answered it differently than he has for the past 7 years?Quote:

Threads like this don't need to be started again, unless you're a troll. If you want us to think you're a troll, and want to be banned, please continue bringing it up. Otherwise, celebrate the win, talk about men and women's basketball, and he upcoming baseball season. Throw in a little rebruiting chatter and there's plenty to discuss.
