I don't think they are actually going to hire McGriff.

I think Freeze is just telling people that to build momentum & try to get back in the game with Avery. Then, after signing day, he'll just say that it didn't work out & they are going with someone else.

If this isn't the case, then why hasn't McGriff been hired yet? What is keeping OM from announcing this right now?

Perhaps my theory in crazy & stupid, but until OM actually hires McGriff, it's something to think about
