On Scout, they are saying he was hired at Tennessee.  This is better than reading the National Enquirer!

Unless it's simply about money, this move makes no sense to me.

Agree. Even then it doesn't.

A lateral move from your alma mater where you have it made and being able to name your salary to T Boone? Makes no sense.

If you look at it in terms of relative conference pecking order, I'd call it a step down.

Not something an older man should do. Especially if he is 40 or more.

Internet fodder says Gundy isn't happy with OK State's athletic department. 

Who knows?  Maybe he felt like his superiors didn't do enough to get him in the BCSCG last year.

My Project Manager is a Okie State Grad, and he'll confirm your first statement.  Says the AD and Gundy have bad blood, that the AD won't let Gundy have any say in the out of conference scheduling.

Now, it's not Gundy?

I can't keep up with this shit.

Quote
2:10PM EST December 4. 2012 - Arkansas is close to hiring a coach, but it's not Mike Gundy.

A person familiar with the search process who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the subject said the school is nearing an announcement but said, contrary to reports by Rivals.com and the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, it is not Gundy. The person would not identify the prospective hire.

Arkansas did not retain interim coach John L. Smith after finishing 4-8 this season. Smith had replaced Bobby Petrino, who was fired last April amid scandal.

Gundy, in his eighth season as Oklahoma State's head coach, has been linked to the opening at Tennessee as well as at Arkansas.

Since I know who is on our search committee, would I be a "person familiar with the search process"?

If so, I say we just named Kirby Smart, unless we didn't. And please don't identify me.  It's sensitive and all that.

It's Wisconsin's HC Bret Bielema is the new Ark Coach.
