We must have posted about the same time @CBK2018

 

[bigblueinsanity]

Can't be. He sucks per numerous keyboard warriors. Runs "up the middle" too much

 

[Smashcat]

If he goes and Hinshaw follows do we lose our QB signees?

No I highly doubt it. They are signed

 

[KyCatFan]

We probably would promote Hinshaw to OC. Not sure if that would be a good move or not.

 

[KyCatFan]

No I highly doubt it. They are signed

They can ask to be released. The next OC might not fit the type of QB's they are.

 

[bigbluedon]

Sure hope he doesn’t go. God knows who Stoops would bring in and this continuity has been good. Plus Gran is a good recruiter. What is he making now?

 

[Creed Bratton]

So who could we realistically get if Gran accepts?

 

[mlharv]

Bill Curry's would be a good OC. Same philosophy as stoops, plus the old power "I".

Football scoop is reporting according to Matt Jones , Gran offered $1.1 million & complete control of Offense. He is probably gone if true.

Does Mitch break out the wallet??? Should he???

Our guys are saying it's not true. Someone is getting bad info.

 

[sieken]

I don't think MB can afford not to but it may not come down to money. I think EG still has the desire to be the head man, he may view UGA being the quicker route.

Well it is KSR and facts are optional with them.

Has Fromm put in his transfer papers?

 

[sieken]

Football Scoop is usually pretty solid with their info. KSR.... hit and miss.

 

[SpamburgerHamburger]

Gran will make $875,000 at UK in 2019. I'd bet UK will match Georgia's offer. Maybe not since he just signed extension here after last season through 2020. He also has a $150K per year left on his contract as a buyout if he leaves. It's going to come to down to Gran wanting to go to Georgia or not.

 

[sieken]

Georgia: Kentucky offensive coordinator Eddie Gran has been offered the offensive coordinator job, per Matt Jones of KSR. Jones adds that Gran has been offered over $1.1 million per year and would have complete control of the offense. Update> Sources tell FootballScoop the offer has been extended to Gran. As of this morning, sources tell FootballScoop Eddie was strongly considering remaining at Kentucky; but that decision was not final. Will update when we hear more.

Per Football Scoop

 

[billue]

its going to cost us over a mil no matter who we get. that's the way its trending these days

Sounds like Eddie' agent is doing a controlled leak. Could be used to squeeze UK for more money.

 

[SwirlyCat19]

Stoops should give Gran full control of the Offense. That Georgia OC position will propel him into a P5 Head coaching position sooner than later. I wouldn't blame him if he decided to leave Lexington.

Bill Curry's would be a good OC. Same philosophy as stoops, plus the old power "I".

Don't joke...that shat ain't even funny!

 

[CUJO_1970]

Be careful what (some of you) wish for.

We were 10-3 with Gran, best UK team of the modern era and our all-time leading rusher and the future looks bright.

 

[sieken]

The complete control line sounds like garbage to me. Maybe a little added commentary?

 

[SpamburgerHamburger]

Na, I bet that was explicitly stated in the offer. There are tons of OC's who don't get full autonomy in the offence, or even call the plays.

 

[gimme6]

should go all in to keep him... if we cant I would consider Hinshaw strongly.

 

[sieken]

I get that but how does Kirby know how things are run here. That's thrown out there like a selling point, which leads you to believe it is a selling point. My question is, how does Kirby know or not know that.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Our guys are saying it's not true. Someone is getting bad info.

I would trust your folks over anything Matt Jones says but who knows? $1.1 million seems like a lot to offer Gran but Georgia can afford it. Time will tell who is correct.

He gets his info from here.

He doesn't have to know if it's like that here. Everyone knows it's not like that everywhere. So make him the most enticing offer you can.

 

[morgousky]

I don’t like Gran he makes a ton of bone headed calls and isn’t a player friendly caller.

He’s been caught in bad situations over and over by his own doing.

Please go.

Only problem is we lack stability. I don’t know.

4 divided by 702 = .005 (1/2 of 1 percent) LMAO!

 

[BigSexyCat]

I want to see Gran with a top QB and good receivers at Kentucky. To be honest the QB and receiver position at Kentucky have been underwhelming. It's hard judge Gran given what he has had to work with.

 

[geedubgeedub]

His agent doing some work.

Here is the quote with an update from FootballScoop:

[ThePunk]

Gran likes it here. His family and him have to be tired of moving from place to place. His strong Christian ties here with a local church probably benefit UK more than some know.

With that being said, Do you turn down 1.1 million and “a program upgrade”?? I probably wouldn’t
