Even if Chip did sign, Stricklin wasn't going to announce the hiring to some random dude that showed up at the airport streaming on Periscope.
I'd imagine at least some of the players/recruits are following the rumor mill just like the rest of us. That unverified info from the guy's son...
Even if it turned out to be correct, this explains his tweet earlier. He didn't want this piece he worked all day on to be ruined.
Schrodinger's Contract The contract is both signed and not signed at the same time.
Has that even been confirmed? That was a tweet from something called "Southern Fried Rumors" that has like 500 Twitter followers.

ESPN avoiding the issue. Rumors confirmed.
What color tie is Chip wearing?!?!?

Can we bring in Faedo to get the last out?
This is the biggest gamble in program history. All in.
