Could the Mike Gundy saga today end with him in the same job where he started?
Gundy, of course, has been romanced by Arkansas and Tennessee. Arkansas got married and Tennessee seems ready to walk down the aisle, perhaps with Charlie Strong.
Evan Woodbery of the Knoxville (Tenn.) News Sentinel and ESPN’s Chris Low wrote that Strong appears to have emerged as the Volunteers’ top choice.
But Pat Forde of Yahoo! Sports wrote that multiple sources who had spoken to Strong said he seemed committed to staying put.
“Unless he’s the greatest poker player of all time, I don’t think he’s going anywhere,” a Louisville source told Yahoo! Sports.
Gundy and one of Gundy’s former assistants -- North Carolina coach Larry Fedora -- also are considered candidates, but reports that Fedora interviewed Tuesday have been disputed.
Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich has expressed that he is poised to take measures to keep Strong. Do OSU officials feel the same way about Gundy -- monetarily or otherwise -- less than a year removed from the coach getting a lucrative eight-year contract extension?
Wednesday will be an interesting day.
