If CDC called his bluff, it's due to the fact CDC already has someone in mind to replace Sark.
Kind of like he did with Pierce when he got Schloss. It was in the pipeline way before aggy made their trek to Omaha.
The issue now is how the next four weeks play out and if that guy CDC has in mind is being pursued now by LSU, Florida and Penn State. Do we go 4-0 or 3-1 ( the loss is respectable against UGA) and all is forgiven? Or do we get humiliated against Vandy and the fan base and some of the BMD's are fit to be tied followed by a whipping against UGA. That would be the point of no return IMO.
But CDC is not going to wait around. He put a stop to the bleeding with baseball and basketball before it became a major wound. The football time table is much shorter.
