| Hargis is sticking by his story. Says talks were centered more between gruden camp and boosters which is why grudens agent can technically say they werent in negotiations or talking to hart. Says they are very divided on money for assistants. Also claims a second source txtd him last night and said he had talked to grudens agent and lamont told him that if ut didnt meet demands for assistants gruden would walk. Says gruden already has a plan to fix the program and that things are further along than others have reported. Says if this falls through its more ut's fault for letting this turn into the mess it has become. |

| Harris from TFP who broke the story from chatt last night says on 104.5 in Nashville says the hang up is assistants money and that his 3rd source who is a coach in SEC, if I heard right, says we should know in next day or two of "they are ready to play big boy football with Alabama and the rest of us"
Hang in there. Hart has to find a way to get boosters help and put up the money.

| Hubbs has now joined Clay Travis, Hargis, and Chris Low in saying that Gruden was never #1 on Dave Hart's list.
sidebar: Dave Hart is woefully inept.

| Not to make anyone mad but from VQ...

Gruden was # 1 candidate of a set of boosters but Haslam, IMO, was not on that side. it is exactly why things are at the point they are.
Haslam's side always wins folks.

Gruden wanted the job. Gonna be some upset people when the details come out. And like Larry said, Hart is the winner. He has The Juice.

Haslam would be fine with Gruden, but not with what they wanted. NO school could accept their terms. And I don't know all the details but based on what I heard 2 weeks ago and it being correct, I never felt this would fly. The end result happened in the last 48 hours. back off and it could be back in play.

| I posted in a different area...but due to ppl hearing and reading what they want...i am posting it again here as well.
Jon Grudens contract was up in 2011. IF he is owed any money from his buyout, it is money he agreed to defer. That deferred money, does not have stipulations that include not being able to take another head coaching job. He has been free to take another HC job, starting after TB's last game, last season. The Dec 1st, and Dec 15th dates being tossed around...the "he wants to stick it to TB" idea's...are just that...ideas. Payments from TB, never...ever...ever had anything to do with UT or any other job starting almost 12 months ago. | |

| LWS response to who he think Big Jim wants:

That is still possible if they would alter demands. Personally, I think LaMonte AND Gruden had no interest in coaching here and were only playing the game they have played elsewhere to keep Gruden's name out there.
just my opinion, of course. | |
