Morning.

Was reading some twitter and on Jayson Swain's page, someone replied to a comment that said, it's in Butch's contract that if we don't go to a bowl game and is fired, he doesn't get a buyout?

That sounds wonky, right?

I don't think Currie's even working Gruden. I don't think that would start until Butch is fired. I think there's some preliminary stuff going on with the big guys in the back ground.

I really suggest that people read “The System”. It talks about coaching searches, both Rodriguez and then Saban to Bama, and Hamilton’s attempt to go after Mike Leach while Fulmer was still coach. People would probably be surprised how these things actually work.

The System - Books on Google Play

If Gruden doesn't want to come here because he was afraid of ruining relationships and not being successful, then there is no way he goes to the Browns.

Alright, I'm going to enjoy the day and hopefully there will be Grude news later this afternoon.

Having caught up on this thread, my thoughts:

-It is absolutely hilarious that when reliable people like JAV, LWS and Hutch say Gruden is interested, people want to believe them. But when Gruden is off the table, all of the sudden they are lying, misinformed, or it's a smokescreen. It makes no sense at all for them to cover anything up by saying Gruden turned down the job. If anything, the story is gonna be that they are not talking to anybody, because they have a head coach already.

-if Gruden wants to go to the Browns, don't blame Haslam. He's not stealing him from under our noses. It's probably because Gruden just does not want to coach college football.

-that being said, Haslam is a big, big problem and most likely the reason UT athletics is in the state it's in, and why we probably won't have a big name coach while he is around. He is a cancer. But how do you get rid of him? No way anybody is gonna say "No thanks, you can keep your money and take your power."

-I truly believe there is no 100% plan in place to fire Butch right now. I think its still up in the air, believe it or not. I do not trust Currie. I think he is a Haslam guy. If we had a coach waiting, I believe Butch would be gone. I also think that every game, outside LSU, is a must win for him now. If he keeps winning (high unlikely), it would not surprise me if he is coach at least till the end of the season and maybe even next year. Don't think it will happen tho. This offense is in shambles, and Currie will have no choice but trot out the next up-and-comer to the podium.

I can believe all this except Butch being back next year. No way! Stands would have 60k in them. They'd could pay Gruden $20mil and lose less money.

Hutch7 is posting on TOS this morning. Basically says:

Gruden to the Vols doesn't look good right now.

Poster: why?

Haslems are heavily involved.

Poster: I thought Haslems wanted him?

Hutch: they do if you get what I mean.


He thinks he's going to the Browns

His ego is being fed by a lot more than cash.

It's actually good news if Butch isn't fired today. There are still a couple of key details to be worked out before Gruden can make a final decision. Tomorrow should be a very interesting day.

Another Bubba sighting. I'm still baffled by your 1st post 10 years after creating your acct. Who are you? lol

I could see that happening. From Mayor to Governor to UT President makes sense for Bill since Big Daddy Jim is getting up there in years and someone needs to keep control of UTK in the family. One would think Little Jim owning the Browns would be a conflict of interest in some way.
