I just can't understand why people are pushing for Gruden. My experience is that people who are in jobs they don't want to be in do not perform well, and he has said numerous times he does not want to be a college coach. In addition, he was only a mediocre pro coach (54% wins), has not coached in 9 years, and only has limited college coaching experience. I don't think he cares for recruiting, and has a good salary in his current job with a lot less stress than a college coach. It seems to me that only people who do not want to see UT return to championship football would want Gruden.

MITbeaver please tell me if I'm off base.
Castor Ventures=MIT grads formed VC firm. Castor is scientific name for beaver. Bubba popped in same time as you and said he works at a VC firm in Silicon Valley negotiating a deal for Gruden to UT. You are in Cali where Dish HQs are. Charlie Ergen started as a card counting gambler. You just left Vegas. Is your source Charlie Ergen? Are you and Bubba connected? Are either of you related to the Ergens?

It's time for the fans to give Currie and the AA the beat down like Butch has received.

We have a total dysfunctional administration

Certainly, if you want to continue diminishing the chances that an elite coach will come here...have at it. Our fan base is starting to make Alabama's fan base look tame.

I want Butch gone just as much as anyone, and just as quickly as anyone. But this thing has to let itself play out. The fans who are turning rabid on Currie don't know what they're talking about. It isn't like the AD is sitting at his desk playing solitaire all day. He's working on this. Let it play out. Heck, I don't want Butch coaching at Kentucky this week, but it's going to happen and there's nothing we can do about it. In the meantime, Currie is working on the problem.

Castor Ventures is not directly involved. I've never met Charlie Ergen. I don't know who MITbeaver is, but I have a pretty good idea who his source is.

Bubba you are the one wild card I haven't figured out in this game of Clue. What is the most interesting detail of the offer to Gruden?

Currie would be hailed as a HERO if he brought in Gruden no matter what. Heck Vol fans would chip in and have a statue built of Currie and Gruden. Heck they can put one up of Haslem and I wouldn't care. If I was Currie I would rather be known as the AD that got Gruden than the AD the got a weak coach and it failed. He gets Gruden and no matter what happens most sane Vol fans aren't blaming Currie. It's hard enough to win, at least go down swinging. At the worst the revenues you make having got Gruden plus the talent he will have stockpiled would be nothing to sneeze at. SOON!!!! GBO!!!! VFL!!!!!

No, Currie would not be hailed as a hero for hiring a mediocre coach who only won 54% of his games, doesn't want the job and hasn't coached in 9 years, much longer since a college coach. Why do you want to have UT continue in mediocrity? We need a proven college coach to take over, not another average one.
