I think I am done then with this season. Not sure I can watch or attend another game with Butch as coach. Nothing against the kids playing the game but if the AD doesn't care about the fans, our money or the success of the football team (like we are being told) then why should we?

It is time to watch all the classic games on YouTube and put this season to rest.

Many of us were told it was a done deal in 2012, obviously it wasn't. If it were done now, Butch would be fired. There is absolutely no reason to keep him if the deal is 100%. If he isn't fired today, we are exactly where you said. Gruden is still considering or he is out. I hope it's the first and a small hurdle needs to be cleared. I was told right before the game Butch was out this week too. Im not going to believe 100% of what I'm told this time though.

Didn’t someone like Beaver say this is how it would happen? First Vegas, second articles/leaks, followed by an announcement.

Anyone believing what Beaver said or will continue to say need to do a self assessment or turn their BS meter on. Guy or girl has trolled everyone since day 1.

Jones will be let go after 5-7 is locked, be it before or after the last game. Right now I am betting on before. So Miss is 5-3. Way better than UMass.

So......the powers at Florida are voting to fire their coach who won the SEC East each year he was coach until this year.

Meanwhile, Tennessee is quiet about the future of their coach who hasn’t sniffed a SEC East championship in five years!

Have Tennessee powers accepted a good but mediocre level of performance?

My source has always told me that Haslam is a huge obstacle to anything in the AD. When I've asked him if this or that can happen, it's always "If Haslem will get out of the way!" I'm starting to think Haslam is in the way again. I don't think Currie is calling the shots or having much of a say right now. I also think that's why Currie is our AD.

My fear as well

We seem to be riding in a 4 door sedan of sadness.

Ok, now I need to go back and read the previous 10 pages (50 ppp).

Currie was in the Big 12 last year and watched Texas fire Charlie Strong and hire Tom Herman on the same day, about 7 hours apart. There is a good chance that is the model he is shooting for with this change.

At least, that's what I keep telling myself to explain this inaction because the alternative is too depressing.

I would love to believe that has been the plan all along. steal some thunder from the playoff show on Tuesday. Get Gruden thru monday night football, annouce Tuesday to national audience and introduce him to the fans at homecoming Saturday night to a full house!

The answer is yes.
Also, thank you for typing quiet and not quite.
Pet peeve of mine.

Listen. ESPN has the rights to break this story whenever that trigger gets pulled. All the on air people have a gag order from the top brass on this. Last night after the game it was all McElwain over and over and over...came to TN and it was very lil.

Currie is a ****ing genius if somehow he saw this Florida thing coming and is using it as part of the screen. Regardless, NOONE os talking about BOTCH or ANYTHING UT RELATED....

The silence is deafening... frustrating...yes, becoming obvious, plausible.

Let that sink in....

Ok so what is Fox Sports reason for not breaking it?

Let's say your ESPN theory is correct, still doesn't explain why CBS Sports, Fox Sports and Sports Illustrated haven't said anything, heck Yahoo sports hasn't even come out with anything and they're usually pretty good about breaking stories like this

I find it hard to believe all of those networks are all in on some big conspiracy to not break the story

Solid assessment and if Butch is at practice Tuesday he will be here against Vandy and he will likely set another record and lose 8 or even 9. We can't match up with anyone else on our schedule. We want a spark but are only getting smoke.

Maybe Currie doesn’t want to fire a record breaking coach?

I’ve said it before, but either Currie is the meanest SOB of a poker player ever or he’s a moron. I want to believe it’s the former, but every day Butch is still here, I am tempted to believe the latter.

The waiting is agony
