Did I just hear a BOOM???

Too much empty analysis based upon what WE want and when WE want it.

Everybody needs to relax. If Currie wasn't busy fixing this, don't you think we'd have heard a vote of confidence from him sometime since the Florida game? Georgia game?

Butch is gone, has been since Georgia....when is a matter of what is best for the deal being made.

Y'all need to understand, and I'm sure many of you do, that this isn't about the boosters financially supporting the AD. This is about every single facet of the university having the necessary funding.

Impossible to become a top 30 public research university without shiny new labs. No shiny new labs without mega-boosters that love to watch winning football.

I mentioned many threads ago, that the interwebz is a powerful tool, if used wisely.

And these Gruden threads will be used as case study in university psychology and social engineering courses.

This whole drama is quite interesting.

Maybe it already is, MIT or any other high profile graduate in the field of tech and human behavior could test a lot of theories..maybe while being paid for the work.

How does florida just make stuff happen, but with us it’s a two month super secret process with CIA involvement and UFO sightings, leaks and suspicions being wildly thrown around. Etc.

Florida’s like “you’re fired”

And now their search is on. That easy. No rumors or secrets. Just cut and dry.

It’s like a bad comedy.

After hearing this, I'm coming back in off the ledge. I'm going to go take deep breaths into a paper bag and get something good to eat.

Hope your son had a good game yesterday!

When I started at UT in engineering the brand new engineering building had just been completed, but there was no money for the necessary equipment. The athletic department spent 10's of millions of dollars to buy ME that equipment to increase the value of my degree.

This is the way this used to be done. Not a new philosophy, just one we need to return to.

The timing decision is all on the AD’s side which I can only speculate about. I will say this, I am surprised Butch is still the coach with how badly we are bleeding on the recruiting end.

Maybe part of the "agreement' with Butch is he gets to decide the timing. He does not want to be fired in mid season, nor does he want to resign mid season and appear to quit on his team. Maybe he saw some potential wins with the remainder of the schedule and wanted to try to win some games before he resigned
