So you would rather Currie waste his time appeasing a bunch of idiots as he has to answer questions about what his latest tweet mean, rather than tending to the business at hand?

In case you haven't noticed "insightful one", Rome is burning.

This IS the business at hand.

I think MIT's reference to game theory is interesting. Would like to hear more.

As of this morning, I had no reason to believe that the AD/AA was going to call the boosters on their threat to pull $.

I hope this isn't too inflammatory for this thread, but I feel relatively confident in saying that Gruden isn't interested. I know everyone's mother's brother's third cousin's uncle on his father's side has a friend on the board that knows with absolute certainty that the deal has already been made, but I've just heard too much of that on the last go-around to have much faith. That being said, I'm not overly excited about potential Butch replacements either. The current Vegas odds top 5 have John Gruden (+250, although I still don't buy that he's interested, but maybe they know something I don't), Chip Kelly (+400), Jeff Brohm (+550), Bobby Petrino (+550), and Mike Norvell (+900).

Not gonna lie, there's only one name on that list that excites me, and that's Chip Kelly. Yes, the idea of Jon Gruden excites me, but as previously discussed, I just canlt make myself believe that he's interested. That being said, I;d like to discuss a name that I don't think gets brought up enough. It might be a long shot, but I think it's at least worth having a discussion about seeing if Jim Tressel is ready to come out of retirement. His show-cause penalty ended in Dec '16. He had 6 Big Ten Conference championships, 2 BCS championships (if you count the vacated one), and a a career record of 229–79–2, or 241-79-2 if you count the vacated wins. With Ohio State, he was 94-22 (106-22). I just don't see another coach out there that can really match that record, and I don't know why he isn't discussed more.

Thoughts?

All of them craving a sliver of hope that this admin knows what it is doing before everyone hes to delve back into the doldrums of monday.

Waiting, holding out to the last second that the workweek could start with a spark instead of a toilet flush.

Just give him time.
If you are so smart why don't you go be the coach?
If you don’t see improvement you are stupid.
He loves Tennessee.
If you don't blindly support Butch you aren't a real Tennessee fan.
Stop being mean to Butch.

The reference seems to be, based on his knowledge of the situation and his familiarity with decision making based on model, he would predict this situation to end up going how we all want it to.

Tells me he doesn’t know enough about UTAD lol
