Lol! A girl heard that he was looking at the home on 1909 Rudder Ln. here on this thread. Doesn’t surprise me. That’s a super nice neighborhood. I have to travel out to that side of town for work.

So the hold up....if you're Currie you have to sleep on it, waiting on timing, or do you still have to convince someone? There is the question

Well, I don't think it's Currie's choice. My impression is that the deal is so expansive it affects all parts of the University. At which point the decision maker is no longer one person, its the entity known as "The University of Tennessee." This would implicate the Chancellor, BOT, etc.

Some sort of consensus decision would have to be reached and Currie would have to advocate for his plan in the UT Bureaucracy. I just don't believe its as easy as Currie signing on the line. He likely doesn't have authority to cause performance of all the points of the deal.

However, the same game theory approach applies to all who have a say in the decision. It should be a win-win, if they can "not confuse a want and a need."

Well Im in my 50s and dont work as hard as I used to wanting to have a career. $$$ no the issue anymore and why would he want to jump into that rat race. On the other hand maybe he wants the challenge. Just reporting what I heard.

So, Butch is the interim.

Tennessee football season is a total cluster, everyone so mad at Butch about it that some want Currie fired for not firing Butch. But Currie can't get rid of Butch because he can't find anyone to take the interim position.


That right?

Who knows?

I sometimes wonder why we want Gruden so bad. He did win a Super Bowl and that is about it. Other than that season and one more he was below .500 as an NFL coach and ended his career 100 and 85 with a playoff record of 5 and 4. Other than his NFL career he was a position coach in college has never been the head man. So he is the guy that most want to be the coach here, but I don't see a lot of good coaching years. He was 4 and 12 one season and 5 and 11 another. Of course he has that Super Bowl.

Hyamns just says what ever the Administration wants him to say .... It may never be Gruden, but I don't trust anything Hyamns says

It is Monday of game week. I assume that is standard. Sundays are off days. Team meeting before practice etc on Monday. Correct me if I'm wrong somebody.

Ehh it was delivered to me as an nontraditional meeting. I'll see if I can get more info but figured someone here is more connected

Yeah, this is relatively unprecedented. It wouldn't surprise me if a few high level NCAA attorney's have been drafting policy statements for this exact reason. Answering some version of the question, "When can a prospective NCAA coach announce his employment when he is currently working for a major sports media outlet?"

It's uncharted waters, and I'm fascinated.

In this era, information and opinion moves fast. Once it drops, it'll change overnight - no matter how long we wait. In six months, it won't matter whether he was announced tomorrow, or Nov. 30.

I do have a suspicion, based on a mostly overlooked ATL post, that there are boosters and UT staff working behind the scenes to try and judge how many recruits we lose by waiting. There's a game theory analysis and CBA that is done. If the risk is less than the gain of time behind the scenes you delay as long as possible.

Controlling the spread of information can absolutely not be undervalued.

First, game theory...now CBA's being thrown around. Speaking my language guys!!!! All aboard the Grude train!!! :clapping:

Presumably, though, Currie has made his decision. Indecision is, in and if itself, a decision. By not deciding swiftly, he's limiting other options.

I'm simply reading the tea leaves but here's my take:

Butch hasn't been on twitter in three weeks and has basically stopped recruiting. Obviously that's not the behavior of someone who expects to have their job long.

If Tennessee doesn't seem him as the coach next year then they should have canned him to get a head start, especially now that Florida has also opened up.

My guess is that UT isn't in a rush because they already have their guy lined up.......or they could be totally incompetent.

Always look in here first. She's usually multitasking. Cooking us wings, monitoring VN, explaining problems, smoothing ruffled feathers...

Can I take my earlier post about being done with this back? I'm still pretty down but can never give up on my Vols. Have I missed anything while having my nose to the grind stone at work?
