Seems like a lot of people are kind of on the fence with being optimistic about gruden coming. Haven't really heard from beaver but hopefully it's still a go

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.

Well heck, Haslam hired a baseball guy this year to run an analytics department to help the Browns figure out how to evaluate talent better. So as technical (and crazy) as this theory sounds, I wouldn't put it past them to have some high quant stuff going on here too.

Honestly no, maybe 3, 3 that really come with balls out info that seem to good to be true.

Then the regulars who get snippets from close ties to the program.

Then the riddlers (us, etc)

Then the chicken littles

Then the asshats

Butch is still here, but not coming back. Major board drama, with haters trying to occupy the high ground.
Paul Finebaum said some stuff. Recruiting is on hold.

Full Grude.

I am confused as usual. I go out to the store with my wife come back a thread is closed, Butch is still the coach, some posters call people out for whatever reason and insiders and supposed insiders get feelings hurt and stop posting and will not come back, and all this in about 4 hrs. The fact remains nobody knows what is going to happen and I believe that includes the AD and his staff.

In 2012 the same thing happened,so and so that I know that is the janitor to this guy over heard blah blah blah. Then this person heard from a connected sourch that once delivered papers for the Sentinel that this billionaire didn't like how he was treated and took his yacht and went home and it feel through, will it ever stop ????

Lets face it we all want to have a Great Football team, one that has the potential to compete for championships every year but we as a University are cheap. Only Once have we got a big name coach (Majors) and other than that zilch ,zero, notha. Been Lucky at time yes ( Neyland, Dickey, Fulmer ) but have not had a good track record lately.

We have a puppet for an AD, you have a guy for a major booster that seems to call the shots and if you look at his other dealings as of late and history in the distant past when it comes to hiring coaches and getting people put in high places it really speaks volumes and an Admin. that is not worried about atheletics in the least as long as it is making money.

UT can put 60,000 in the seats and the school will make money off the rest of the SEC. How do you think Vandy and Miss State hang on with what they have and have had in the past. Is their stuff as nice...no way but they still get those checks.

UT was once the leader of the pack in sports in the state now the way things are I not sure they are in the top 5. Arguabley the 3rd best fooball team, 5th or 6th best basketball team 5th or 6th baseball team and this from a school that 10-20 years ago was the best thing going in just about everything or at least competitive at a high level. Now look at us.

A sad state of affairs for sure and sadly with the same ring master trotting out the ponies I'm affraid it is not going to change anytime soon.... unless they trot out a new show pony and his name is GRUDEN.
