Here is the irony of anti Grude threads to me. Those who think we are silly to believe info Gruden is coming are relying on the same kind of info he isn't.

Yesterday on 99.1 on the cross over to Erik Ainge. He said a few things which I have been thinking about. He said the following things in a casual manner. I will paraphrase:
- Ainge is friends with a few big donors.
- Currie is asking these donors for more money then usual.
- The donors are reluctant to pay more than usual without the team showing a reason to.
- The donors will donate the normal amount, but they are hesitant to do more than that.
- The donors are not going anywhere. As in leaving.

With all of this said, do you guys think that maybe the deal with Gruden is all said and done but hinges upon Currie being able to persuade the donors for the money?

That is the opposite of what has been suggested for the past 2 months in here. AD blaming the money, money blaming the AD wouldnt surprise me though. Its chaos from top to bottom imo.

Yea? How do you know this for a fact? You seem to be speaking with with some authority. Feels like a **** storm to me...

There are obvious signs that Butch was fired weeks ago, some might even argue that he fired himself at the end of last season. If you believe that, then you must believe that Currie has a plan. There aren't two ways about it. Again, he is either incompetent or a benevolent evil genius. Pick one and every other thought you have about this should be built from there.

Have you witnessed Tenn football the last 10 years? Our relevance in college football is about on par with Vandy.

Gruden would be the most exciting thing to happen to Tenn since we won our NC.

Just information I will jump right in when he is named head coach. He would definitely be the best hire in a decade and NFL experience is the best you can get.

Wasn't too active last night so don't know how you got that impression. I asked a simple question to her and a select few are up in arms that I asked a question. What's funny to me is she didn't seem to be upset at all and did a pretty good job of answering my question as seen below.

Thanks, I'm not on her all the time so wasn't sure if you were hearing something I wasn't aware of.

IMO, the hits our brand is getting from the outside world are no worse than the hits that came from the "Champions of Life", or the Team 121 Trash Can, or "Leadership Reps".

It's really bad on the inside (fans), but that can be fixed instantly if they make the right hire.

Outward perception is no worse than it's been since last year, again IMO.

Bad cliches are great to laugh at... but losing to USC, Kentucky, and Vandy is no laughing matter.

True, but we lost to 2 of those teams last year already.

I'm just saying, the AD likely isn't seeing this as we are getting drug through the national mud, so delaying all of this isn't an issue for them.

You don't have to hear anything, just look at the product on the field. Doesn't take any "inside information" to come to a reasonable conclusion on Butch's fate.

Don't believe anything is being held up on the donor side.

I agree. This may not be the best analogy, but it should suffice.

Average Joe has a dead end job making 35 grand a year. He's paying the bills and has a nice savings.

He wants more and decides to invest his life savings and open his own business. Its a huge gamble, and would completely change his life. Either way.

He gets investors, finds a location and has everything lined up. Everything looks great.

Now, what could possibly derail this situation? Jane, Joes wife. She's happy with being a wife and mother and the way things are, just being a family and raising the kids and saving for their college education.

Joes plan is solid and ready to go, Jane should be on board, but she has the ability to turn it into a complete cluster fug.

Obviously I could detail this a little more, but I didn't want to make it too long and this should be enough.

Do interim coaches get paid more once they take on that role or is it the same? Maybe there is so many issues with the staff that some are threatening to walk out if so and so are named interim ahead of them

I enjoy reading this thread daily and some of the various promoters. The entertainment value is about the same for me as the new AT&T commercial. You know where one guy wakes up in a bed of poison ivy, a woman is chugging a bottle of spoiled milk, the guy returns to ramming his head into a low beam after hitting it accidentally the first time, the woman enjoying her paper cut while licking an envelope, and the guy giddy about having his arm trapped in a vending machine. Soon very soon yes it will be entertaining to watch.
