I'm on page 244 catching up. This is my belief unless it is EXTREMELY recent.

Taking a while. Have to validate theories enroute to the end of this thread and check twitter occasionally. I found something last night that previous google searches were coming up blind. Finally hit it. Internet is your friend.

I have contended since the beginning it is very unlikely but do not want to be "mean" about it like some posters. I enjoy this thread regardless. I do not know what happened Sunday night but I doubt that was what caused it. More likely they expected to let Butch go and Fulmer reasoned Currie into letting him finish the season which in retrospect may not be a terrible thing.

I am stoked however to have just been promised a seat at the Meet and Greet and press conference regardless of who they hire so BOOM on that!

Congrats on the seat. I’m sure it will be a blast to be there when they trot out Larry Fedora.

I agree with this for the most part. The issue I have is that Currie hasn't done anything to warrant blind faith in him yet, and Florida's swift firing makes him look a bit inept.

I guess the flip side is that he hasn't given us a reason not to trust him. He did say he's the kind of guy who will take the heat from boosters and fans if it's in the best interest of the program. Waiting to fire butch and name a replacement may be in our best interest depending on what's going on behind the scenes.

It's all a matter of how you look at it. I'm not sure I agree with Florida's firing making him look inept. The problem many of us make is judging him solely by what we can see from the outside.

Be patient and then judge the final product.

Yeah I got that email. My understanding is that they decided not to contract out facilities management (maintenance, etc). Had they done this, some University employees would have lost their jobs I guess. Not sure what it has to do with football though.

It might be done..passing up a financial savings because you don't need it..a Different meeting?

Still catching up..hell Gruden may be hired and I'm mising it

Why? I’m intrigued. I also know crap about betting lol. :dance2:

The odds everyone has been talking about that had Gruden at +10000, then dropped to +800, +650 and +250 were from a prop bet on BetOnline. That prop bet has been taken down and replaced with one for Florida's HC.

So they are no longer taking bets on Tennessee's Head Coach.

This could mean a number of things... But it's odd they took it down before Butch has even been fired. One stipulation of the bet was that if Butch was retained, all bets would result in "no action" (meaning you get your money back). So thinking Butch might stay would be no reason to take it down.

This tells me that Beaver has an agenda but there is no "Done Deal".

Yep. I admittedly got caught up in his guarantees and confidence for a while. You want to believe when they're telling you exactly what you want to hear. I have no idea what to think about all of this anymore, to be honest.

This guy is certifiable. I have tried to say it nicely but I will say it plainly now, no pun intended.

STOP LISTENING TO MIT BEAVER.

I cannot say everything I want to but I am <1% at this point Gruden will be our next coach as badly as I would love to see it happen. There is a straight up troll convention going on in this thread.

Unless Vegas knows something we don't. Which they usually do...

Pretty valid point that I already realized. However, since Gruden was openly saying he might coach again, it seems to me that if he was interested in a college job such as UT, then he wouldn't say what he was quoted as saying. Then again, he could've just been saying that jokingly, without meaning he has no interest in college coaching.

Btw, not trolling at all. I hope UT gets a really good coach this time. It would be intetesting and fun to have Gruden in the SEC at UT. I just don't think it's likely to happen.

I knew that was not a troll, I have posted with you before, been a long time ago as I don't post as much now...

Thanks for the response

Beaver is a complete fraud, punk and clown. Epic troll job though so you can't discredit him for that.

Jimmy is right... 0% change Gruden is our next coach.

Thanks! I just saw SEC Mike post something about this and thinks Gruden took the job....of course, it’s the twitter-verse, so take ifwiw.
