Looks like I did, in fact, contract AIDS earlier. This post tells me NOTHING new. ugh. all I learned is some stupid story about when you were a teenager and played basketball at the local playground

If you've contracted AIDS, you were already HIV positive.

Ok guys to sum it up..... I don’t even know this site well enough to know if somebody has responded to me, like are there notifications? But I am the absolute very best friend of JJ’s brother. I’m selling myself out on here and hope it doesn’t piss off his step dad, but I’ve done so much in life for my “brother” aka best friend I gave the speech as his best man at his wedding. JJ’s Dad played nfl ball obviously, JJ is a beast. He hasn’t quit on the Vols and never will, he’s working his @ss off to get back but is an emotional kind of teammate, I know the feeling I used to play basketball, got my nose busted open diving for a loose ball in a tie game with 20 seconds left. Nose didn’t stop bleeding for hours, had to watch my team lose. I cried not because of pain of the broken nose, but pain of not being on the court to win the game. Anyways, I know for a fact it is between Kelly and Gruden, odds are on Gruden, but Kelly is the next option. I believe from it all that it will be Gruden, but if not Kelly is Curries choice. But that would require our new chancellor to vouch for him in a “meeting” so to say for a new sec rule that’s been put in place over show causes. So since she is so new upper Admin is afraid to put her in that position. Which only leads to more of a reason to lean towards Gruden, because that would be an uncomfortable meeting for a new chancellor having to vouge for a coach with a chow cause. Anyways I’ll keep lurking around and see if there is some notification for me to know when any of you reply to me, because like I said I don’t know the site that well when it comes to posting.

Thanks for sharing. New info is always appreciated. Someone on volquest just posted not long ago that the Gruden Deal is signed. Said we would know tomorrow. I'm not holding my breathe for what he said. But anyway thank you for the info and here's hoping for Gruden 👍

Alright everyone, my theory. Again I'll start with I AM NOT AN INSIDER. I am everything I said I was when I showed up. I have told zero lied and given zero misinformation intentionally. I have always stated they were assumptions based on crumbs on these threads. It's going to be long too..sorry.

Caveat. These are my words and my property in case I'm right. Not to be sold or redistributed per internet copyright laws that I'm familiar with due to by Aerial Imaging Company and the way it's property works. I will need one of ya'll on here that's a lawyer..possibly. LOL

This all started 5 years ago when Butch was hired. Haslam cut the rest of the boosters off at the knees by agreeing to sign Butch even after him and other candidates were told not to sign. The reason they were told is because Gruden was ready to sign, however, the previous administration refused to let the HC have that much control and authority causing this downward spiral to continue.

Now current day. Those boosters who were railroaded have been planning to replace Butch with Gruden ever since then. They saw the problems before and have worked to try and get the right people into the right positions in the administration to get that passed, and change the culture. Those boosters have currently been working as some of us have predicted for a long time to have things relatively in place for when the time came, and now it's here. They already knew Gruden was interested and have done their homework on what contractually needed to be done to release him from other obligations. Knowing that no one concedes power easily they have orchestrated this media, social media, and even the offshore lines, to bend the way it needs to. In addition to telling the AA they will withhold donations (pocket aces). What happened after the odds dropped after Beaver predicted it. Everyone paid attention because it was predicted. Leaking the 10m dollar contract info, all of it planned. They waged an information campaign. Again as I stated earlier, wars are won with overwhelming firepower and intelligence, but I left off information. This plan was crafted as a shock an awe to release everything in a short time frame to cause immediate backlash to the admin. at UT. There are numerous posters even in here who are planted to drop breadcrumbs. You just have to sort the fact from fiction and that from all the BS'in around. GV keep up your report!

I expect Butch's buyout was being worked or done after USCjr. Everyone knew Butch would lose to Alabama so why put an interim through that. I expect there is friction with the assistant coaches and that led to him staying for KY. Plus a win and they could allow him to continue finding somewhere to go, but the deal was done, he was set to be released at some point in time. As I hear on the radio, the HIRE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE FIRE. So no rush. Hope for the best and plan for the worse. I'm sure he was suppose to be fired Sunday night then one of two things happened. Haslam had cold feet (explained later), or word got around about Kendrick. Remember this was an away game and everyone got home late. It could have taken a while on Sunday before the AD heard about it and called it off. Why call it off? Simple, FIRED WITH CAUSE, no buyout. That puts Jones where he's at now, at the mercy of Currie if it's proven true, or paid with a reduced buyout when he lands at S. AL.

On to our guy, the G man, Gruden. Everyone comes in here and trolls and calls us crazy. What they don't see is what I've already stated. Finish where you started, keep your family happy, and quite possibly he was out of a job at the end of the year. I told my wife Gru is a CPT without a ship. He's a coach, the booth didn't stop that burning desire to coach. IMO he's coming. The people who have been planning this are big $$ people with a lot of time to plan and a lot of resources to throw at it. Plus they hold the Aces, $$$$.

Now why hasn't it happened. As was stated by another poster Haslam either backed out or is causing an issue as of 48hrs ago. Why the big deal with the time? That's probably when he heard Davenport was not going to outsource the University. This ACCEPTANCE would have been financial beneficial to him since he is connected to the company the contract would go to. Who recommended that company? That company is already contracted for state agencies by his brother, the Governor. However, the University has the option to opt out. Corker's name was brought up. Corker was Haslam's roommate in college and not running for reelection, but possibly for the Presidency. It's obvious him and the current one don't get along. If Corker decides to run for President Haslam will be helping them finance the campaign.

So here we are again. The Haslam's are holding things up over either money or now a grudge. I have no idea how PM or the VC in silicon valley play in. Obviously PM is a facilitator and has many things he can offer to help it go through. As far as the KH effect with him, it could be a few things that I can't predict without reading a contract. Scarabbeans....it was said to thank the Beans. Well they're obviously a secret society at UT composed of both Athletes and Academics of the highest regard. So they're your counsel. If they like it they can sell it to both sides and help it go through. The VC, no idea. There are some ways it can help finance the academic side with entrepreneurs and other for profit endeavors.

Again..All my opinion and your tax dollars (been on VN during work).

Well ya'll, hopefully someone comes in and validates or discredits all this. I'm impartial either way. I want Gruden but this has been great for my mind. Hopefully this all happens soon so my wife can have me back. Again, I'm moving to E. TN and can't wait to meet some of ya'll in person. I'll be at the Vandy game thanks to Atlanta Vol so maybe I'll see some of you there. To Vol Nation...I love ya'll, and SOON!


Shameless plug. I'm retiring soon and may need a job.

Well done Hawk. You made a lot of good points.

My one hypothesis to add is on the area you set aside. I believe VC applies to a different company that I will not discuss or name. IMO it is simply an investment vehicle and would just be a cash source for these dealings. I believe Castor connection is not directly about Castor itself but the parent org (Alumni Ventures Group) allowing UT's alumni to form a UT booster slush fund of their own. Again a cash source and a way to solidify the position of several important boosters.

From AVG
Early 2018 Alumni Funds

Early next year, we will be launching two more alumni venture funds. Our targets will be Columbia and Cornell. This will add four more full-time deal professionals to our roster of 18, which will give us one of the larger deal staffs in the US.

That’s why you guys screw off people that know things. Don’t remember all the questions about where is JJ WHY ISNT HE ON THE SIDELINES? Because he’s working his ass off and is too emotional to sit there and watch his team lose because he got injured and cat help them. DOGS WITH THE BIGGEST FIGHT ARE EMOTIONAL ASS HAT

Just saw your memo, you have spent some time building a story from different rumors. You can tell you are military. I won’t comment in the entire piece because there is a lot there but I can assure you I have absolutely nothing to do with the betting lines. I predicted the changes to the odds based on where I knew the Gruden deal was and how information leaks. Simple as that.

Thank you..that was one piece I couldn't believe 100%. Well played. I don't golf but would enjoy a premium beer if you are ever available. I sent you a twitter request if you are inclined.

It’s surprising we have so many 4 star recruits still committed with what is going on. It’s an outright dumpster fire. One would have to believe these kids/parents of the big time recruits have been told what is going on or at least an idea.

Butch Jones being fired is the worst kept secret since kevin spacey coming out as a gay man!
