He [MIT] seems to enjoy a good fight - and he doesn’t lose...

I've always enjoyed a good fight when I'm holding all the cards and my opponent doesn't know it. I think that's where MIT stands. It's a really cool position to be in.

Per Jimmy Hyams twitter account:

Source tells me paperwork & transcripts were submitted to Saugatuck, MI school districts to facilitate transfer of Butch Jones’ kids #Vols

Just checked. Don't see it. Probably Jiminy Cricket Hyams again.

Sorry to everyone for not being around much but there has been A LOT going on. This week has been an utter **** show....on so many levels.

Their has been hesitation internally to let butch go early due to the reputation that UT has gotten in that regard externally to the coaching community...however I think the hand may get forced on this one. And when I mean let go I mean publically let go....lets not mix that up. He is gone no doubt about that but the timing thing is really playing havoc on this whole process make no mistake about that.

I was delivered either an incredible smokescreen yesterday or something that tells me there is trouble in paradise on the gruden front (lets say it went along the lines of currie reached out to xyz coach to gauge interest what are your thoughts... I won't name the coach as I don't want to throw gas on that log) . I can't tell which yet but I have been on the phone all morning with one of the larger boosters (in ktown) discussing our wonderful browns owner who literally could screw up anything he gets involved in so that tells me all I need to know on that front. Now take all of that and couple it with the next important piece of info.

I was then informed early today of a meeting that will take place that I am supposed to attend (can't give timeline out) that will be about a very large donation opportunity for some folks in attendance. Now I can't imagine in my right mind that they would approach anyone about a meeting like that unless there was something extremely positive was going to happen.

I think the band is about the start playing...the biggest question will be is it who we want playing or not.

I'm in for $100 if it helps.

Can you at least tell us if the coach they reached out to is someone you like? Obviously it's not Gruden, but is it someone we wouldn't hate? Not asking for his name, just your opinion on him.

in a way, all of this wheeling and dealing sounds similar (albeit in different ways) to 2 first round picks, 2 second round picks, and 8 million dollars to come be our coach (raiders/bucs trade).

if we're willing to change the entire culture, and go to all of this expense and trouble to do it, why wouldn't he want to coach here?

just a thought.

I guess you’re right, Preacher. I didn’t look at in terms of the NFL picks, but that makes sense, I guess.

It’s just sad, imo, that so much has to be done in order to bring something great to the University. It’s really amazing, if all this is true.

Mr. Beaver,

I kind of suspect that you are in the final parts of data collection on your phd dissertation on something like influence and human behavior. I bet this has been one of the better projects you could have chosen. Thank you for letting us have a chapter.

Will you share it with us when it is published, please?

Thank you,
The Grudenites
