Another gem from another source:
I have been telling you guys for years that Gruden a was done deal the last time until Haslams put their greasy a**** hands in the punch bowl. This is exactly what they did the last time and for exactly the same reasons- control control control.

This is untrue. Haslam aided the quest for Gruden in 2012. His resources were used to court Gruden then, he obviously approved. The academic side wasn't willing to give Gruden the control he wanted. It wasn't the Haslam's.

Interesting point is I was finally called back by one of my AD contacts around 1:00 today to firm up my financial commitment for stadium renovations.

Did you replay back, my commitment is Grude so long as your commitment to winning is Grude.

Actually I think he said even if it was 100% done you wouldn't hear it from him... Of course I mis-remember things as I get older...

That is exactly what he said. Even if I find out its 100% done, you won't here it from me. They should be the ones to do so.

Gruden then why wouldn’t he be again and now

Some info I found, this is not my info. I asked before I posted. I not sure about accuracy, but the guy always seems to know what he talking about. PLEASE TIFWIW.

Well...the s*** will soon hit the fan. I just got a message that confirms the battle lines are drawn...Haslem/Currie vs Ergen/AA. This will be interesting for sure. Ergen is pro Gruden...Haslem is against Gruden because he will lose power. Haslem bull rushed Currie so he would keep power. Ergen has put one h*** of a deal in place for A A as well as bringing in Gruden. Big Jim is hanging in for all he is worth. He wants to keep Butch till year end. I know most feel Bev is the hang up but I trust what I was told. She is on board cause she gets tons of money for academics and could care less about athletics. I got a message about an hour ago that this has come to a head and we will know soon what direction UT will go. Ergen is pro Vols and is trying like h*** to change the s*** show we all are witnessing. It's the old guard that's killing UT athletics. I feel very confident in putting this out there. I know my source better than anyone in this world. He is closer to me that my own brother. If Ergen wins I feel we will get Gruden...Haslem wins...we get coach Google his name.

This is where people find all of this hard to swallow, including me. Obviously everyone wants it to be true, but..it's a hard sell.

I don't find the information hard to swallow, I believe it to be true.... What I do find hard to swallow is that Ergen and Company will be able to pull it off.... I am taking a wait and see on that!

40% chance they do

I’m guessing Hyams isn’t getting any info from the AD and is buying time.

I feel the exact opposite, he's getting info directly from the AD and is running their narrative. It's hard to doubt it at this point. He's maintained each time Butch was supposedly done that his sources were telling him Butch would continue coaching. Each time he's been right.

That quote is from a booster that has given many dollars to UT. I do know that for a fact, believe what you want, it makes no different to me.

You guys are so hopelessly attached to this thread you've inserted your own catheters and feeding tubes but you've forgotten about the proper hygiene aspect.

For those of us of a certain age in assisted living facilities, catheters are very important, albeit sometimes painful, necessities of senior living.

Proper insertion procedure must be the individuals resilient responsibity for a complimentary pissing process.(Butchism)

Y’all don’t need to worry about me going anywhere. I will let you know what I can. The only things I will not post are things I have been expressly asked not to repeat or things that would hurt our football program. I think for the most part all of in here are on the same team. Sometimes people have a need to pop off as a defense mechanism. Honestly who can blame them I certainly don’t. We have all suffered with the garbage that has transpired with our program. Interesting point is I was finally called back by one of my AD contacts around 1:00 today to firm up my financial commitment for stadium renovations. If you haven’t seen the plans for the South end zone you should check it out. It is really nice.

I’m digging my heels in. I’m not giving another dime until I see the new coach. Screw then. They’ve been screwing us.
