Again, there’s the link to the meeting. Items in blue can be clicked for supporting slides, data, etc. This is a massive project. IMO, it will require a rock star coach and team for it to make sense. Given the current state of affairs, it goes without saying that Butch is not that guy. Who is?

Anyone thinking of switching to Dish let me know

Ergen's man.

Ergen is formerly a professional Blackjack & Poker player - pocket aces.

Has hiked (not summitted)... Mt Everest.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Not a command, just a friendly recommendation and request...

I know. I was just kidding sir.

 

[andywilson001]

I thought someone said a few threads back that Haslam was on board with Gruden this time?

 

[allvol]

And yet you have done the same to me, and for some reason I still engage. But it seems to be your pattern to disengage when someone asks a legit question.

Please leave S*D alone. I have some important research for her....

I don't do dish, but is Sling.tv ok?

Just as a rule, I wouldn't judge how much smarter you are than anyone on this site. There are Ivy grads, lawyers, engineers, and I bet even a few rocket scientists. You just sound like a dolt charging against SFD.

Playstation Vue all the way!

 

[andywilson001]

Frank Caliendo does the Gruden face better than Gruden.

 

[Bigworm87]

I agree. I have a really hard time believing this narrative. I think people are reaching for a dramatic story that I don't believe exists. I go back to Albert Haynesworth's tweet. He thanked him for trying to make UT great again. He obviously heard something different than what some folks are stretching to believe.

As in I'll pay the buyout, but I'll have a final say on the coach. That's how it works.

 

[Coastypop]

If he's smart, he'll figure what he did wrong last time and make sure it doesn't happen again!

If not for this factor I would have been lower on my scale .... however when someone looses at something and they have drive like I imagine Ergen to have.... It should only make them more driven the next time to win

Do you really think the haslams picked Butch Jones over gruden?

 

[volgr]

Any truth to the rumor that Gruden will be in town for game Saturday?

 

[VFLnSFD]

Stated he was a MBB consulting type.

The Big Three or MBB refers to the name colloquially given to the world's three largest strategy consulting firms by revenue. McKinsey & Company, Bain & Company, and the Boston Consulting Group (BCG)

FYI...one of UT's most distinguished alums works for mckinsey (sp?). She's a Rhodes scholar and was president of the alumni association during the 2012 debacle.

 

[revjayp]

I’m more interested in the meeting Atlanta Vol is headed to... that has me excited and anxious.

 

[baburntt]

I feel like Gruden XXVII is the one

Completely ineffective.

You should get out more. But this is neither the time nor place, as I said earlier.

 

[baburntt]

Oh and I just realized today there is a Haslam at my work.

Yeah, ok.

I won't be long until we are there. SOON! Gruden to the HILL!

 

[Catbone]

Do you really think the haslams picked Butch Jones over gruden?

He can control little man Butch. Gruden wants more control than Haslam is comfortable with.

That's always been the perception.

 

[BubbaWms]

I missed something. How is it confirmed Beaver is an actual professional?

posted the below to the class about an hour ago !

I am closer to the MBB consulting type than PHD persona. With that said, I am well studied in human behavior dynamics.

 

[Vols_Life]

Well, may have already been considered and asked, so I apologize if so. But as I sit here going through these threads and thoughtful insight, it is obvious some know, some wish they knew, and others are just here. Regardless, which category you fall into, I think the things we all have in common are we are Vols and we all just wonder....


















































Where the hell is Daniela??!!!

 

[volgr]

Do you really think the haslams picked Butch Jones over gruden?

I believe they picked keeping the power structure in place. Coach was distant second. Also, the last effort in 2012 was much more disorganized by boosters and Academic side was a different landscape then.

It could be argued, due to those factors at that time, Haslam had good reason to stick with status quo.
