From TOS.. And this sounds plausible

"Gruden did not say no. This spin was put out there by the Gruden side and the AD side because they were not happy that it got out that JG and Boosters had already been informally discussing things before Butch had even been fired. JG likes Butch and he is trying to be as respectful to Butch in this process as he can. He wants to make it clear he did not campaign for this job and he was approached by UT people, not the other way around. JG is a classy guy, he is trying to adhere to an unwritten code of conduct between coaches and friends.

As UT fans we should know about this better than anyone. Fulmer \ Majors ring a bell? JG wants this process to play out in a respectful manner. He never said no, that is complete bullsh!t."

I'm going to be the 5th person to ask this, but what poster on TOS dropped this info?

I just feel like he has his own agenda. He's getting something out of this and I don't think it's just the joy of being able to break the news about Gruden. Makes me wary about The Beav

More from JAV...

"Mr Jim has not been the driver of Gruden to UT. Mr Anderson has been the driving force. Currie has the confidence of those guys and key BOT members. Everyone is on the same page, as far as I know, to get the best HC possible. That has been determined to be Jon Gruden at this point."

My point is that it makes absolutely 0 sense to not tell a VFL like Kevin "hey, no need to let your 5 star son legacy recruit de-commit because something big is being done for the program."

Mays is a huge part of the class and what he's done to recruit others to it, you do what it takes to keep him on board and there's not a single logical reason that Gruden, if he were a done deal, wouldn't see it that way too.

I agree, I do think however that a lot of stuff that may be going on with new hire and butch leaving is very hush hush, and maybe AD doesn't want things getting out.

Getting this hire done is more important than any one recruit or even one recruiting class. If the AD feels the deal would be at risk if information leaks out, they should take every measure to ensure that doesn't happen. There will be plenty of time to win back de-commitments before the early signing period. If Butch is the reason these kids are leaving, Gruden can easily bring them back.

Furthermore, if we believe the narrative, almost 40% of the $ for phase 1 disappears if they buck the Gruden hire.

The $340,000,000 vote was basically a yes to Gruden. All's that's left is to tie up loose ends and make a couple announcements.

All in due time. All in due time.
JMHO IMHO BBQ

Was for a top level coach. Gruden being number 1, but if he turns down they have other great options. Just not an up-and-coming.
