I listened also.
The guy didn’t sound like a wacko.
Knew our situation very well.
He’s the one that broke the Kendrick concussion story.
Here’s his web site.

This post should help to turn things around a bit. Be prepared for the upswing!

I just think the best situation would be for Butch and Currie to come out and say he is resigning at the end of the season. BJ may be waiting to land another job first though too

I heard that Butch thought he would have a chance to land at UNC or Arizona State if they make a change.

He claims his sources are 100%, he did break all the Florida stories and the Brett Kendrick story. He said UT has reached out to him and told him he will never receive press passes lol. He said that Currie has been communicating to Gruden through back channels and the money is right for Gruden. Also said Gruden went back to Currie and said the money is right now here's what I need.

With FOIA laws, how does a public university get away with not allowing access to a legit member of the media?

Trey Wallace says 60-70 % chance Gruden will be the HC at UT next year. Says the money is there and there will never be a better time than now...............

Yes, that was worth repeating!!!!

He is veteran columnist of Memphis paper.
Just now on Finebaum.
Said that Mullen makes the most sense.
Said Grumors are Lochness Monster type and no way it happens.

I agree. That's what makes sense to me also. That's why I said in an earlier post that I think TN has gone back to Gruden and asked him to adjust his time table because of the way the season is playing out. (Worse than anyone had anticipated.)

That makes sense.

I'm not a big Gruden proponent. I think him & Tennessee have too much at risk for him being out of coaching for so long.

But I would be excited to see what Gruden could do. And would applaud the effort by Tennessee at the high risk/ massively high reward a MOTIVATED Gruden could do.

I understand this and can be the case for not announcing Gruden.

But if Gruden is your coach and you have an agreement.

I would see Gruden wanting Butch gone now as a contgent to him coming to Tennessee.

Tennessee is a dumpster fire right now from the top down.
A good coach signed would want that fire put out ASAP

It's not that simple. Gruden could be under other contractual obligations with ESPN or his endorsements. He could also be in agreement with the University, that both parties deem it more suitable/ethical for Butch to finish out (or at least reach some predetermined future date). It could also be as simple as the terms of the MOU (or subsequent) and official contract terms are being negotiated.

It's clearly apparent that many here have never been at the table when high stakes deals and negotiations are being decided.

IMHO, we are right where we need to be. I kindly suggest that if you're into rollercoasters, you book a trip to Orlando and ride your little hearts out. This is not the place for more ups and downs than an AA convention.
