FYI long post incoming:

I had no idea before this coaching search how many people I knew from mutual friends or family friends. Now I’m from chattanooga, born and raised and becoming more active in the community as I’ve gotten older. There truly is a movement here in chattanooga of boosters that were once low level who are now moving to mid tier. I had no idea how much money was around here and many of them congregate at the Honors and local political gatherings and are involved in a multiple businesses as investors or board members.

1. Heard from another family friend today that Hullco who is close to fulmer is pushing for Gruden.
2. Barry large who sold a logistics company is valued anywhere from 50-100 million and he and his family bleed orange. I’ve now heard he’s pushing Gruden and is working with other boosters to make sure this deal doesn’t fall through.
3. My super close family friend who works with the Luptons said they are still pushing for Gruden and thinks it’s happening. Actually he doesn’t seem in the least bit worried which makes me even more confident.

All 3 of these people know one other and that’s no coincidence. Two of these men know Peyton and have even golfed with him at the honors a time or two.

I’m not an insider but I’ve been investigating and reaching out to friends and getting anyone to talk that’s willing and if not I keep trying. Luckily several of these convos over the last few weeks have been run ins so it’s more difficult to lie or ignore someone when it’s in person compared to the phone or texting.

With all that I’ve pieced together on top of what message board insiders are saying across the board I think all the information which has been a few weeks behind is now starting to come to light. (I believe one poster confirmed this before) I did ask one of my contacts about Gruden and if there was any truth about wanting to be respectful about a coach who is currently not fired. He responded that’s why there has been a lot of smoke bc Gruden does NOT want to be viewed or portrayed as a guy who’s trying to remove a sitting coach.

One told me the smart money placed bets weeks ago. That seems to be true as well. I wish I had listened a month ago. Anyways hope we can have a VN get together and celebrate once this is over!

Tony B is reporting that CBJ is going to Boosters saying he will fire all his assistant coaches if they give him another year and don’t fire him. Tony B also reporting that CBJ is telling the players they are trying to hire Gruden underneath him while he’s still coaching. CBJ if this it true is trying to play his on players against the school, I don’t like this at all In fact it pisses me off. If CBJ is really saying this to the players he is trying to turn players against the school and each other. Again just passing this alone

If that's true about the players then that guy needs to ******* go now. No need to make a toxic situation with a new coach and his players. This man is nothing more than a liar and manipulator.

NO, It's his son Kendal Briles at FAU as Assit. Coach/OC/QB. Kiffin Father Monte Kiffin is on staff too as a defense consultant. Pretty good staff Kiffin built up at a small school.

He has built quite a staff, but I highly doubt they stay at a small school for very much longer.

Coasty I think tony either doesnt know about Gruden or he is hiding it bigtime, Swain on the other hand is just the opp. Swain said he called Tony yesterday and talk to him bout several things so maybe swain let him in on some things take that with a grain of salt.

Did Swain talk about Gruden today?

Wasn't this the South Pit coach and he was going to be the liaison between JG and TN high school coaches?

When discussing the Mays decommit with Mr. SFD last night, we were wondering if Gruden might be wanting a bunch of kids to decommit. That way he gets to go pick his own instead of dealing with all the offers that have already been made.

Do me a favor, thank Mr. SFD for sharing you with us for the time being.

Exactly. I feel like were getting Gruden. 100%. Why? I don't know. Maybe because the timing is right and everything is pointing to him returning to coaching. Also, I like to believe what the insiders are saying. Not because I believe them whole heartedly but it all kinda adds up and makes sense.

Yes, for the most part. For me, Gruden is the prize at the end of the plot. I tend to believe the story line of the war of the administration. If the good guys won, we get Gruden ( or elite coach ), if not ... well a lot of boosters and fans give up. Every good conspiracy theory has trails to follow. Every good conspiracy has little proof. This coaching decision will ultimately tell us the "facts".
