UT has raised $50M in private gifts for the $340M stadium reno. The Haslams donated $30M-- above and beyond their academic donations and contributions to the school of business. So no one's pulling off a coup to oust the Haslams, unless they have about $100M to spare.

I think it’s odd that so many fans have turned on the haslam family and Jon Currie because of internet rumors. Maybe one out of 50 of these insiders are accurately describing what has been happening. But suddenly it becomes canon here on the message boards.

Hopefully everyone is not incompetent / out to get us as most on here think.

But I have always been an optimist.

And soon. Grude on.

I just don’t see his hire this way. I will confess his tenure could look like Harbaugh at Michigan where he doesn’t win quite as much as we hope (at least early). But just like Michigan we would be immediately restored to national prominence. I think Gruden would also recruit at a level we haven’t seen since Fulmer in the 1990s. He will also take in money for the university.

Even if his tenure somehow ends without a national title, I’m convinced beyond all doubt it will be an enormous win for our program and will set us up very well long term.

But I also think he would get a title for us...

That in itself poses a problem. Cause if you bring Gruden in and he has seasons like Harbaugh, are Tn fans going to start with the #fahrgruden?

If he does come Fans will have to temper expectations a little and come back down to reality. But with that price tag I just don't see fans doing that.

Oh and since we are talking about G, I just got a text from a "friend" of mine that said "Time to unleash the hounds".

Maybe he's reading VN, maybe not. 😂

More tasty Grumors from the Gruden thread

Something went down last night. Pay attention November 12.

Gruden doesn’t want to coach in the NFL.

He’s coming

Why? Nothing is going to happen with Gruden. Literally anything could happen including the official firing of CBJ which IMO will not happen until the end of the season. That was a very open ended rumor. About as open ended as you can get.

“No one is trying to hire Gruden other than Tennessee fans. He got ran out of town in Tampa after winning a Super Bowl with Tony Dungy’s players.”

Said he doesn’t really understand why we are so enamored.

So after the UF/Uga games he was saying he knows for a fact we have contacted Gruden for the job. Then around Bama game he said it would never happen and UT fans were crazy, then not even a week ago he and Laura said it was actually a possibility and could happen. Just saying what certain people wanna hear, can't make up his mind which crowd
