All I will say is this, I had a couple of drinks with my good friend tonight. I called him up and he told me to meet him for drinks after dinner. We chatted about life and our kids lives etc, but I also asked about Gruden. I can confirm 100% that Gruden has not signed yet, has been offered, and was in Knoxville within the last 48 hours. My friend is a very well respected person here in Knoxville. If I had to say, he would be in the top 25 of donors.
Before I think I stated I was at 35% and even 65%, but after talking to him tonight, Im at 95% just because it isnt done yet.
He did elloborate on how the AD and the donors at on the same page and they are all in on Gruden. Signs point to thats its a done deal, but there isnt a Head Coach opening. I can also confirm that Butch will for sure be gone next season andbthe timetable that he understood was Vandy week.
He also said that with recent happenings, that we should expect more to leak out over the next 72 hours that will have local media talking about it. Apparently there was some loose ends that werent all the way secure and some info was leaked to people that couldnt keep their mouths shut is what he said.
