Ciurrie really wanted to keep him the rest of the season but the epic collapse and team-recruit disentigration forced his hand. Thought and said this last night.

Better days are ahead! Good luck to CBJ and Family wherever the next destination is.

17-year-olds aren't the best in the world at taking the long view, or doing what's good for them.

9 out of 10 might be able to hold it in, but that 10th one is gonna get you every time.

And where this would also back fire is if a recruit doesn't want to go to Tennessee no matter the coach. He has nothing to loose posting it.

First, Gruden wants the job. This is his preferred job. Over all the other jobs. I have this on very good authority. I know. I know. Unnamed sources aren't tolerated. I don't really care.

Second, we believe all the boosters are now rowing in the same direction. The only problem then would be Currie standing in the way which would be career suicide. Unlikely. Although he may be hesitating to pull the butvh trigger because it wasn't his initial plan.

Third, these sorts of transitions are incredibly complex. It is silly to think this is as simple as firing one coach and hiring another. Information must be closely guarded. There is so.much.money at stake here on every side. Currie has a tremendously vested interest in misdirecting and sending out false info. These things happen all the time in the corporate world. The difference is there aren't fans of companies like P&G becoming OCD about reading a chat board over it.

I have a feeling that the real reason lies with Gruden himself, and that is a condition in the agreement.
He sees his acceptance as taking place after this season is over.
He wants things quiet(er) until he is ready... for a number of reasons.
He also probably prefers Jones not being fired during the season.
