A member of the BOT whom I have a business relationship with stated the following. He never said the name Gruden, but did say the name Patterson in reference to the backup plan.
- They said that the AD believes they have their man but there are still a few small obstacles.
- No contract has been officially signed, however an MoU was written and agreed upon on 11/3, and was signed on 11/12 during a meeting in Asheville.
- There are a few small issues that are currently being worked out. These issues have less to do with UT, and more to do with the coach in question.
- The coach has certain expectations for his staff and if he can't meet them then the AD feels like he will back out. This seems to be a major concern.
- BOT member said there is one issue regarding his contract but wouldn't go into detail and I didn't push. They made it seem like it's a recent development in the past 1-2 days.
- I asked and they said they think 2 assistants are being kept by the new coach.
- If anything falls through with this coach then the AD will pursue Patterson.
- They said Currie met with Patterson face to face recently and "it was positive".
You guys really want Gruden bad, May I ask why? I like Chucky being a Bucs fan and all and think he can develop QB's but I don't think his offense would work well at the College level it is extremely complex. Not to mention he has been out of coaching for almost a decade.

You must turn in your VFL card, and spend a week in the Mullen thread.
In the Mullen thread you will be forced to allow Mike Griffith to give you a back rub as Justin Bieber plays in the background..
