Official? With a podium and unveiling?

No, IMO.

Being midweek, Im guessing they don't want a massive distraction right before a game. Im thinking Sunday.

Could be what Gruden meant this morning when he said he was being mindful of current coaches. Poor Hoke would have his lap full if Jon Gruden had announced his own coming here. Lolol.

I think you do just that to create excitement on game day. The players are already isolated. No more of a distraction than usual.

Since people asked, I'll repost.

Previous post. Had lunch with the BOT member. He still refused to use the name Gruden today, but for ease of reading I've added it in his statements.

  • They said the AD is cautiously optimistic about the deal getting done, but it is by no means done at this point.
  • MoU has been signed but the contract itself has not.
  • I asked and they said that Jon Gruden was not in Knoxville last night.
  • The issues with the deal getting done still lie primarily on Gruden's side. He said "They're (AD?) in a wait-and-see situation".
  • Gruden is still concerned about his staff, although it is less of a concern today than it was 2 days ago.
  • Money is not the issue with the staff.
  • He began contacting staff over 2 weeks ago to gauge interest, but over the past 48-72hrs he has been working on officially bringing a staff together.
  • Several members of the potential staff have already agreed in principle, but there are some contract issues with 2 potential staff members, as well as a third vacancy.
  • I asked and they backtracked on their previous statement that 2 current staff members are being retained. This time they said they didn't know.
  • They said a face-to-face meeting is happening today in Tampa to hopefully line out a non-staff issue and Currie is going to push to get the contract signed today.
  • They feel like getting the contract signed today is reliant on Gruden feeling comfortable with the staff situation at this point, as well as lining out this other unknown issue.
  • BOT has been told that even if this was to fall apart, the AD plans to have a hire by 11/20.
  • Backup plan is Patterson. Currie has remained in contact with him and had a long conversation with him this past weekend as well as a face-to-face last week.

Refreshing to see a straightforward presentation of information. Whether it's true or not we shall see. Thanks :good!:

I am just afraid these same hangups happened last time, and it will fall through once again.

If you were TCU, would you give permission?

I have no idea.

Maybe he doesn't get along with the AD or the administration?

Edit - maybe it's a courtesy thing between schools. I have never heard of anyone being refused, only that you have to receive permission to do so.

If signed today, when will announcement take place?

Honestly, I'm not sure. They didn't tell me and I'm not sure they know to be honest with you. If I had to guess it would be Sunday/Monday at the earliest.

Is Pill's source (thanks for the info by the way Pill) a few days behind on this info? Because this morning several posters were confident he had already signed. Who's right?
Click to expand...

It's possible, but they did know that Gruden was not here last night and that Currie has a meeting today. It's possible that some info has been kept from them, but I think their info is fairly up-to-date. They made it very clear to me that the only thing that has been signed at this point is a MoU.

Am I the only one that gets lost when someone mentions Charlotte? Why is that significant? He hiring Dale Earnhardt jr as our new head coach or something?

SEC Network Offices in Charlotte too... Not sure why he would be heading there either though. Although it is part of ESPN... :question:
