Did y’all see that Caitlyn Jenner is now accusing Bruce Jenner of sexual harassment? Said he groped her parts about 10 years ago. Smh...

SIAP coastal22 on TOS

"To me, it’s clear. Getting info from guys like Sexton who have an agenda. Toeing the company line in order to have access to the official story breaking. Not having access to potential JG staff members (while guys like @Vol_in_CLT does as a non-media friend) because why would those guys talk to UT media. Certainly not having access to Currie’s inner circle nor able to get info from Ergen or Currie directly - again, why would those guys leak info to UT media and start a firestorm. Most boosters outside a very few have been left in the dark too. There is a reason they are guessing. There is a reason why Norvell was a popular name a couple weeks ago (guesses). They have to keep subs here talking and fired up whether they have the story to break (or whether they can divulge what they truly know) or not.

Currie can’t strike out. Yet he hired no search firm which would provide him cover in the event things don’t work out. $300m in stadium renovations following the BOT meeting. Currie telling recruits he has his coach in place by next week (and OVs rescheduled to 12/3). Spends time in Bahamas with the basketball team during a search after a full-court press in Tampa last week on JG. They don’t need a JG smokescreen for Mullen lol. Sexton and Mullen were the boys chasing the pretty girl (UT) and they clearly want a salary bump. Meanwhile, ESPN is a disaster. Layoffs. Axed JG’s guy (Tirico). Asked him to take a major paycut. He wants to coach again if you listen and UT may be able to offer 3x the comp of a reworked ESPN contract (pre endorsements). Tampa or Chicago over Knox? Really? Would Cindy and her family want that at this stage of their life!? No. So he just bought Haslam’s house and joined/approved at Cherokee. Again, to go coach an NFL team? Is studying NCAA recruiting rules, has Blackburn lined up as his COO/right hand guy to keep him in line, has a UT/Fulmer heavy staff lined up...all to go coach NFL? UT acquires a bigtime plane in west TN a couple weeks ago so that a guy like Campbell can use it? No. They have him. He wanted to wait until after the season for an announcement. Maybe sorting out staff (Tee Martin) or endorsement issues. But the misinformation campaign a week ago cooled enough speculation that next week’s announcement will have full shock value. There is a reason JG remained the odds-on favorite in Vegas the past couple weeks despite the media/insiders trying to talk it down. JG has been the one consistent name for weeks. He’s had every opportunity to shoot it down like he did in 2012 and hasn’t; instead, he has unsolicited expressed love for Rocky Top on national radio. He has no reason to troll a city and team he holds close to his heart. He also has no reason to care or worry that we are impatiently awaiting the announcement.

People are over-complicating this, giving into emotion and impatience, failing to use logic, failing to trust what Peyton & Ergen (who was key in opening up Bev and others to spend spend spend) & Currie are focused on, and afraid to set an expectation without a UT media member guiding them to it."

Someone help me out here. For some reason I'm not getting how the Austin Smith info from Hubbs makes it more likely Gruden is the coach. What's the connection/correlation?

Any sitting coach would have his own people. The cherry picking of people with orange blood clearly denotes someone starting from scratch.

Color me wrong but your name has been on my poster short list for many weeks regardless of you being cryptic sometimes. Go ahead and get it off your chest and spill your guts Please....no holding back, Thanks :)

I haven't necessarily been cryptic, even though I am sure this will sound cryptic. I have been consistent with the very limited but what I believe to be very good info that I have. I sound cryptic because i can only add one ingredient to the pie. If i were to tell you all I believe it would be manufactured from a plethora of info that we have all seen plus the danger that hope creates.

Allow me an analogy...My ingredient makes me believe that I maybe know what kind of pie we will have. Could I be wrong? Of course.

For example...Try to find another pie that uses buttermilk rather than a buttermilk pie...i don't know of one. So...If i think I got buttermilk in the recipe I don't believe we are having a pecan pie, a pumpkin pie, or a strawberry pie. I think we are having a buttermilk pie. And, if others believe we are having a buttermilk pie as well then I say, "I think we are having buttermilk pie." Sometimes that is all we can bring. One ingredient. That is what all of us are doing. Piecing something together from what we know/don't know. At the end of the day it could be a pie we have never heard of...or it could be what we all hope it is...a buttermilk pie. Even our news regarding Austin is helpful. But as far as telling you where I got my ingredient. Sorry. No-can-do. That stays on my chest.
