It’s 2012 all over again. According to the insiders last time, Gruden was a full go until Hart and Haslam messed it up. This is why we can’t have nice things. Same song...and this time, same verse.

Easiest to calculate would be treble damages. Multiply actual damages times 3.

In my example with knuck, you would have to figure out what his actual damages are. Knuck quit his job. How much was he making? How much will it cost him to find a new job? Will he make less money at the new job? What about costs of relocating? Add all the actual costs up and multiply by 3 for treble damages.

In your hypothetical talk of treble damages, are you insinuating that anonymous plaintiff "JG" has actual legal recourse for whatever went down? Sure sounds like it.

This whole fiasco is sucking all of my interest in cfb away. The idiotic spoiled children in the NFL have ruined that for me and all this power struggle among boosters ruins cfb for me. It's not about all the good things that used to make cfb fun,it's all about those who have $$$$ and their ability to control things. I know it's not isolated to UT, and that's what makes me sick thinking about it. The game has lost its innocence and for that, I'm quickly losing all interest.

I haven't had any interest in CFB since the GA Tech game.

My opinion and I have no inside sources, I do t give it money and I know no one of importance.

I don't think gruden has even been contacted to tell us no. According to any "source" that is not on a message board curries number one target was shiano. According to all substantiated reports this was the guy we were supposed to get excited about. Multi million dollar deals don't get worked out over night when they are multi year deals.

This being said, why shouldn't we demand they talk to him. Make him so no many times. Alabama did that with saban, they were almost as big a dumpster fire as us when they did. The only difference was they didn't have the utad fighting the fans at the time

At this time it is less about gruden and more about the fans forcing their will on the ad.

Why don’t people in the national media think Tennessee is a premier job in college football?

Money? - #2 in in revenue
Facilities? 102k Neyland, top notch training facilities.
Tradition of Winning? - Top 10 all time wins & Bowls
Fan Base? We packed stadiums for Butch Jones
Recruiting? I mean, even Butch could do it.
Education? - APR at all time high.

Coaching... all we have been missing.

So you’re telling me that coaches don’t want to come here because we haven’t had good coaches? I’m lost here.

If the fans stopped the Schiano hiring there is no reason to stop now. We could have hired a number of good coaches and one great one. But the sick reality is I don't think Currie really interviewed anybody. He hid behind the premise of Gruden and mislead a ton of folks and then went off and got Schiano. It was his plan all along and it should have gotten him fired when it came out. FIRE CURRIE NOW, who in Haiti is going to respect someone like him running the athletic department. If they don't fire him they need to change the title heading of YR positions to Puppet AD, Puppet President. all wittle PUPPETS!!!! Jimmy's PUPPET HOUSE!!!!!!!!!

I gotcha. Its up for interpretation. Just stating that wasn’t what was stated before someone took that and ran with it.

I just can’t see him getting a phone call and someone saying we had Gruden but so and so botched it making him so discusted he couldn’t and wouldn’t repeat

Again just my theory

What if hypothetically Gruden and UT executed a MOU or other agreement and he turned in his resignation to ESPN and was ending his contracts with his various endorsements??

What if hypothetically Schiano and UT executed a MOU or other agreement and he resigned from OSU??

So then we would be dealing with tortious interference of contract for Gruden agreement. Fraudulent inducement for Schiano and Gruden. Currie and UT AD and Admin could be on the hook for millions and millions of dollars in damages for both Gruden and Schiano. Fraud if proven can give rise to treble damages as pointed out by Exile as well as punitive damages. It is dizzying if you really think about it.

Now I have no idea what if anything was executed but if agreements were executed then this is going to get incredibly ugly and incredibly expensive. The Tennessee football program and Athletic Department would be FUBAR!

The possibilities are enough to make someone sick.
