All I can say is that the Gruden saga didn't start here. The person that did is saying 100% done. This all began a month ago. Springbok will back me up on that.

I'm only referring to this site. I've been on this thread from the get go. All the posters that gave any info, say it's not a done deal, over and over.

The prevailing sentiment that I've heard is it was a combination of dislike of Hamilton as an AD and dislike of the hires of Kiffin/Dooley.

Donations and attendance aren't compulsory. They won't donate if they don't approve of the state of the program... same as attendance in the stands.

I looked up figures and our AD revenue has dropped almost $15,000,000 since Dooley got here. And those were Kiffin numbers... and he was also polarizing in terms of fan/booster support.

Gruden would be an absolutely galvanizing hire for UT. I wouldn't be surprised if revenues would jump by $20-25mil which would be in line with what Bama saw when Saban was hired.

So if the boosters have the influence and they didnt like Hamilton, why didnt they just use their influence to get Hamilton fired and bing in the coach they wanted instead of Kiffin and Dooley.

I'm sure Gruden would be galvanizing, but he would have been galvanizing in 2008 and 2009 as well.

"deal has been reached" sounds like done deal to me.

Got the final confirmation needed. I am placing a ban bet with myself that Gruden is the next head coach. The deal has been reached. Terms agreed upon, and the announcement will be made after Dooley is fired. Tennessee football is back.

Y'all think this shlt is crazy and divided now?

Given our history we'll probably go down to Columbia and win the damn game...this place will look like a scene from 300.

I admit that I do root for chaos from time to time just to watch what happens next, but I DO NOT want to see that.

I've actually been visiting this site since 2006, but I dont visit often and I forgot my username so I created a new account.

Funny thing is that I dont remember any posters calling their shots about a Kiffin hire or a Dooley hire.

They were all posting the same stuff as today about Gruden or Sanders, or Smith, or some other guy with distant connections to UT that they wish would get hired.

That is just it man, his biggest win will be against a South Carolina team that is highly overrated and coming off of two curb stompings. Not that impressive.

LSU definitely didnt curb stomp SCar they lost by 2. Sc was playing their 3rd straight top 10in team and 2ndI on the RD. They did Curb Stomp GA though. Turnovers killed SC in the Florida game. When u outgain a team 191-183 in total yards and lose 44-11 then you had problems holding onto the ball. We will be lucky to not get beat ny 30 Sat.

Nope. "All posters that gave any info say it's not a done deal".

OCI gave info.

Your post was incorrect.

Next.

I've never seen a thread like this. I have to skip pages on mobile just to keep up. Insane. Hope we get chucky, if not the meltdown will truly be epic. GBO
