Another rumor, but said to be "dead on"-Tony Basilio Show

I like listening to him for the most part, however, he has more looooong pauses than any other show I listen to. Also, he has to repeat himself over and over and over when he thinks he has a good point.

Basilio was totally out of the dark in terms of Da'Rick, but is in the know in terms of the coaching search?

I mean I think this is a good blog and I actually believe a lot of what he is saying. regardless of how credible it is to me it sounds about how things would actually go in this kind of process.

What did TB miss with the da'rick deal?

I wonder how TB's advertisers feel about being in a 15 min long break to start his show.

No kidding. I have turned him on in the car just as he is going to break and he doesn't come back until I arrive at my destination.

It seems to me with Kentucky, Arkansas, Auburn, Georgia Tech and Purdue head jobs opening up, some of our assistants could be picked up to fill assistant positions on other staffs. Wouldn't this force the admin to show their hand?

Good stuff. To me, the biggest indication that Gruden is considering coming here is the fact that he hasn't squashed all the speculation going around. If it wasn't a possibility, then he would've come out and said so by now.

This does not actually make any sense. Gruden has no reason to squash the rumors. To what end? It does not hurt his current employment for these rumors to exist. Actually, if he is considering coaching again in the NFL (or college) then the rumors help more than they hurt.

I've heard this referenced a few times, but I wasn't on any message boards until Kiffin left so I don't get it. What's up with Kiffin and his lexus?

From what I remember, the rumor goes that he had a loner Lexus from a Knoxville dealership and crashed it one night with some coeds and under the influence.

It's most likely why they aren't, if they announce fired before seasons end, everyone may jump ship...

I thought active coaches couldn't be contacted until after the season. Obviously there would be stuff going on through some back channels (which I'm sure is already happening), but I don't see how a current coach would be contractually allowed to leave early.

Tony has a good show but he could say something like "Big News out of Knoxville today and by the way come try a hardees thick burger today. O yeah big news out of knoxville today." Pause pause pause.

Maybe in the NFL. I don't think that applies to NCAA. Remember when Petrino was in talks with Auburn around this time of year when Tubberville was still there. It was in 05 or 06 when Petrino was still at Louisville. The only thing that came out of it was some bad PR for Auburn.

Sounds genuine, Hiring a HC for this kind of $ in the 6-7 million range will be done correctly and with every i dotted and every t crossed. I'm at ease knownig we are going to have a major upgrade in the HC....can't wait until it's offical....these rumors and anticipation are killing me
and everone else that cares about the future of UT football
GO VOLS
THERE IS HOPE!

Basically this is what was said.

Here's the truth. Dooley is done. This job will be Gruden's job to turn down when he gets an offer from UT. And I believe the offer will be in the 6-7 million dollars per year range. But here's where it gets tricky. Gruden won't get an offer until UT's point people in this search get EVERY INDICATION from Gruden that he won't say no. They simply won't give Gruden a chance to say no. And talking with some folks over the weekend, this is exactly the reason why Dooley is still there and didn't get fired after the Bama game. Here's how this thing is working. The major boosters are handling this. Hart has very little input in it. They've told him to sit tight and when it's time to work the deal, they’ll bring him in. But they are not leaving the heavy lifting to him. That's why Jimmy Hyams can say over the weekend several times that Hart hasn't talked with anybody from Gruden's camp. Because he hasn't and he won't. That is until it's time to make a deal. I understand Dave Hart is upset about me reporting this stuff but I have to do my job.

6-7 million??? What happened to $5.4 that was quoted in the first thread that got this ball rolling? Man, I want Gruden as much as the next guy (no homo) but $7 million?
