Why do they want "Gruden is not coming" news on the airways? All that does is piss off fans. It's illogical for them to do that, which is why I'm refuting your theory. The AD doesn't like that station. It's illogical for them to leak information to Ainge, creating the image that he has "sources" thus creating more fanbase and intrigue in the show. When, in fact, he is the most popular talk show host on the biggest rival radio group with the official flagship station of the University of Tennessee.

I did not say he was the ONLY one they leak information to.... After today Dooley is a forgone issue, but until the loss they were buying time, they did not want to give the appearance that they are nego with a new coach while trying to keep Dooley

Think Ark... JMHO, of course you may choose to disagree, as that is certainly your right... Not sure about the most popular host theory.... would have to see his ratings to know that.... I don't like him but Tony B has a large following

JG is not likely here, but they are going to go for him. He is asking 7 million. I'm sure they will give it another look.

Heck if that's the case then go for it. Haslam,Manning and boosters can help. Could you realize how many would donate to get season tix. 20,000 tix not sold lately each game would pay for 7 million if we got over 100,000 fans to come each game next season.

I understand what you're saying, and like you to me, I respect your opinion, I just don't see how giving Ainge that information does what you're suggesting it does. Them recognizing it and feeding Ainge information, if that's what has happened, which I don't think you or I know if that's true or false, doesn't do anything other than the opposite of the intentions of that. It makes more sense for the AD to feed him information that "x" wont happen unless "y" happens.

On the subject of Tony B and Ainge, I like both guys. I met them both at the Big Orange Tailgate at the Chik Fil A kickoff game, and they're both awesome guys. I don't like Basilio's radio show, but he was a class act to talk to, and was really sunshine pumpin' that day. Ainge is just a laid back guy as well, and if he weren't 6'5 and built, you'd never think he played here.
