Cheek freeing up 6 million a year isn't going to get Gruden if he wants 5 mill a year and 4 mill for assistants.

5 mill + 4mill = 9mill a year

Oh Good God..He will not be paid out of that money. That is AD department which means its not just football.
 
Been lurking on here for months and really appreciate all the info. that's been put out there by Boro, Jay, OV, SBV and others (you know who you are). Can't wait to see how this all plays out in the media and on VN. There's gonna be a lot of crow to be eaten!

Long time lurking Grudenite checking in for the first time. :hi:

Welcome.

Dale Jones was a man at UT. I am a connoisseur of great defensive players. It was my "responsibility" for 15 years.
 
Arky AD probably did the right thing to publicly throw a ton of money at the biggest name out there. Even if Gruden turns it down he can maintain that he did what he could with a serious offer and then get down to the business of finding a solid coach. I'll give their AD credit for not being scared to make a move.

Most reasonable thing I have heard from a hog fan.
 
Heard that he has.....

Edit: nothing solid

Sorry if I misled. Wasn't intentional.

I heard the same, but who knows. Fwiw, I never have called bs on you guys. As a businessman, I just thought there were too many factors involved and didn't think it could happen. Can't believe some obstacles have been overcome and haven't seen university and athletic dept support for the program like this in 20 years.

6 million can cover his base salary. This too me is one of the biggest moves we could make. It only signals a huge hire. The money that gets reciprocated and allocated later could be due to increased revenues due to winning, and new TV contracts. Imagine if Cheek is not here in 3 years? It's guaranteed money that we needed to show that we are dead serious. Everyone needs to back off that we can't push for a big hire.
 
Dave Hart deserves some serious credit for being apart of making this 18mil happen. How much was him I don't know but much of what was said about him should be retracted. Big win for him!!!

I got one of those in person after posting about what I now know was an "outline of terms" proposal early on. I never imagined that person was on VN lol.

Thanks BC, Slice (from the Zone), Jay, et. al. Appreciate all y'all pushing the boundaries and being straight up.
