@Vols_News: RT @wesrucker247: Of course Tennessee's talks with Jon Gruden have involved really big numbers. Why do y'all think he's listening?
 
Quick. And dang. Are we getting played or is Larry way off here?

I am a strong Larry believer. I always have been. But he trusts babyvol, and babyvol is saying Gruden. Something doesn't add up. Either he thinks he will believe it until its signed, or that Gruden will leave us at the alter because he has a tendency to do that.

I think honestly its a combination of this being the biggest hire in UT history since Majors, and even then, many fans are questioning if its possible for us to have "good luck". I think the boosters and university are doing what the Dalai Lama said, "Make your own luck".

Using rational thoughts.

Gruden has gauged interest in UT ever since the last opening. He states it would be a great job. Multiple reputable NFL reporters say IF he leaves for college it will be to UT. His family ties are strong to the area. Hart fires Dooley before many expected. Peyton and gang are putting up big numbers to fix football. Cheek commits 18 million for the first 3 years to getting football back. Sounds like we are going for the biggest of hires. Again, why hasn't Gruden publicly denied this, certainly he isn't dumb enough to think we aren't in it, especially when its a fact that Arkansas has offered. There is no way Arkansas has offered and we haven't. Another thing I don't understand is how many would think it would be a so-so hire, especially Cheek. Recruiting runs all in the SEC, Montrell hit that one on the head and has constantly said we are not recruiting where we need to be to win championships. Gruden brings unbelievable coaching experience with a brand to give recruits. I just think when many sit down and lay the pro's and con's of this, it rationally becomes the "right" thing to do. It's a big hire or bust.

I think it could well be the biggest hire in college football history......:clap:
 
Sources tell me that a model for said Franklin statue has been agreed upon. The committee that selected the model are posing in front:

Interesting...I am far from an insider but on Saturday, a friend of mine sent me a DM on twitter saying someone she knows in the Chatt area told her $53M for 8 years, 6.6M

Just wanted to post it because that is close to the numbers that some have thrown out there...
