Hey. Is this Al? Al Golden?

Sorry to mess up your family dinner. This is Dave Hart. Tennessee AD. Would you be interested in taking the head coaching position at Tennessee for $8.25 an hour?

No? Well, bummer. Hope your family has a happy Thanksgiving.

:rofl:

Yeah...I have thought that exact same thing!

I remember when the Peyton deal was goin down...

I have direct connections at Coors Brewing Co., and they were saying the entire time...Titans are making this harder but Pat (Bowlen) is goin to not take no for an answer...and in the end, John Elway was the difference.

But I followed both sides and it was clear that Bud Adams made some big boy moves to get Peyton and the scale was tipped by John Elways commitment. Bud Adams didn't have a John Elway to facilitate the deal.

Perhaps parallel to that...Arkansas or anyone else didn't have a Peyton Manning to facilitate their deal!!

Or more importantly...perhaps Cindy Gruden was our John Elway!!

I have never seen a coaching search without an in-person interview. That usually gets out. It got out a year ago when UT interviewed Phil Bennett and Sunseri for the DC job and it got out when Dooley was interviewed. So are you saying they have already interviewed in person?

I'm not trying to bash, just giving my opinion.

State law allows only phone interviews

The only problem I have with what a lot of people are saying is about the last check from Tampa Bay. I understand Tampa Bay wanting a non-compete clause as far as NFL coaching goes but why would they give a rat's patootie if he coached in college. This is the one thing that I have serious concerns about when people use it as a reason that things are changing. It just doesn't compute. I have my fingers crossed and hope he's coming. It's been a fun ride one way or another.

Everybody thought it was bad when tn fans burned mattress's.

Wait till its announced he's coming to Tennessee. Arkansas will burn the state down.

That'll cause $17.28 in damage.

When Haslam sat down with Jon in Cleveland over a month ago, it wasn't to shoot the $hit.

Coffee is for closers. First prize, a Cadillac.

Yep, I believe Dooley had the monopoly on that.

 

[Special Ed]

EXPLAIN to me how the other coaches are to be paid.

Coeds, coeds, coeds.

 

[slobberknocker]

More old timers up in here than I thought..

Been around a long time, my first game at Neyland was in 1958, Chattanooga beat TN.

 

[JayVols]

No need to apologize, but I appreciate it. I listed in an earlier post where I'm hearing things.

What's happening my man?

 

[MWR]

That'll cause $17.28 in damage.

And that's a generous estimate.

 

[bcartervol98]

Dude my wife just looked at me like I am crazy with the outburst that caused LOL

 

[Haphazard Harm]

That'll cause $17.28 in damage.

Where are you getting the extra $6.87? Did they finally clean the place up?

Holy crap. Is that real???

Holy crap. Is that real???

no. i remember when it came out and it was quickly shot down.

 

[captain chaos]

Pulling out all the stops if this is true. Maybe a way to make up for less money, since paying a college coach the numbers they want might be too much. Interesting to say the least.

3% stake is worth 30 million.....say the team appreciates to a worth of 1.5 billion....boom 45 million bucks

 

[JayVols]

easy now jay....

Did I mess up who was posting the rock stuff? Ifso apologies.

When Morris was about to be fired , Tampa owed Gruden 5 million dollars for the 2011 season. His buyout was much more than any of those coaches listed. I'm not sure exactly how much , but one article I read , they had to pay him around 20 million when they fired him. He is still collecting , and I can't blame him for taking every penny they owe him.

Charlie Weis's was an outlandish number. Its near impossible to find out if he is still getting paid or not because ND is a private school though.

The mandatory number of interviews must take place before it can be officially announced. They can be done over the phone. Not a prediction but if that gets taken care of, it might break this weekend.

I am willing to phone one in for the team. Who do I call? I will turn down UT so fast their head will spin!

I know for a fact Phil Bennett and Sal Sunseri were interviewed in person.
