I just don't believe Peyton would give the athletic dept. a **** ton of money unless he knows who the new hire is and has taken part in conversations concerning the new hire. I think it is done. It seems to me the papers have been signed and the athletic department has been working on financial matters. Why haven't we heard anything at all? This has been the weirdest coaching search I have seen at UT. We have literally heard nothing of relevance from the beginning. If we were interviewing coaches then it would leak out at some point. If it were done with Gruden ESPN, Gruden's agent, or Gruden would have already stated it. Think about it, do you think ESPN would prefer to stay silent on this matter if they knew he was staying on MNF? No, ESPN would prefer to dispel those rumors quickly.
And I get mad at people who aren't insiders that say the deal is done with 100% certainty.
The crow lands in the east, while the great prize settles in the west.
All will become clear before the new work week begins.
Peyton obliviously loves his university. It's very easy to see him supporting tenn by giving a large sum of money to get things fixed trusting Dave Hart and this in control without his knowledge of who the hire is especially since hart has made it clear that Bama has nearly 100mil in reserves and we have less than 2.
The esteemed gentlemen from Tennessee are vigorously discussing the potential attributes of retaining the talents of a J Gruden from Tampa.
And the reliability of those that hold secretive knowledge of said hire.
How's bout you?
Smokey, it is that time of the day again. The naysayers, have run everyone off, because they lack common courtesy. The guys that believe get tired of dealing with it and this becomes the Gruden is not coming thread. It is the daily cycle.
If Gruden wasn't going to come here, I think he would of publicly denounced us by now. I think it's premature to expect an announcement before the UK game. It will probably happen within the next 10 days but after saturdays game.
