I'm still sticking with the OG's! With everything that has happened the last couple of weeks, to me everything is pointing straight toward Gruden!

Are we overstating the 18mil???

Hart has been very vocal about Bama having nearly 100mil in reserves compared to our 2mil. That could be the real reason for the 18mil.

Do you think its possible that a booster could get his money back when Gruden stops coaching our Vols?

You have two posts. You must have missed the latest memo for new posters. You are required to come and say either "He's not coming" or "I'm in a car with him right now headed to K'ville".

Lol, honestly I don't know what to think. Last night I went and read the cliff notes from beginning to end. I must say that it was chilling seeing how accurate some of the predictions were. My gut says Gruden, even though I have no inside information. IT JUST MAKES SENSE imo.

It has been well publicized DH did not want to do anything as long as the team had a chance at a bowl game, which makes perfect sense IMO. Once we were assured of a losing season, I think DH went ahead and announced, mainly to remove all the DD talk (distraction) from the team, so the players could play their last game w/o reading / hearing about DD status every direction they turned. l don't think DH's announcement had squat to do with Gruden or any other coach, I think it was done to end the talk / distraction associated with DD period.

So tens of thousands of seats were left empty and the fanbase left hanging while Dave Hart stuck it out with Dooley? Dave Hart a lone wolf standing up to boosters and empty seats all at the same time? Not buying it.

A sense of calm is beginning to prevail here.

Believe it or not: this open recruiting period is critical to the announcement timeframe.

Open time starts when?

Think for a second!

Hey Doc_Vol, did your friend share any info on who the OC and DC will be?

All I was told at the time was there was talk of retaining Chaney IF the preferred OC couldn't be got. All I have been told sense I originally got this info was a date and I got that early last week

I think alot of people are just guessing the 18 million is to get a coach this year. The 18 million is 6 per year for the next 3 years. It just so happens that we will owe Dools and company 9 million over the next 3 years. 1/2 of the 18 million is gone before they even have it. Yes, UT could spend it all on new coaches if they want to do so. With Hart being as concerned as he is with our reserve, I doubt we are hiring a 10 million dollar a year coaching staff. JMO

AD is a bad job for a lone wolf

Hope so man. I believe there is too much smoke here. I could be dead wrong though. It's happened before.

unless they decide to do it sooner Monday John Gruden will be announced as the next coach of UT.

I want to believe stuff like this but the "insiders" on here are starting to make claims that contradict basic University and state policy.

TN has to interview 3 candidates and have the job posted for 10 days before they can announce a coach, is this not correct? If it is then there is no way they can announce anyone on Monday by the timeline alone.

I've been on board the Gruden train for awhile and want to believe but doubt is creeping in.

This opinion should be considered IMO when discussing the purpose of the 18mil

I bet you are a real joy to be around. Do you fancy yourself as some sort of pied piper that is going to lead everyone away from believing what some have posted in here? I think that opposing viewpoints are a good thing,but you have made yours. Why stick around? I think it might have something to do with being unable to handle other people having some hope or joy in their life. I think it is really sad.

Way too many people over analyzing this.

Here's what you need to know, then you can figure out what you believe:

This process began many weeks ago.
The AD is not driving this process.
Money will not be a limiting factor if they have the right guy on the hook.
Boosters and Trustees will not trust this hire to an AD that has been here for 13 months. Particularly after the Hamilton debacle.
Money for the buyout/hire did not come from the AD.
Current AD personnel will not be allowed to be a hindrance in getting a deal done.

Believe what you want.
