false. Under no circumstances do you let money get in the way of this. By all accounts Jon Gruden is a reasonable person and not asking for the moon. You make this deal happen if there is any plausible way. You don't soften on Jon Gruden (no homo?).

link? The guy is arrogant and has an ego the size of the moon. That is my opine and is just as accurate as your accounts.

You are right. We have just endured a 2-14 SEC stretch over two seasons AT TENNESSEE. Let that fact alone sink in for a minute.

And, the stadium is around half full. Just wait until the season tickets continue to dwindle and they don't even sell those seats. Then, the academics will relish the day they ever got one cent out of the AD.

The administration better wise up fast. They have beat up the goose that lays the golden eggs for years and it is on life support. A Golden hire would push it over the edge.

Al Golden hire = UT taking a Golden shower on the fanbase.

This is the bottom line. If what I just heard is true and that DP said gruden's agent has contacted UT. That means we have Gruden. If Peyton Manning can sell UT to Gruden he can most certainly sell Jon Gruden to Dave Hart. IMO this is now a lock. Peyton FTW!!

When did DeerPark say Gruden's agent contacted UT?

That sounds to me like spin. Even if we've reached an agreement behind the scenes, we have to adhere to certain rules for hiring. If we announced Gruden right after the Dooley's firing, then there would be plenty of stink about the program not giving other coaches a chance to even interview. Not sure how long or how many has to be interviewed, to fall within those rules, but we would HAVE to put him aside, as it were, for this "process" to play out...regardless.

Another thought that crosses my mind is, could the boosters and AD not be actually working the negotiation, in order to get Gruden's agent to lower their initial demands?

I do think it would be somewhat irresponsible to just say "What do you want? Just name your price and we'll pay it.". If he is indeed interested, then I think you got to at least appear to not be so desperate.

True. And even if deal is done, think it's in UT's and Hart's best interest to interview other candidates. Just in case the deal falls through, or something catastrophic happens.

He didn't tell you to get out.

He said that nobody was forcing you to be in the thread if you didn't like the conversation.

Again, I think things just got off on the wrong foot this AM.

All is well, and nobody is trashing you. Let's move on.

Agreed. We are all stressed and want the best for this program. I'm just ready for it to be over.

Friday Nov. 30 2012 a presser is confirmed with the hiring of Jon Gruden as head coach at the University of Tennessee. He won't even have to borrow an orange tie like all our other football and basketball hires. Cindy has made sure he keeps orange in his wardrobe.

Honestly?

Nope. Saw it. You were referring to real world people outside of here (a forum)...however...your biggest issue at this time appears to be with those "here" in a "Gruden" thread...and all the Gruden hopeful...like we are crazy or something...nobody sees you disagreeing with the guy at Pilot or Walmart...but everybody here sees you disagreeing with Grudenites in an obviously "Pro Gruden" thread...that could be why you've never seen it anywhere else you would have to leave this thread to see the negagrudes or pro strongs, etc....and I was pointing out if you want to discuss other coaches or the possibility of a non Gruden hire...there is a place for that...not here...not fighting man, just saying, if you cant believe all the Gruden hype, considering where you're trying to disbelieve it, maybe its time to find a new thread to play in...

Again not being argumentative and if this doesnt apply to you then sorry, but for those that it does...and you know who you are trolls...read up...
