I completely agree with this. And I must admit....the whole $4.9million not being enough for his assistants kind of stumped me. Not every coach on his staff has to be a top shelf NFL assistant to win in college.

I don't think he just wants to win, he wants to be unscored upon. But really, those numbers are unbelievable to me... but then again, as much as the SEC brings in, you'd think since the only people they have on payroll is administration, with players for free(basically), it does seem to be reasonable to have competitive pay.
 
if you noticed Mike Tirico wished Jon Gruden "good luck" and I didn't think much about it until now!! Wonder why he did that? I hope someone DVR'ed it cuz he said it!!

P.S. Don't move this thread cuz I can never find them again lol
 
If rumors about Gruden wanting more money for his assistants are true, why the heck would he let this change his decision to take the job or not? Okay so lets just say for example UT only wants to give Gruden 3 million for assistants but Gruden thinks he needs 5 million to get the guys he wants. Doesn't Gruden know that he could get 1 or 2 of his guys for that price and then some less prominent people to fill in other positions? He could do just as good a job no matter who the heck his assistants are. The very fact that he is head coach means that we will have every major recruit looking at UT as a top choice. And once he has his recruits he will have a top ten program competing for SEC championships, which I am sure is his goal in taking the job. It is just hard for me to believe that Gruden would be happy with the money that UT is offering for him but not take the job because he cant get the "perfect" staff to coach with him.

I completely agree. There are some college coaches who would be a bit cheaper who actually wight do a better job. Would you pay more for Monte Kiffin as a COLLEGE DC, or pay less for Chavis? See what I'm saying

It is amazing to me the lack of knowledge within the inner media circles...

I talked to two local reporters today and they told me they were 100% certain that the following was Hart's short list...

1. Jimbo Fisher
2. Butch Jones
3. Al Golden
4. Larry Fedora
5. Charlie Strong

And two other reporters in the area automatically chimed in and said they agreed...not a one of them has heard a single thing about Gruden...just goes to prove how tightly the info is being kept..
 
So did Slice ever specify what his latest "!!!!!!!!" was about, beyond saying he got more info from his source? Any details?

He wont answer the big IF question a couple of us posters asked him bout his sources saying if dave could get everything together gruden would be UT coach. Wasn't he suppose to be on board for several weeks now??
