So I thought Gruden would stop getting paid by the Bucs at the end of October- Mid November, but apparently his payments will run out mid December...This is important because Tampa will not pay him those checks if Tennessee announces him as coach, and if he doesn't get the last two checks apparently Gruden would want UT to pay them...TIFWIW

Is Gruden still getting ownership in the Browns or was that another false grumor?

If any of you want Jim Tressel or Bobby Petrino, that's all I need to know.

Al Golden would be successful at UT. He might not be Nick Saban, but he would do good things at UT.

No Thanks. People down here in Miami already want to get rid of him. They see him as a no name up-n-coming coach just like Dooley was and look where that got us. We don't need anymore learn on the jobs!!!!

You're no fun at all. I've tried to mess with you all night and you keep taking the high road. That's really disappointing.


For what it's worth I just don't see how this will get done by Friday. All evidence seems to point to much later if at all. I guess we will see soon enough.

Good post.

Unless today was a smokescreen or we are meeting tomorrow i agree no chance it's happening Friday.

I've believed his info all along. It WOULD be nice to have a little substance to the smiley faces, though. The other guys always come up with something ('got a text from my contact' or 'heard from my source') .... something, anything. My gut tells me he knows something good....
Click to expand...

I agree. I would like a little more substance, but if he has a link to the info in some way, but doesn't want to divulge, I am sure there is a reason.

I just take what he says, process it, and then if it makes sense I will keep it in the old noggin.

Anyone know offhand the current highest paid staff? and how much? I'm just trying to put this figure in perspective

Don't know the highest paid staff but I was reading about Les Miles today and he was making 3.75 million before his raise. Saban makes 5.62 million before bonuses.

Fan bases are idiotic.

Don't listen to them.

Miami fans (lol at that to begin with) also are impatient, and are too dumb to realize their situation.

That's the biggest part of this problem. If Gru falls through, as you say, only Bob Stoops (who isn't coming) would be adequate.

Tennessee could hire a winner like Larry Fedora, and the fanbase will want him burn because the fan base is so enamored with a long shot.

IMO, this is why I think UT HAS to make this deal work.

Selling the product is UT's problem, not the fan base's. If they let this go on, and mismanage the Gruden angle, they have no one to blame but themselves.

Wow. Do you hang out with Bruin?

No. I think he said something about offering Franklin. I'd rather move to the ACC than hire that punk away from our little brother.

I do agree with his point about you sycophants allowing yourselves to get trolled.

I'm leaning more towards Fedora than Golden if this falls through. 12-2 at southern miss. Now 8-4 at UNC. Has a winning record, has recruited in the SEC, has been a great OC.

I'm sorry...since when did signing period end tonight?

And I wonder why Miami won't do anything. The program is about to burn.

Penn State wanted him for a very damn good reason. He can coach.

Miami has never been this low in recruiting, since I have been following it.

As far as the program burning, they still need a coach, and Golden will hopefully be that coach. I'm not impressed by him.

Penn St. had a better record, after being decimated by the NCAA, than Miami did in a weak ACC.

The coach I want least is Butch Jones. He has done nothing but ride Kelly's coat tails. Even at that UC is seriously slipping under his watch. I'm certain that riding Dooley's coat tails won't be as successful for him.

At least Golden has built something. Butch Jones has just managed the decay of two programs built by a great coach.

Whoa dude, that's some serious backtracking. What gives? The last we heard from you was to stay calm, all is good.
