Sooo
. what's the countdown to the date Tennessee can afford Auburn's buyout clause??
I kid (maybe).
Bruce took the opportunity that was a guarantee in front of him. With Boston College opening up, perhaps he regrets it. The truth is, nobody at Tennessee should be mad at anyone in the administration about this. Bruce made this choice. Bruce accepted the offer before Tennessee's season was over. Bruce took himself off our list.
In a couple of days, years, whatever, I imagine that Tennessee will try to court Bruce again, now that the risk of hiring a show-clause coach has been removed by the University who staffs the former NCAA investigators (30% of this thread should feel silly about their arguments).
I don't think Bruce will say yes then. I think he is ready to close his chapter. And for each and every Vol fan, what a great chapter it was.
