Thanks for the info. Guess I'm a Grudenite too

Since multiple people keep asking you detailed questions, I'll assume you have a lot of credibility, and tons more insight than me. Could he have a exception? Sure. But most of the time you're allowed one, maybe two. Any more than that and it starts to become irrelevant since you've already...

Not to be argumentative, but it would seem the whole reason for getting that provision is to keep him from having an "out." Otherwise, he's free to leave at this convenience for personal or professional reasons and it was a waste of space in the extension.

Good point. I guess something must be happening if multiple guys are all verifying the same story. Interesting you brought this up cause I was talking with my buddy today about the draft. Before Geno Smith's mid-season implosion, there was starting to be chatter about him passing Barkley...

Yea, so that takes care of Dooley. But, Gruden is the NFL face of ESPN. With all the joke color "experiments" they've tried (Rush Limbaugh?lol), it's hard to see how it could be so easy to pull him off that show. Again, maybe people here know more than me, but that must be a massive check since...

Wait, you guys are saying this is so far along that boosters have agreed to: 1) pay Dooley's 5mil 2) pay Jon's buyout (which has to be huge since ESPN got that provision) 3) pay Jon a salary of 5+mil I'll admit I'm not in the "UT loop," but yikes that seems like a lot even for an SEC school.

Apart of me thinks it is since ESPN holds his rights for over 20milx5years and would have to go back to scrambling to find a color guy. Dennis Miller, Tony Kornheiser, Rush Limbaugh etc. They struck gold with Jon, hard to imagine they'd let him walk cause Hart asks nicely... However, if you...

Hey 24, did you catch the link I posted on the last page? One of the guys made it seem like it was no biggie, but if the deal included a provision that bars him from leaving, it seems like that would be relevant. Maybe this has already been answered 50 pages ago...

My bad, did someone have info that he never signed it?

Jon Gruden signs five-year extension to stay on MNF - NFL - Sporting News According to this link, his new deal took effect last month and includes a provision that bars him from coaching in the NFL or college. If his deal is the 4.5 mil reported, than one of the UT boosters would be looking...

Alright, I like you again...I've been alil edgy dealing with bama transplants the last few hours. And if this is what the UT fans want, then I'll support it.

Last points before I'm zzzzz Yes, lots of coaches juggle the responsibilities. But, they usually have a little taste of what they're getting into ie. moving around for several jobs is common every few years. The Gruden family has been based in Tampa since '02 and haven't moved. For JG to pick...

I get what you're saying. My point was since he's an established name there are those on here who think he's the #1 applicant in both NFL and college ranks. (I personally disagree by pointing out he's been unemployed awhile and there must be a reason NFL GMs don't want to work with him)...

No. I remember Absentee acting like he was God's gift and trying to set people straight and we both justifiably called him out for it. But, you still kept up the same BS about LK--even though I made it clear he was far from my first choice and I was caught in a bad situation since I really enjoy...

Oh I agree. There's a reason coaches get fired and whatever situation he walks into most likely will present challenges. Just think people are hearing what they want and letting the "group think" run away with this one. But whatev. I'll support whoever they hire.
