If UT goes the Gruden route.

Dooley and staff buyout? $8 million?

Grunden and staff salary? $9-10 million?

Buyouts for Gruden's potential staff? I have no clue.

Ideas?

Your first 2 figures look pretty close.

The last one has many variables that would make it a complete guess.

I believe Dooley's buyout is over 3 years, and his assistant's pay is offset by their next job's salary (IE they get a job paying 75% what they made here then we only have to make up the 25%)

a lot less than keeping Dooley.

no idea for actual $$$, but with the right hire UTAD is raking it in starting with the spring game.

You guys are being shortsighted. What all Vol fans need to do is boycott Weigels until they agree to match whatever donation Haslam has to make to secure the new coach. Why not double up?

If that doesn't work I say Dooley has done as much to hurt the local economy as the BP oil spill hurt the gulf states. Shouldn't we qualify for some disaster relief?

It is pennies on the dollar when you realize the money that Gruden will bring to UT ala Saban to Bama. If Hart wants to build up UT and get us into the black ink with 50-100 million the choice is obvious Gruden.

Money. Then i'm going to be pissed. From what it seems Gruden wants to be here just for the certain price. PONY UP UT!

The highest paid college football coach right now is Mack Brown of the Texas Longhorns at 5.19 million a year.
Here's the list:
Phil Steele

Remember, UT athletics is broke.

So just for giggles, say $10 mil a year. Rutgers and Maryland are paying $50 mil just to jump ship from the sinking ACC. Why? They stand to make more in the Big 14.

So we could pay Gruden and staff the same for five years. If it works Neyland is full every Saturday, we sell a gizillion t-shirts and go to BCS bowls that actually provide enough to make a few bucks.

Everybody wins, except the rest of the SEC.

Perspective.
