Did Beav tweet or post something?
 
I wonder what the expectations for the staff would be?

Better give him what he freaking expects is all i know.

Me likes Patterson as an runner up

When I was talking to him I took it more as he had certain expectations of how good of a staff he could form. If he couldn't pull the caliber of talent he wanted from other schools, then he would back away from the deal.

This is the one that had worried me. if the guys he contacts don't want to come for whatever reason, would he back out?

I feel like he knows who he wants and theybhave told him what it would take for them to come, and it isnt a matter of pleasing him now but pleasing his assistants.

Just sign the blank check.

A member of the BOT whom I have a business relationship with stated the following. He never said the name Gruden, but did say the name Patterson in reference to the backup plan.

  • They said that the AD believes they have their man but there are still a few small obstacles.
  • No contract has been officially signed, however an MoU was written and agreed upon on 11/3, and was signed on 11/12 during a meeting in Asheville.
  • There are a few small issues that are currently being worked out. These issues have less to do with UT, and more to do with the coach in question.
  • The coach has certain expectations for his staff and if he can't meet them then the AD feels like he will back out. This seems to be a major concern.
  • BOT member said there is one issue regarding his contract but wouldn't go into detail and I didn't push. They made it seem like it's a recent development in the past 1-2 days.
  • I asked and they said they think 2 assistants are being kept by the new coach.
  • If anything falls through with this coach then the AD will pursue Patterson.
  • They said Currie met with Patterson face to face recently and "it was positive".

Sounds like there is some major work to be completed on that agreement. You would have thought those things would have been worked out before it got to this level.

Haven’t been able to log back in, got a call earlier. Gruden is on campus. May just be visiting his son, but he made an appearance at football complex.
