Question: why are other threads started before this one gets closed out? Is there a certain post count at which a mod closed a thread, or just when someone feels like starting a new one?

If true, then what does Patterson think about being 2nd on the list? Because there's no way he doesn't know UT is hot after Gruden. We snubbed him once before, so why would he be okay being 2nd in line this time? That's what I can't figure out.

Do you think they approached him with, “hey if we don’t get Gruden... you’re the guy” I’m sure he has been told he is our Number 1 and rightly so

I think it is possible that the Boosters brought Gruden to Currie. And Currie said fine, but you close the deal. In the meantime, I will kick the tires on my number one choice.

He tells Patterson to not believe any of the Gruden noise. It just is a group of boosters chasing a UFO.

Pills scenario may fall in line with AV. Pill said Currie wants a contract signed today, AV left us with today being pivotal.

SOON

Previous post. Had lunch with the BOT member. He still refused to use the name Gruden today, but for ease of reading I've added it in his statements.

  • They said the AD is cautiously optimistic about the deal getting done, but it is by no means done at this point.
  • MoU has been signed but the contract itself has not.
  • I asked and they said that Jon Gruden was not in Knoxville last night.
  • The issues with the deal getting done still lie primarily on Gruden's side. He said "They're (AD?) in a wait-and-see situation".
  • Gruden is still concerned about his staff, although it is less of a concern today than it was 2 days ago.
  • Money is not the issue with the staff.
  • He began contacting staff over 2 weeks ago to gauge interest, but over the past 48-72hrs he has been working on officially bringing a staff together.
  • Several members of the potential staff have already agreed in principle, but there are some contract issues with 2 potential staff members, as well as a third vacancy.
  • I asked and they backtracked on their previous statement that 2 current staff members are being retained. This time they said they didn't know.
  • They said a face-to-face meeting is happening today in Tampa to hopefully line out a non-staff issue and Currie is going to push to get the contract signed today.
  • They feel like getting the contract signed today is reliant on Gruden feeling comfortable with the staff situation at this point, as well as lining out this other unknown issue.
  • BOT has been told that even if this was to fall apart, the AD plans to have a hire by 11/20.
  • Backup plan is Patterson. Currie has remained in contact with him and had a long conversation with him this past weekend as well as a face-to-face last week.

It kills me to try to keep up with different threads. They just want to compete for the chance to be on the first page, but conversation essentially dies for 20 minutes.

I think it's just when someone feels like it.

I've seen a new one started as early as the 6,800th post on the old thread (which means there are at least 200 more posts available, right?).

I actually think people sometimes race each other to be the one to start the new thread, weird as that sounds. :)

Good for Currie to push for a signed contract. At some point, you are either in or you're not.

My only problem with this entire scenario is how could Currie be talking to and have a face to face with Patterson while he is still a sitting coach?
