Official Jon Gruden Thread IX

[daj2576]

Pretty much.

The one thing that does concern me is the idea of "privity of contract." That is, I don't know of the mechanism by which the boosters would have the ability to enter into a contract on behalf of the University. A little detail like that concerns me because it would be like me, as an Alumnus, trying to create a binding agreement between the University and someone as I am not an official party of the school and therefore have no ability to bind it to a contract.

That is where this MOU conversation gets a little far fetched for me, unless it was done officially through the University.

I think it is far more likely that a verbal agreement was reached knowing that the University would back it when the time came to pull the proverbial trigger.

Pardon my stupidity, but who is titan bill?

Better question may be "What is a Titan's Bill"... Answer a very annoying man that calls every radion station in Knoxville with his BS opinion..... Yes he gets on my nerves!!:crazy:

 

[Coastypop]

We are hearing Nov 30th or before. Anybody think it could be after that or are we thinking its certainly done by the 30th???

I am still trying to understand Yea4Bray's post saying it will be NEXT week...I don't know if he meant less that 10 days...yeasterday was when he posted it

 

[EZE]

While we are having a slow day, I just wanted to say that when all of this is over, I will NEVER let anybody who ever thought for a second that Gruden may sign for Arkansas live it down.

As petty as it is, I will seize on every opportunity to remind you of it in the harshest terms possible.

You know who you are.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Did you jst say that Gruden saigned with Arkansas?

Dave hart said and I quote " a lot of these types of hires happen in December."


However, I'm fully aware that we have discredited him enough by now that he is on the same level as Jerry from bulls gap when it comes to info about UT athletics tifwiw

 

[Coastypop]

Not high confidence but hearing chatter about possibly as early as Monday after Kentucky. I think it will definitely be that week.

Moday after Kentucky sounds bout right to me :good!:

Feralhog@hogville: "don' shoot the messanger . . I'm hearing that the Gruden rumors are about to be put to bed."

don' shoot the messanger . .

I think you misread contact period starts 25 nov 2012.... Why wait until 30 nov to announce...

Announce on Monday take test get on the road and start recruiting ...... Quiet period starts 16 dec.....followed by dead period 2 weeks....

Get the next coach and staff on board and on road ASAP. Or get it announced. Take advantage of the fact that our competition in the future is tied up in CGs and bowls....

Get in early and late with recruits......it is an advantage

MNF would be the biggest recruiting advantage right out of the gate . So you get started on the 27 and are the talk of the sec championship week . Upstaging both bama and GA . Damn I need to amend my wish list

FYI, for any of the suit and tie wearing Vol fans, I have that tie and it is available at Jos. A. Banks. It is great looking, to be sure. Retails about 75 bones, but holiday sales will have it about 50% off.

Lol he said Urbing Meyer

Titans Bill proving to the world just because you have a northern accent it doesn't make you smart.

An agent can bind the principal. Here the University knew the boosters were negotiating and did nothing to revoke any apprent or actual authority the boosters had to negotiate on the University's behalf.

I don't know all of the facts, but there would be a pretty good case that the University would be on the hook.

Maybe he said Irving. As in Corch Irving Meyers.
