I am taking this information incredibly seriously. Because you have posted this on an internet message board titled rumor and speculation, I choose to hold you accountable to your declaration of 100%. I am holding you to the highest journalistic standards of integrity, based on the rumor and speculation message board code of conduct. If you are wrong, I will be most upset, and continue to repeatedly call you out on said board. Then I will promptly spiral into depressions and KMS.

You better be right, person on a message board. If you are not, may god have mercy on your soul.

/Sarcasm


When you say "it's 100% done" the fact that it's on a rumor forum becomes irrelevant.
 
How many times did Saban publicly turn down the Bama job?

How many times has Gruden publicly turned down the Tennessee job?

IM STILL IN!!! I BELIEVE!!!

I find it insane to say that Jimmy Cheek is a hold up!!! My God, Gruden will pay his salary! If he was in the way, he would be removed. PERIOD!!!
 
Gman you keep saying since this booster has a box he is spot on. I am close to one that has a private jet, boxes at both football and bb, and courtside seats at Tba. He knows nothing of this. Donors aren't the end all be all. That's the problem with a lot of these sources on here. Some donors want to act like they are in the know when the aren't in reality.

No Bruin I never said because my source has a skybox he is spot on, but I base it on the fact everything he has told me has come to happen.

Based on my information and who it came from....coupled with the information from guys like DTO, Jay, OldVol, and Gman, several of whom I've spoken to, I don't see anything has changed. I believe this could be the latest smokescreen, which I predicted 3 weeks ago.

If I hear something negative from those I talk to, I'll be the first to post it and back off of this. So far I've not gotten any indication to change my mind.

Diversion not unexpected. Unsettling, but not unexpected.
 
Seriously y'all, if you're getting mad at me and still thinking there are 20 insiders on this board, I don't know what to tell you. I have zero hard feelings towards any poster personally, but people don't just have access to information like that. If nobody in the Knoxville media knows anything, then people on this board likely don't either. That's just how I see it. I wanted to believe, and I checked the thread everyday, so obviously I didn't think the chances were 0% but it was always a longshot. The only problem I have is all of them saying 99 or 100%. That's absurd to me.

I don't have a problem with anyone saying something is done "from what they hear" but it sure is a problem when someone says on Friday 100% then says 50% on Monday??... and I am still on the gruden band wagon..

It seems to me Cheek may be the issue... and if so, that is a big hurdle and would make it 50-50 ... the posters may have not known this at the time.. who knows, I am going back and forth



Help ... I am headed to the Cliff
 
Sorry that I was a bit of an arse. I love this program and I'm tired of it being the joke that it's become. It's hard to take ribbing when your hope for it getting out of the gutter gets crushed.

Have faith. Gruden ain't the only good coach. It is obvious that there are some moneymen actually willing to get off their wads now. We just got to get Cheek the bookworm geek out the way.

Thanks to all the guys, who try and give most of us hope of better times and better coaches. If none of its happens ,at least for a few weeks I was excited about the direct of the program.

Regardless if I choose to buy or sell, continue to provide all the information you can.

I'll never forget the first time I bought my first brand new car, I was 18 and just out of Basic Training. My dad went with me to help me find the best deal, I was looking for a certain type of car and had looked all day before finding a Demo model in my price range. My dad was literally pulling me out of the dealership while we was going through the Negotiations. the whole time I was telling my dad, "that's the car I want" and he told me to hush and come. Sure enough the salesman, and finally the manager was chasing us out the door with just a little better deal.

The Bottom line is calm down people, if it was meant to be it will, even if there was a verbal agreement, things happen when it is put on paper and lawyers get involved. and give the insiders a break if they waited for the ink to be dried before coming on here with info this would not be the same place.

I agree he ain't the only good coach.... however he is the only one I can think of that will help us recrruit with and play with LSU, Florida and especially Bama

I hope if he does not come...I am wrong... but don't think so... after living through 11 in a row against Bama just don't want to go back there
 
If Hart and Cheek are standing in the way of this hire then both need to be Fired immediately.
People will laugh but bring Fulmer in at AD. Guarantee he would not let this crap continue.

lol. And the backpedaling begins. VN never disappoints.

You guys have been poo-pooing "sources", but when a big name "source" fits your argument, it's the gospel?

Wow.

No backpedaling at all. If this turns out to be true, I'll admit I was wrong. Let it play out.
