I'm starting to agree because he won't tell me if he is from chattanooga.

He can be from Hamilton County. Don’t really care. The money that will buy out the contract is not from Hamilton County and does not play golf enough, let alone the Honors Course enough, for some scratch MIT, BMW, fresh out of college trust fund kind to know their inner dealings.

Sorry snowflake

This. We know enough about Currie thus far (coaching changes and Lady Vols name) to know that he runs a tight ship. We know that he has apparently made his peace with Coach Fulmer. We know that he did not give CBJ an extension. We know that Peyton is a major player in UT Athletics now. We know that Jon Gruden was in Knoxville last weekend, and depending on which historical interview you choose to hang your hat on, he either is or is not interested in the UT job. That much, we know.

The rest, and you can claim to be golf buddies, bridge partners, church members, butt buddies, psychic channelers, fishing pals, Facebook friends, septic tank pumpers, or whatever that qualifies you as an "insider"...is pure, unadulterated speculation, unsubstantiated rumors, wishful thinking, and/or outright bulls**t. Throw enough crap out there, and some of it will probably be close enough to the truth for you to stick out your chest and claim you "knew it from the start". While there might be some here who are connected to the AD, or have a connection to someone who is, it borders on childish ignorance to actually believe that you, me, Wes Rucker, or some guy who went to Kindergarten with Peyton Manning really know what's taking place behind closed doors. Wake up, VN...you're being played, and badly, by people who have nothing better to do than come here and stir up the natives.

Negotiations that are "really close" to a deal don't break down that quick unless you're dealing with Iran or North Korea, in which case the negotiations were nothing more than a stalling tactic from the beginning. So I don't buy that part either.

I have to believe that if Jon Gruden was never a serious candidate for the job, he would have said something by now to defuse the whole circus. Safe to say he knows what's going on around here. But he hasn't, so...maybe he is the top target. If he is, and he really wants the job...and Currie and the folks who are going to have to write the checks really want him, then it will get done. Simple as that.

Good Lord, it's like the Seal Exhibit at SeaWorld. A thousand hungry mouths climbing all over one another, honking for someone, anyone, to throw them a damn fish.

(deep breath) So...Go Vols.

I am inclined to believe information is highly controlled. It is very possible a lot of info raced into the social media market, and it needed to be harnessed a bit.

It makes sense to me, but I have orange shaded glasses on.

I believe that not many know much and that the internet has created a hunger for instant information when these things take time.

That said, Butch is done.

Soon.

Agreed. We live in a Amazon prime society. Got to have everything right now. Info included and some may have surfaced prematurely and it got nipped in the bud.

You are going wrong right here. Currie can't speak out about candidates -real or imaginary- as long as Butch is employed.

I would say he is let go at the end of the season. I think UT is making a mistake but I just don't believe UT has the next coach locked up and I don't believe the powers that be are thrilled about spending the kind of money it is going to take to get rid of Jones and hire a new staff

I am thinking back to what Boro said when this whole thing was getting started. That there would be misinformation and that to take it easy that he didn't expect much to happen or come out for a couple of weeks. That there would be highs and lows. That was about a week ago if I am correct. I have no doubt the Boro and DTO have legit connections. I hope DTO is getting the misinformation and I all I have seen Boro post is he hasn't heard anything out of his source. Let's just hope that this is just everything being all SMOKESCREENEY!!! LOL!!!! SOON!!!! I STILL BELIEVE!!!! GBO!!!! VFL!!!!!
