I swear if you copied the posts on this thread from 5 years ago, and pasted them in this one today, it is a carbon copy to the sequence of events the last go around.

I think there is a booster somewhere that is seriously seeking attention with misinformation, and needs to have his testes removed. Just my 2 cents. I was trying to believe.

Lol, West Tennessee here but, like you, proud it's not Memphis.

Although I did commute when I worked a contract in the trauma ICU at the Med (Region One).

I like Memphis. I am urban so that attracts me a little bit. But if you aren't in the ****ty areas it is very beautiful and tons to do. But the med would leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth. I live in Cooper Young right now.

Ok. Story time: for entertainment purposes only....
My father in law is on the Board at Notre Dame.
Back when they were looking for a new coach, we were all on vacation together. My brother in law and myself spent the entire week trying to get him to tell us who their guy was. Our truth serum was golf, wine and scotch. We tried hard. He would not come off the info, no matter what.... we asked him why he wouldn’t tell us. “TRUST”. He said when these things happen only like 5 people know the details. Didn’t want to jeopardize that trust..I forgot what night it was and we were sitting around watching sports on ESPN.
He gets a call. Says, “ok, ummm, let’s do it”, hangs up, smiles, looks at us and goes, “Brian Kelly”. Not a minute later the ticker rolls: “ND hires BK as its coach”.
Point being: only a handful know what’s going on and they are not talking....if they are smart!

We are also members of The Honors and Crooked Stick.
Also, Good friends with the Mannings. Fyi, Pmoney does not want to coach. GM/Owner NFL is the goal.

He also told me when we hired BJ..”Butch Sucks, road Kelly’s coat tails. He will get exposed in the SEC.”

You were saying he wasn't who he said he was. And best I remember you stated that he was wrong on the salary. So if he was wrong fine. But how do know he was incorrect? if you have the facts, say so. At least he's willing to take his lumps if proven wrong. Unlike most on here.

I am pretty sure I know what SFD is considering I live in the area...

I don't live in your area but still pretty sure what SFD is. I pass thru the area on occasion.

But if SFD doesn't want to play the identity game, I'll stop asking questions and just believe that she know what she is talking about.

Unrelated, my nephew called to tell me he is going to be Butch Jones for Halloween and his girlfriend is going to be the champions of life trophy. Brilliant, imo.

My understanding is that Butch has been given the opportunity to finish the year while CJG exits from MNF.

Big Rumor - but - a friend of mine has a cousin in Bristol at ESPN. Says the network has started reaching out to Romo and Dilfer to take over MNF

Change won’t happen until Jan 1 tho

You’re telling me we get almost 2 months of Grumors and this thread? I may get fired. I’ve been so damn unproductive the past week or two 😂

Well, well, well, Hymans is reporting Jones will be the coach at least through the Kentucky game. If true and we will know by COB Sunday, which means a lot of trolls will be exposed on this thread ... It will be hilarious how they will be doing the ole "I never really said that" backtrack. On the other hand, if the posters who claim to be "in the know" are correct, we will ALL know if they are or not by COB Sunday. A lot of questions will be answered within 72 hours. Is DTO and the rest of the "gang" really "in the know"? lol

My guess is, and I could be wrong, is that every person who stated they were "in the know" on this thread about Jones being fired on Sunday are playing a lot of people ... we will see shortly ...

That's the kind of fluid, changing info that happens in this stuff. Haven't heard it, but it makes sense. I really believe they'll go with an interim at some point to try and salvage what's left and let Butch leave on his terms though.

My guess is that it’s a CBJ decision. Does he want to coach out or step aside.

The way I’ve heard it anyhow. Reminds me of the Meyer situation.

Anyhow - as for the long way around connection to ESPN. I’d give that about a 10% likelihood of being true. But it’s fun to speculate. His cousin does work at ESPN tho in the stats dept - so would be impacted for who he was feeding his data too.

I believe you and I don't like it.

This lends credence to Gruden/Peyton to the Browns.

No. No. No.

Please be clear that I don't know anything. I have a theory. And earlier I had a theory about knuckleheads identity and it was correct. Based on those things my meter is at 90%. Nothing more.
