So what are we thinking now. Leaks on Sunday and announcement Monday or Tuesday? Or just announce on Sunday?

When do we start to panic..if it’s wednesday and we know nothing?

Monday doesn't work. Sunday if he's ready to walk away from ESPN now.

But more than likely Tues or Wed. While ESPN long term future is bleak it's still extremely important in the near term. Not only does JG not want to interfere with current coaches he also, obviously, gets the importance of the PR/perceptions of this. In other words, he isn't going to alienate ESPN either. Waiting until at least Tues allows him to check all the boxes.

We went to a tequila store. Beaver, I bought a 15 year old, French oak aged tequila. I don’t even like tequila but this stuff is pretty dog gone good. I hope I have cause to open it soon!

If it's not open, how do you know it's good?

Didn't some recruits say that Currie told them that they would know before they went home from this week end?

If it ends up being gruden could it be after conference championship games as well? Thinking it’ll be soon tho if recruits are coming in

I agree, except....

There are a couple of others that participated in this process. Stakeholders that you aren't aware of. In fact, some of our info is coming from them.

Not having the same amount of brain cells that you have, this statement confuses me? Stakeholders in what? UT is a state run institution thus who would be these stakeholders you are referring to?

Just read on Twitter Peterson got a commitment from a big time DT today. I gotta think if he knew he was going to be or in the running to be UT’s next coach he would tell kids to hold off their commitments.

Me neither. Usually drink Cabo Wabo. What brand you talking about?

It looks and drinks like bourbon. We are in Cancun and went to a distillery. I think it’s Grand Mayan brand. It’s wrapped up in bubble wrap for our trip home tomorrow but I think that’s the place we went.

I hope Gruden signs soon, hoepfully this week. How does kissing some posters butt that may or may not be legit speed up this signing? I don’t understand how Currie & Gruden ink the deal quicker because a butt is kissed for all the world to see with posts like “when this gets done we can go to hillbilly golf and drink some dewars Wally??”

The whole "50 %" thing kills me.

Basically what that says is "He may say yes...he may say no."

So profound.

If you have say a field of 8 potential coaches each coach could NOT be 50% because at that point you would have a percentage of 400% but if one has a 50% chance then you simply divide up the difference between the other seven by 50%

To me when I hear from my guy that Gruden has a 50% chance I took this as a good thing.... sorry but that is the beat he would give me and it is all I will offer

Well, obviously if that were up for public discussion it would have been disclosed. But there are other participants in this process, and that is where a couple of our insiders have gotten their info. And to make it more telling, they have different sources themselves.

Gruden to the Hill, Coasty! Gruden to the Hill!

Possibly. I don't see the value in that though. Most everyone's regular season is over at that point. There are no coaches to worry about. Granted I don't know how the man thinks. Hell, for all I know he wants to give MNF 2 weeks notice.

Gruden has been the name we have heard loudest. In 2012 it is pretty much common knowledge that the interest was real. In 2017 there is no doubt a even bigger more serious push. Nothing has been squashed, this could have been put too rest awhile back but it has not been. And the reason in my opinion is that we have found our coach. GRUDEN TO BIG ORANGE COUNTRY!!!!!!!SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
