I know it doesn't mean much but got some interesting news while at my in laws for Thanksgiving. A real good friend of my father in law played for UT in the 60's. He stays in touch with the program and goes to a good number of away games as well. When asked who he thinks the next coach is he is fully convinced it's Gruden.

Oh I am not at all against Gruden to the Hill and I am not being negative but if you can't reveal how there can be stakeholders in a public run institution I will simply say I can't add this to my theory or understanding and will continue to go with what I know!

I will stay with my guy ... he isn't being cryptic

stakeholders = people with a bunch of money who don't want their kids to grow up to be bammers

I have had a lot more confidence since my guy told me Gruden 50% .... and I have not based anything on this board after that.... it has stabilized me to believe we got our man... but I am no where near the large percentages that many post .... I think Currie is the wild card here... but also believe he knows he is backed into a corner.

The question I ask is will he buckle under and follow as most will or will he be stubborn as he has proved to be in the past????

50% shouldn’t be allowed, Coasty. 49% or 51% Lol

As much as I want Gruden on our sidelines, I’d be more than happy with Peterson. He’s a heck of a coach.

Rev, unsubscribe to the belief that Gruden has always been option 1. However, you ALWAYS perform due diligence on other names, even if you don't expect to pursue them.

I remember reading that early on during the “investigation” but definitely could’ve been just a theory. I agree to keep your options open just in case. But I believe we’re beyond that now which is why I think tomorrow’s “interview” with M****n is crap.

I see you edited your post to say I not un. Lol.

I don't see that either but I can see him saying good-bye and thanks. I don't believe he would say he is taking the UT job.

I believe there’s 2 theories in garnering our coach. And it’s the battle raging within the believers.

1) The total upheaval and change of power that many of our super sleuths worked to uncover with the clues from
Beaver and Bubba. Gruden was the only option from the beginning and his interest, needed numbers and incentives, and projected 5-10 year plan was ironed out well before any of us knew it. Possibly as early as late Spring. The plan was executed, had a few hiccups along the way but was never in jeopardy from Gruden’s side and now we await the announcement.

2) The more traditional take. Butch began to tank and after Florida, Currie began to make some calls. Currie didn’t want to fire Butch right away because he didn’t want to fire the football coach in his first year as AD. Behind the scenes, Currie began to reach out to agents of coaches and make a list of potential hires. Once he finnaly fired Butch, he thought “what the heck, might as well call Gruden” and did. But he also reached out to all the other candidates we keep hearing and now, in a matter of a few days, has reached his decision. And many just think Gruden was a courtesy call and don’t really believe it’s him but iits fun to dream.

Those who keep asking if anything has changed or has anyone heard from Atlanta or Beav more than likely fall into that 2nd group. At some point you have to chose what you believe and stick with it. 👊

Oh I have not changed at all after hearing from my source ... It just does not match what others have said... but as you know before then I was up and down because I don't know most of these posters... however I personally know my source and he is honest, trustworthy, connected and he believes we have a real good chance landing Gruden ... That is where I am...

Now just how we got here... I don't really care... Get Gruden is what I care for....(Guess I am more interested in results that the theories) lol
