My problem with Gundy is he blows a game or two every year he should win. Good coach, but it's almost like complacency sets in.

But there’s really only 1 coach out there who doesn’t and unfortunately he coaches the red team. Urban, Petersen, Patterson, Shaw, Stoops all did that... I hear that argument a lot but every coach does it every year. Minus 1.

Atlanta_Vol said that if Gruden turned down the offer we made that we had a back up plan that would be a great hire. So here is my theory based on what Atlanta_Vol has said, and what information has come out

Big boosters did all the heavy lifting for Gruden. They contacted him. They found out what it would take to get him. And they thought that they had Currie and Haslam on their side. Currie and Haslam had a separate agenda. Perhaps they didn’t like the control they would have to give away to Gruden. Or the 18 million for Gruden and his staff was just too much. They started going after Mullen, Schiano, and Campbell. Mullen got the call from UF and backed out. Campbell’s buyout was too big. Currie panicked and started finalizing the deal with Schiano. The news of the hire was leaked to Volnation and boosters. Everyone rebeled and the deal was stopped. All boosters but the Haslams were extremely pissed that they went behind their backs and not only killed the deal with Gruden, but tried to hire Greg “I didn’t see nothin’” Schiano. The boosters went down to Knoxville and demanded Currie be fired for this. Instead of being fired Currie came to the compromise that he would go with the Boosters back up plan. Mike Gundy.

A good defense fixes that. Most of the games he lost weren't because he wasn't putting up points. It was because they couldn't stop the other team from putting up more.

My info is about a call that Jimmy Haslam made. I am trying to come up with a way to get it out but I am not going to cost someone their job. Especially when that someone is close. Haslam was behind this. As I said don't let up Vol Nation !!!

No worries.

I presume no one involved in the attempted hire did any kind of KH analysis. Or at least didn't care about the results of such an analysis.

This deal was burned to a crisp. The chef should probably hang up the tongs and find a new vocation.

The first part is right, the second part is Schiano was Haslam and Currie's pick from the beginning. We shall see on the ending...
