That's what I've been thinking...maybe let haslams decision fall flat on its face in front of everyone to set up gruden, while also interviewing to keep attention on the coaches and not gruden. Heck every coach it seems has gotten something out of it. Maybe that's why nobody's called Tee about the HC and he's been on Grudens staff all along. It's falling into place it seems

I just kinda get this sneaking feeling this isnall a big charade to buy time dor a championship game announcement.

Weve been THE news all week. Makes sense to end it with fireworks.

I done, Done I? there was no contradiction. what you have here is a logical fallacy. I didn't change my story, I raised a hypothetical. Jesus, I never said I WAS the one making the ****ing deal. Paul Revere said the british were coming. and by Gum they were, but if they had they run into a bear or an avalanche on the trail and turned around, it doesn't make Revere wrong. Revere wasn't the general of the troops, you understand. Sure, he'd have had some egg on his face though. as would I, if this deal backfires, again.



I'm 99% sure this is happening, but I'm not going to pretend like there's not a chance of it falling through, I don/t know that for sure. IF it were already inked, we'd be hearing Gruden's comments right now

Then why is the search continuing ala Doreen, Sumlin, Morris? If it’s going the way you say, why are guys still being contacted ? I mean Doreen got an offer so wtf

no, sir. Would love to take credit for the scoop, but better not. It'll work itself out soon enough. My whole family is UT. God Help me if it gets out that I'm blabbing like an idiot on a board, just thought my brethren deserved better info after all we've been through. plus I'm super stoked, TBH.

...and if it turns out this falls through, God help me even more. no upside to revealing myself at this juncture. wouldn't be prudent

Reminds me of Dana Carey on SNL playing Ross Perot. "Wouldn't be prudent" He was great!

I actually think the Haslams are holding their own pocket ace and waiting till they have no other option but to use it.

Tee Martin

Let the build up get louder and louder until it’s overwhelming. Hire Tee and be a hero. Would be impossible to fire him then.

I actually think (or maybe hope) enough people in power realize Tee Martin would potentially be a complete disaster. There’s no reason to think he could do this job at all.

What gives hope about Gruden is that Beav said there would be a time where it would look like it wouldn't happen and then it would. Certainly there have been four days of extreme doubt regarding Gruden.

There's no better time to maximize the good news and erase all the negativity than making the announcement the weekend of the SEC Championship.

Yet he is on twitter trying to sell several other coaches.....I’m not buying what he is selling anymore.

what if schiano was haslam and curries guy? Everyone else thinks gruden, currie sneaks off for talks, leaks get out and it's shut down. Grudens contract still on table but wants to let everything die down, get staff together, etc. If they were not ready to announce gruden and currie goes rogue, they probably wouldn't want to announce gruden in this mess, for reasons such as finishing details, getting the ad straightened out, and avoiding the even more insane press of having schiano, gruden both being announced at the same time, as well as protests. Not a good look imo. So, they decide to wait it out till sec championship when media is all out, to announce. The coaches in between were all ones either the fans wouldn't accept or wouldn't leave their jobs anyway. Good way to persuade coaches under table to put up a front to potentially get raises and extensions at current job as well as side ut. Makes them look like they are doing something as well which while hasn't been the best publicity, it hasn't been the worst, especially compared to schiano

"go after" ones who wouldn't take the job and/or just use it for leverage where they're currently at with no real interest

I think this is all one big dang conspiracy. Haslam is really a super genius robot from outer space. The Browns aren't really bad. They just keep acting like they are so they can keep getting good draft picks. They've been building a super talented team by losing and once it's complete Gruden will take over as HC, Peyton as GM and they will look like freaking heroes to the whole entire world.

If we are to rid of Currie with his $5 million buyout someone should tell the Haslams if they want to remain associated with the program they can cover that bill.

They can also kindly cover any money owed to Schiano if he decides to sue.

He could also be the next Fulmer. I say give him a chance at this point. I think he'd get a stellar staff together and potentially win a whole lotta ball games.

Deer hunter did your daughters play under pat summit?

Deer hunter said his wife and wife’s sister both work for AD, he works for UT, and his daughters played b-ball at UT. Assuming he’s not FOS (big assumption), shouldn’t be hard to triangulate who it would be. Any pair of sisters who work at UT AD? One of which had lady Vols players daughters? He’s given enough for a determined person to figure out who he is so I’m gonna say troll!

there's been no statement from JG and Tee hasn't been contacted..

:question:

I've thought through this scenario as well.... however there seems to be too much collateral damage from what would essentially be smokescreening. Would love for Gruden to be announced and fulfilling the original prophesy of Currie looking like he saved everything at the last minute. :ermm:
