Please do not repeat this.
I only have one source.
My candy striper who bathes me at my nursing home.
She is the granddaughter of a highly placed person.
This morning, while getting to some hard to get to spots, she informed me that Barb J is quite upset.
You see, Barb had shared the super secret ingredient to her award winning dip recipe with Vicky Fulmer.
Vicky then, apparently, took Cindy Gruden to Dollywood.
While there, they ran into Dolly.
Cindy absolutely loves Dolly and was star struck.
Vicky got a little toasted drinking some pga moonshine.
She then got a little too talky.
She told Dolly that Cindy was going to be the new First Lady of Tennessee football.
Vicky then whipped a piece of paper out that contained, you guessed it, the recipe for Barbs dip recipe.
She said....”here, Cindy, this belongs to you now...Barb can take her ass back to Cincinnati and make chili....stupid Yankee *****....never liked her anyway”.
Well, Unbeknownst to Vicky (or Cindy), Dolly has become fast friends with Barb over the past five years. In fact, if you can believe this irony, Dolly was in the process of helping Barb market her dip and Dolly was going to be the spokesperson ...they even had a name for it. BJ’s DipDAT.

So, Dolly calls Barb and tells her about Vicky betraying her by divulging the secret ingredient of the dip.
And, before you ask me or MIT, I do not know the secret recipe. And, even if I did, I would not divulge that on a public web site.
I don’t want the Jones family to dox me.
Anyway, I digress.
Barb is now over Knoxville.
Vicky was her only friend and now that friendship has died.
Barb wants out ASAP and has told Butch she will not have Christmas in this f****d up town.
So, Soon?

You know... The way this season has gone, I can almost see this happening.

Why - on Earth - would Butch Jones agree to a lower buyout? The charts suggest otherwise.

Soon.
Click to expand...

Under the contract, his buyout is mitigated by future earnings, and he is obligated to seek future comparable employment. So, for example, if he happened to land another HC job (not likely, but for the sake of discussion) and that job paid the same as his current Tennessee job, UT would owe him nothing. Further, the buyout would be paid over installments.

So, if UT made him a guaranteed, lump sum offer, it might be attractive to him for a number of reasons.

I fully believe a negotiated lowered buyout has been agreed on which has been widely reported. I just cannot fathom a scenario where they present it as a resignation or termination after a win. Would be unprecedented in NCAA football. But as I said before I would not bet we win this game with anyones money but it would not surprise me. Probably the most even matchup since Umass and SCjr and home field was the reason we were in the SC game and the reason we won the Umass game imo.

Seems more likely to be presented exclusively as a resignation, win or lose.

A few things to note about Gruden's house in Avila (Tampa):

1. He bought it in May, 2017 (height of market) for $3.3M

2. It's probably worth $2.8-3M now

3. He would probably take a loss on the sale

4. He probably doesn't need to sell it to be able to buy another house :eek:lol:

5. It probably won't pop onto the market before he is hired

Summary, this is probably not a good indicator of anything. :whistling:

Plus...is there any law that says he can't have a vacation home? I think he can afford it.

Ah the good old "I'll let my lie die down before I start posting again" tactic

Haha yes. Although I'll stop short of calling him a liar. He did come in the week after the USC game giving a bunch of info. I think he was overshadowed by Beaver as he came in around the same time.

I haven't forgotten. And I understand things can change any minute. But I felt he had some 'splaining to do haha.

Good answer.

This is not hard. Many coaches restructure buyouts for a lot of reasons...it's not a new thing.

Butch is gone after Kentucky win or lose. Confirmed.
Click to expand...

So either with a termination or a resignation...both would be odd after a win. I find it difficult to believe we would suffer three bad losses in a row and then fire him after a win. Just doesn't seem logical.

He will definitely not be fired next week if he beats Kentucky (unless something unrelated happens). Resignation might be possible, tho.

This is the very reason I could not understand them allowing him to continue on after Bama!

If I'm Tennessee, that's a gamble I'd be willing to take too.

This is where a lot of my clients source material:

Flea and Farmer's Market

There are a few dealers there that have barn wood/reclaimed wood... Maybe that could help you?

Also, I get my supply of wood from:

Reclaimed Wood Orlando

Maybe reach out to them about becoming a vendor?

Thank you sir.. for whatever reason that Reclaimed wood Orlando never came up in a Google search.

Much appreciated

1. He's miserable.
2. He's angry.
3. All of the negative media makes him look bad.
4. Negative media hurts his ability to sell himself at another big job.
5. At the end of the season he'll have to compete with other, more successful coaches for job openings.
6. He wanted to leave last year.
7. Gruden is coming and hell is coming with him.[/QUOTE]

She uses plain yogurt for the base instead of sour cream. Not that big of a secret.

How would a resignation be odd? If there's one thing Butch is good at its talking out Of his ass, he could spin it and make it sound good
