You don't have to believe the Gruden stuff....that's understandable. Just realize that nothing coming out is what it appears, and be self-aware enough to recognize the big (temporary) swings when they are happening. Nobody should be so invested in this as to effect their personal emotional state.

Well, I'm not literally on the ledge. I don't have a gun in my mouth. I don't have a razor to my wrist.

But I am invested enough to be mad. I feel that as a fan, I'm allowed to be mad.

Meh is around the corner.

Guys need to chill.

Butch still having a job here doesn't line up with any evidence we have so far. Recruiting at a standstill. If he were in play to be our coach next year, he would be recruiting.

Shoops comments about "we all know what's going on". Shoops doesn't make that comment if there wasn't something else happening.

Butch will be gone by the SEC championship.

I was surprised but really encouraged when said that. Peeled back the curtain with a confirm in Realville that CBJ was gone

Meh is in two years in the rearview mirror to anyone saying attention.

I may be completely wrong so please correct my thought on this if necessary. If you had to choose between the two scenarios wouldn't B make the most sense, which is not what UT is doing.

A. Keep the coach even though you intend to fire him after the last game regardless of record. Do not actively recruit in the interim for several weeks. Scramble to assemble an early signing class after the coach is let go after Vandy. Waste time not actively recruiting and sitting on your hands while Georgia/Clemson/Anybody is still out there recruiting.

B. Remove the coach now since it's already been decided he is gone at the end of the season. Have several weeks to try to retain a recruiting class by showing that you are in the process of making a change and that we are swinging for the fences this time. At least act like you are doing something and release some type of statement, or anything that indicates you care about making the situation better moving forward.

You’re just as clueless as I am about what’s best for TN moving forward. Stop assuming you aren’t.

A. Unless you have an arrangement with your new coach in which he asks that you give him as much time as possible before announcing.

B. Risk losing said coach because your fan base is throwing a temper tantrum and demanding you do something that, may appear to be in the best interest of the team, actually isn’t because they don’t have a crap clue about what’s been going on.

Someone said that Currie is "Crazy like a fox" .... With this in mind I think of the old saying "All the women look better at closing time"

He is sports entertainment...not journalism. I have nothing against him, he's just perpetually incorrect when he tries to break news.

B obviously makes the most sense to everyone.

That is why the only conceivable explanation is that part of the negotiated deal was Gruden's insistence that Butch be allowed to finish the year. My guess is that when the deal was reached, no one thought the season would deteriorate to this point. They have probably gone back to Gruden and said "I know we agreed, but look at what it is happening." Gruden is looking for ways to speed up the timetable; and if he can, the announcement will soon be made.

Like clockwork, this board will find its second wind. Give the Xanax and the cauldron of nuggets time to brew. By 5PM, it'll be popping harder than a 12 year old with dirty magazine in his lap.

I'm afraid that this thread needs more than Xanax...lol. It's time to step it up to Klonopin, Ativan, or Valium! Afternoon med pass folks! Just hit your call lights and I'll be with you shortly.

Everyone needs to relax I’m worried some of you are going to blow a gasket. You can shake your fist at the sky and curse the rain but it will not make a difference.
