So we are back to Haslam being the problem here as I have feared? And that's why Currie hasn't made a move yet? Good lord Currie tell Big Jim to move aside. How could any AD with half a brain not jump at this opportunity?

Yeah, this is relatively unprecedented. It wouldn't surprise me if a few high level NCAA attorney's have been drafting policy statements for this exact reason. Answering some version of the question, "When can a prospective NCAA coach announce his employment when he is currently working for a major sports media outlet?"

It's uncharted waters, and I'm fascinated.

In this era, information and opinion moves fast. Once it drops, it'll change overnight - no matter how long we wait. In six months, it won't matter whether he was announced tomorrow, or Nov. 30.

I do have a suspicion, based on a mostly overlooked ATL post, that there are boosters and UT staff working behind the scenes to try and judge how many recruits we lose by waiting. There's a game theory analysis and CBA that is done. If the risk is less than the gain of time behind the scenes you delay as long as possible.

Controlling the spread of information can absolutely not be undervalued.

This. All day long.

Also, maybe 10/31 is important because the BOT are meeting. It’s the moment they agree together to make it happen and give Currie the go ahead. Wouldn’t hear about it but would definitely be a huge moment.

Can I take my earlier post about being done with this back? I'm still pretty down but can never give up on my Vols. Have I missed anything while having my nose to the grind stone at work?

I think most of us have been 'DONE, and I mean DONE' several times. No need to take it back. I lasted a little over 24 hours one time when I was 'done.' Sad I brag about this, but it was quite an accomplishment, Imo.

Gruden leaving his awesome gig isn't favorable, however it sure is a lot of fun to speculate! We have got to have hope in something positive about VOL sports. Grude on my friends.

Everyone should be resigned to Butch being here as long as necessary. Im confident more than ever that we keep him because we have what we want.

This makes sense to a degree, but it does not mention or account for the opportunity lost on other recruits. Measuring opportunity lost, if not more important than, measuring potential losses.
