TFP is reporting Gruden has an offer but staff a hang up

[Allvolwall]

someone on twitter needs to ask patrick brown if he's aware of the memphis report and get his thoughts.

Stephen Hargis wrote the article. PBrown tweeted it out to his followers because he's the Vols beat writer.

Football is football bro...If you can coach in the NFL you can coach in college, The biggest hangup is learning to recruit and do it to where you don't get the school in trouble with the NCAA.

Monte never made it work in college.

It's in the cliff notes, basically WREG says Gruden declines UT's offer. Came out about an hour before the TFP's article.

This article is a big risk if a farse. Home run breaking news if true.

So of course the article doesn't say how much Gruden wants for his assistants and what UT has offered--which is crucial to know. Are they far apart? Must be a significant difference, and this might explain why some are saying the deal is off and some are saying that it's not and might/will get done.

Here are two numbers of obtain: how much did Kiffin get for assistant salaries, and how does it compare to what Gruden is being offered? I believe that Kiffin got a LOT of money for his staff, but don't recall the number. But it was high. I'm also curious to know what Saban's staff is getting--a number that Hart could use as leverage. I'm all for giving the guy enough money for a good staff, but we shouldn't be paying $5 million a year, say, for staff. At some point we have to draw the line with Gruden, or maybe boosters just keep ponying up the dough. It just shows how absurd college football has gotten.

I like the TFP...

The TFP has produced the best sportswriters to come out of Tennessee in recent years.

If this is truly the only hang up...then we are in good shape. No way they let this fall threw cause they didn't want to give the man enough money to assemble an all-star staff to bring to UT.
