7 years 40 million, presser 12 tomorrow

[Magic8Vol]

Seems like this is going from a fishy story to str8 bull$h!T. I'm for Gruden and all but making him the highest paid doesn't make sense. 1 Super Bowl and a 4 year lay off, I would assume u offer to somebody that has won 2 out 3 NC

That salary is in line with current NFL coaches which is what we are up against.

It is not true

The Dooley part is definitely true, just hope Gruden being announced shortly after is also true.

I think the money sounds about right.

Dooley getting fired/resigning is definitely true?

 

[VOLALUM]

Is it the yelling at players on the sideline or is this off the field?

Off the field. He thinks his !@#$ don't stink, if you know what I mean.

 

[give_him 6]

Does he still get his buyout money?

 

[ericberry4heisman]

Does he still get his buyout money?

Yes. As long as he doesn't resign.

looks like guys with titles get at least 5.75 million. so that should be a fair estimate of what gruden would get. hes not getting the 7.5 that bellichek is getting but i could see an nfl team giving him the 7 that fisher, carrol and shannahan are getting.

Fixed.

Is it the yelling at players on the sideline or is this off the field?

Brother , he is just an arrogant person who thinks he is above a lot of people off the field.

 

[smashmouth98]

I dont believe it. Not sure what Hart will do but I would do a backflip then run thru a wall if he hires Gruden!! All we can do is wait. I think Hart doent say or do anything til after the season.

 

[kohlrums]

That and the Saban contract. Gruden will be the 2nd biggest name in college coaching now, so it would make sense.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Any possibility DD stays in some kind of admin role? That is only scenario in which I could see Gruden announcement in next couple days. That or (as someone posted was rumor today, he resigns for Browns position immediately effective), which I doubt but would be much easier for UT in many ways

 

[OSvol]

I don't think an announcement will be made with a bowl game still possible.

 

[landscapingvol]

The Dooley part is definitely true, just hope Gruden being announced shortly after is also true.

Dooley may get fired but it will not be tomorrow

0%

 

[Backyard QB]

So he's making 4.3 and we are going to offer 5.7? ...... Guess we are keeping all the Coordinators and Assistants, dont see how there's enough in the piggy bank for anybody else

Sometimes to make money, you got to spend it.

 

[SDV]

Sorry, but you are absolutely wrong

 

[BJWeeks]

If Dooley is fired tomorrow then that means Gruden accepted the offer but Gruden will not be named coach tomorrow
