@RonHigg: Arkansas wants Gruden, but some of my UT sources are saying the Vols have supposedly countered with obscene amount of money for 8-yr deal.
@RonHigg: Hogs supposedly offered Gruden today and he said, "Nope." UT private donors have put money for an offer that is mind-blowing.

How would Ron Higg know? Who's leaking this stuff?

I hate being bipolar...it's awesome

What if its less than what they offered?

Rocket, rocket, all of my rocket sauce. All of my ****ing rocket sauce, all of my rocket sauce.

Can you read?

Ron Higgins is a pretty well respected SEC Journalist. But if you listen to all the local sports media in Memphis, they all think the Gruden stuff is a pipe dream. Even after the news today, some still think we're full court pressing for nothing. :rofl:

Can you read?

I sure can, now do you realize that contract details will be made public afterwards (if he signs with UT) and it may be less than what Arky offered..... thus making fun of the Arky calling our bid obscene part.

 

[Tux]

The word that I got and I am not connected, is that it is 8 year deal worth $60 million.

 

[brando1083]

I read where he answered a question asking would it make him the highest paid SEC coach and he said yessir

It's irrelevant really.

It's irrelevant really.

Maybe, but it would be funny as hell.

I do believe that that would qualify as obscene. Daym, if true!

This post has merit. There is some serious negotiating going on right now and the Vols have the upper hand at this time. Gruden IS UT's next coach. Nov 30 is when the announcement is expected

 

[volfrk86]

alright damit now I'm on board the Gruden Train. I figure why fight it. It actually sounds like he may be our coach next year. I'm just trying not to put my eggs all in the Gruden basket to avoid disappointment, but I am on board.

 

[Drivebye]

Uh oh, now you all have done went and pissed Tennessee off!

 

[volfan607]

Why wait until the 30th to announce?

Why wait until the 30th to announce?

I have no idea. i am only repeating what the big wigs said about 30 mins ago

They said this afternoon on 104.5 the zone that Gruden turned down Arkansas. And yes it was Clay and the boys.

Ron saw my UT tatoo and tried to hit me with his car in 1997. He was paid back 10 fold. More stories on that later

I've been trying to maintain my cool and not get my hopes up about Chucky but this Higgins tweet has done lit my fuse. I'm a true believer now. :dance2:
