Gru wanted 4.3 in 2010. He also wanted 1 million for his brother. I still have Gruden at the top of my list. It's him until we are told it's not. But shame on Tennessee if he wants the job and we say no. Have you heard from your guy he is interested at all? You mention the problem with him. He must have some interest if there is an issue paying him.
Let's clear up the waters here:
1. Are UT boosters really interested in bringing Gruden here or is this a negavol/anti-Dooley pipe dream? Yes, the major boosters want Gruden here.
2. Is Gruden really interested in coming here? Yes, he has expressed his interest to the people that matter when inquired.
3. Has Gruden turned us down before? Yes, Gruden was contacted in the past about UT and turned us down. There are multiple differences between then and now but the main point is that the "inquiries" never got to the point they are now.
4. Can we afford him? Yes, If Gruden agrees to come then money will not be a problem. Dooley's $5 Mil buyout has already been pledged.
5. Would his brother come with him? Doubtful, he's got his own thing going right now.
While exciting, this doesn't mean it's 100% that he's coming here. It simply means that both parties have made each other aware that they are interested and listening.
How can we trust you? Where did you get this info? There's a few of you on here know the answer to that and the validity behind it...and I'll leave it at that.
Happy Friday and GBO.
