Alot of rumblings and upset boosters. But, one in particular said not one of them has stepped up to the plate and commit to pay the buyout.

That statement gives credibility they have been asked about it.

But, it also shows no one so far is willing to do it. After the USCjr game, perhaps someone gets ready to do so. However, this makes me feel nothing has happened with Gruden except some calls to see if interested. TIFWIW

But, I had this convo with someone who does know a booster very well.

Well UT administration needs to get it's head outta it's big orange butt, and learn how to structure a contract. They need clauses built in that nullify or lessen a buyout for blatantly violating NCAA rules (Kiffin & Pearl), and for total game incompetence (Dooley & Fulmer). Sounds like Baumgartner is drawing it up for them.

Yes, it would be ashamed to see Gruden come in here and fill the roster with five star recruits, because he could. It would be ashamed if after three years our roster was composed of a roster comparing to USC and Alabama because it would be. For most every young recruit to want to play for Gruden would also be "risky" too. I am sure some more suitable prospect like Golden would appease you more. After all you are accustomed to losing and losers and you obviously don't want to change that. A risk to hire the mastermind of the west coast offense who is also a defensive coach. A risk to hire a proven superbowl champion with the nation's most notorious quarterback clinics, not to mention an anchor broadcaster on MNF. Yes, Yes risky, because kids would come. But more comfortable is a coach like Golden who is a proven loser and mirrors Dooley, sure to fail. Thats not risky because we don't pay him as much for certain failure. Or, perhaps you could give me a name who is less of a risk from a university stand point. Just one available name

It is funny you ask. I still say if we don't meet with Chris Peterson of Boise State, we are cheating ourselves.

know what scares me in all this? the irritation in Gruden's voice when that BS about himself, Haslam, and "a piece of the Browns" was addressed on Mike & Mike. Would hate to think that BS might turn him away from us. Funny thing was I saw a post about that on here a week before it hit the radio, and dismissed it as Horse....! But when I heard that interview, he sounded POed. Then a possible meeting between Gruden & Hart for this week is cancelled...BY GRUDEN! Everybody cut this crap out, if he still wants the job, it will happen. If he doesn't want it, then we gotta get behind someone else. But for God sake, don't ruin UT's chance to get a great coach. Gruden or otherwise.

the old pull/push scenario. The harder we push the harder he pulls away.

Well it is more than push and pull. It is more a situation where we are almost defaming his and Haslam's character. We are proving that if he comes here, and passes gas in public, hundreds of morons will get on the net and grade it.

Why not go after Tressel. He has won everywhere he has been. He is a proven commodity that can recruit and bring money into the university. Ask Michigan they hate him he was 9-1 against them. Imagine us going 9-1 against Florida in a ten year span. AWESOME.

Doesn't EVERY successful coach say he is happy where he is while his team is still playing. I would no eliminate anyone just yet. How many Coaches have left for greener pastures only days after making these kind of comments.

I agree, but u will catch heat here cause ppl don't want the5 year show cause.. Even tho we wouldn't be close to making the big game in his first 5.. But I think he could definitely win Atleast 9 a year every year..
