[TOP]

Awesome.
Tell these people who was the first person to call you "TOP".


(Slice makes things happen)

Slice and Dice!!

I'm not sure if there are any Dice's around here. Guess you'll have to team up with this guy.

This thread is really picking up steam. I've never seen a thread with so many posts and views in such a short period of time.

 

[HOLLYWOOD KOBE]

Thanks Kobe. First we've heard of this.

Apart of me thinks it is since ESPN holds his rights for over 20milx5years and would have to go back to scrambling to find a color guy. Dennis Miller, Tony Kornheiser, Rush Limbaugh etc. They struck gold with Jon, hard to imagine they'd let him walk cause Hart asks nicely...

However, if you have info I don't, I'll gladly eat crow.

Hey 24, did you catch the link I posted on the last page? One of the guys made it seem like it was no biggie, but if the deal included a provision that bars him from leaving, it seems like that would be relevant. Maybe this has already been answered 50 pages ago...

His ESPN buyout is covered. Most details were agreed upon in an earlier meeting in principle. He has not accepted because there is currently no job to accept....officially.

Everything is as it has been for over a week.

I have spent the last 8 days on my IPhone refreshing this thread. I have no life.

This would be a good description of me.

Wait, you guys are saying this is so far along that boosters have agreed to:

1) pay Dooley's 5mil
2) pay Jon's buyout (which has to be huge since ESPN got that provision)
3) pay Jon a salary of 5+mil

I'll admit I'm not in the "UT loop," but yikes that seems like a lot even for an SEC school.

 

[Obsessed]

This would be a good description of me.

I'd bet there is a bunch of us guilty of this

 

[Vol2424]

What we have been saying since Monday.

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Would be true of me except substitute the Iphone for a lap top..Damn, I love this life!:dance2:

I'd hate Doyle too. He was an abusive drunk that met his fate.

Some of us crazy people have given up a social life for this thread...not naming any names.

Boro... Have you heard that there are 2 members of the staff that he is required to keep through 2014-2015 if he takes the job?

lol: you know what I meant lol:

 

[utkell65]

Guess that means a few actually were legit this time.

SBV commented on it too and he doesn't tend to blow smoke.

Didn't say that SBV was, but i haven't followed this thread from start to finish and the post that I saw from SBV last Sunday didn't say that we were going after Gruden. At least not the one that I saw.

I'll admit I'm not in the "UT loop," but yikes that seems like a lot even for an SEC school.

payout is about $136,000 a month over 3 years.

 

[knucklehead_vol]

The Waltons better keep their distance, all I'm saying.
