Wait, how will Gruden's wife stack up in the conference as far as hotness?

She needs to be at least as attractive as Allison.

Without getting into the contracts too deeply it appears that all the buyouts will equal:

Dooley - $5M payable over 36mos. or more if the difference between termination without cause and end of the agreements is 36+mos.

Chaney - Rest owed under the contract payable in yearly lump sums equal to base + extra pay prorated on the payroll system. Approx. $1.8-$2M.

Sunseri - Rest owed under the contract payable as base + extra pay owed on the payroll system and payable monthly until the end of the contract Approx. $2.25M

Others - Some sort of mix between Chaney and Sunseri.

Between Dooley, Chaney, and Sunseri that is probably close to $2.75M (Dooley $1.67M + about $600K for Chaney + about $750K for Sunseri + other assistants) a year until Dooley is paid off and then another $1.25M or so for the time between Dooley paid off and Chaney/Sunseri paid off.

Add that onto any on-going buyouts with Hamilton, Pearl, and Raleigh, as well as say at minimum an $8M pool for Gruden and assistants and you have say $13-15M each year needing to be covered?

Seems like a lot (with conservative numbers) especially with the poor performance of the AD as of late.

All of the SEC fans who say that Gruden would never come to Tennessee are about to experience a rude awakening.

Vol fans, we've been through alot. And it's going to be worth every minute. The time is coming....

I haven't dogged people about their info, and I didn't think I was being negative.
It's just a mess right now and nothing is certain, imo, which is worth little.

I wasn't trying to dog anyone either as I genuinely appreciate all the info from whatever source. Just pointing out that what you were saying certainly seems inconsistent with something that had been said earlier by multiple people. There's been near universal agreement here since at least late Sat. night that we were past the issue of whether Dooley might be back (and in fact some had said he had been told after MSU). Now it sounds like that may not be the case (although he still may not be back). If that decision truly hasn't been made, then it casts serious doubt on the nature and progress of any talks (much less "offers") with the G man.
