I hope this is true, but what happens if by some miracle we beat SC this weekend(I know thats a laugh). We going to fire Dooley the week after he finally gets his "signature win" that everyone is saying he needs.

Again, I am all for a change at this point and hope this is true.

I'm not sure Dools is coaching this weekend. I am likely wrong. An interim can coach and an "official" can be made Monday. The players already know what they will need to know. Doesn't change what they need to do on the field.

Im thinking they will take the position that it didn't take one game to come to this realization, and one game won't rectify it either.

How will that work though, if Hart won't officially can Dooley until we get Gruden on the hook and Gruden won't sign until Dooley is canned?

Any lawyers want to chime in on how it may play out?

It would seem risky unless there is some binding pre-contract

Its the same as it would work in any contract. Either side could always back out until the official documents are signed, but these decisions aren't made unless both sides are completely sure that everyone is on board.

Gruden could back out even after coach CDD were fired, but Hart would have certain assurances and that scenario would be highly unlikely if a deal was already agreed to in principle.

Could this be the counter offer

Not saying yes or no. I have specific information that something is happening but not specifics of the contract more specific to the preparations that I have seen twice first hand with Kiffin and Dooley. Cannot post, but Jay knows and can confirm I am not FOS about it lol. I have to be very careful as my information directly pertains to my employment.


While I am at it let me set something else straight. I made a statement earlier that "I have a family member on the team" and Spartacus Vol called me out. I told Jay how this came about, and want to come clean that it is not a true "family relation" as much as an ongoing joke form the summer. I will not say how, but I spent a lot of time the last 2 summers with some of the players and with one of them it became a long running joke that he is my "cousin". In reality my aunt and his aunt were college roommates. Doesn't make anything I said untrue, but that relationship was a little exaggerated and for that I apologize.

Jay can vouch for me as a whole, as I have shared the complete picture with him of my connections and how it came about. Its a "work thing" for me and I have to be very careful. I just do not want this to haunt me, and Spartacus Vol seems to know what he is talking about. I value VN and the people I talk to on here and do not want one misstep that CONSTANTLY gets called out and referred to by SpartacusVol to affect that.

I want to believe.
Three things I want to happen.
1. Dooley fired
2. Gruden hired as HFC at Tennessee
3. Celebrate

Hope it happens after the South Carolina game. Monday, Hart announces Dooley is gone, Interim will coach the coach the rest of the season and Gruden is named head coach on Wednesday.

This comes from someone I know that is VERY tied to the program -

"Good to hear from you. Hope you and family are doing ok. Yes the offer is on the table. On the front page of the News Sentinel today, the cost to buy out all of the coaches including Coach Dooley was documented. The announcement will come after the South Carolina game if there is one. Coach Gruden is yet to sign the offer. It is 5 years @ 5.5M a year. If he signs it Dooley is gone before the end of the season. There is a lot of upset people here as can imagine. They are playing bad but what is worse is their lack of basic fundamentals. Dooley has not helped himself in the community. He comes across as a bit arrogant and full of himself. Personally I like him but he is a bit different and not very engaging. My best to all."

Just my $.02.

I haven't heard anything today. Everything sounds plausible though.

Look back at what several of us have said going back 10 days ago. It all is falling into place.

Jay, can you come pick me up? I like SUVs. :)
