The folks I've talked to say he hasn't declined. BearCat is a solid guy, so I have no doubts he has heard that. I just don't know who his source is nor am I asking. Nothing is a done deal, imo- pro or con. I will say this, if he has declined, I would be very disappointed if we took a single no as the end and didn't continue to push. Slice has said that, but again, my guys say it's not changed.

Jay, what yearly donation amount would it take for you to consider someone a big enough donor to have any influence/knowledge on the decision making process?

I know someone who makes what I would consider a fairly large donation, but without having a donation amount to reference, I don't know if this person would be considered as big a donor as I or he thinks he is. I never see this guys name mentioned on here, so I am leaning towards the guy having an inflated sense of what his donation level is.

So if it's not Gruden will it be Dooley for one more year or do they hire Kirby Smart or Strong or somebody else?

jmo, but some of the louder donors are the younger ones (under 50) that have come into money in the last few years. They don't have the pull, input or info that they claim to have, but speak the most about buyouts, cancelling their boxes, pulling plane use, etc from the program.
The quiet ones are the ones involved in the process.

Boro-vol, Smokeyhuntsgators...have you heard anything? Is there really a decline or is it more of a smokescreen to throw people off the trail.

He definitely didn't fall into money the last few years, he has been wealthy for quite somebtime. He just likes to brag about how much money he spends on everything, not just his donation to the university. But he has never made a claim that he has any influence on anything UT related.

Sorry guys, but info is about to get really slow. Way too much has been leaked the last few days. I hope you understand.

All this secret talk for what? Wait till November? Never did hear what all the fuss was about really? Some comments made several months ago, a corona commercial and third hand info? Not holding my brath on this one.

If you hold your brath too long you might go blind :loco:

You don't want to slap the guy putting this together. He can make you disappear.
