[smokeyhuntsgators]

Thank you for the info,peyton4heisman..Much appreciated.:salute:

 

[UTodd01]

Someone refresh my memory as to why this cat is not to be believed again?

Yet another liar.

There's a few around here.

 

[Obsessed]

Already is my friend. 100% positive. He HAS NOT accepted our offer or declined at this point though.

What do you believe is the reasoning for not declining or accepting at this time?

 

[ATC_VOL]

Thanks Peyton. Hope to hear something by Monday!

 

[Blackmarket803]

Doubt it happens this week.

You're just talking about the firing right?

 

[Vol4ever]

Whole situation is a moving target.

 

[knucklehead_vol]

What do you believe is the reasoning for not declining or accepting at this time?

Reason for not accepting is the position is not available yet.

OK guys and gals. Just got an update from my dad. Here's the deal. IF we see DD resign/fired by Monday, that's our signal that the deal has been made with Gruden. If DD is still here after Monday, we still haven't made the deal. Dooley WILL NOT step down/be fired this week unless the agreement has been made between JG and UT. Dooley will remain the coach until we have our guy. There will be no interim while a search is going on. If we have an interim named, then it's 100% done with JG. We will be making a "strong push" this weekend. The powers that be want this deal done by this weekend.

The strong push could be anything. I don't know what was meant by that. (More $, blowing up JG's agent's phone, etc.)

If the deal is not in place this week, it doesn't mean there will not be one. It does mean that it is much less likely though because we are going all in between now and then. We are throwing the bank at him.

If there is no "big fish" available in time, we are stuck with DD until one is available, even next year if it comes down to it.

Let's hope this "big push" works...

I stand behind this information 100%. My dad is hearing it DIRECTLY from those with their hands in the middle of it all...

But, but, but the deal was done after the Mississippi State game, and he flew into Knoxville, and he already named his coaching staff.

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

I'm the best "insider" here.

Glad I caught you here.
First, sorry about that guy snapping pics of you on the plane but the fanbase is at a frenzy over you right now.
Second, would it be okay if I walk beside you at your first Vol Walk?

Someone fill me in please? Been out of this thread all day..

 

[knoxswim890]

The reasoning for possible delay is most likely negotiating asst. coaches salaries. IF there is as much mutual interest if people claim, then he will come, as long as he can get the staff he feels most comfortable with. IMHO that would be the only thing keeping him / delaying negotiations at this point.

**Disclaimer** I have zero insider information, nor do I claim to know people who know people who know people. Just speaking logically.

 

[OrangeInKy]

No matter what has or will be done the team gave their all today and if you are Hart this shows Dooley has not lost the team. If a deal is finished then we will see a change this weekend, if there is not a deal we will not see a change this weekend.

Not sure they are playing for DD, many have plenty to lose themselves. Dont know if he lost team or not but doesnt look like they are rallying for him:

Bray: 'Everyone's always talking about 'Coach Dooley's on the hot seat.' No one really worries about that. We try to go out & play every wk'

 

[WesternKyVol]

I'd be very surprised if he is the HC on Tuesday.

 

[Grude_Dude]

Someone refresh my memory as to why this cat is not to be believed again?

OCI predicted that Phil Fulmers lap band procedure would work in reducing Phils pant size from an 84 xtra fat.....needless to say it didn't work. OCIs e-cred has suffered ever since.

Bill Dance just ran into his trailer hitch again.

So you are now saying that Dooley will not be fired next week?

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

Don't forget the "IF" part. but I feel good about it.

Oh, don't worry about me going nuts on you if it doesn't happen.
The "if" factor can be a b*tch sometimes.

 

[Obsessed]

Reason for not accepting is the position is not available yet.

Gotcha. So he can agree to terms/contract. Dooley is fired then step in. Okay. I get it.

Thank you sir

 

[peyton4heisman]

No clue. I don't know anything more than what I shared other than the names of the people my dad has been doing business with this weekend. No way I'm dropping those. But I posted everything I know that matters.

 

[WesternKyVol]

He's going all in.

Nice.

Yet another liar.

There's a few around here.

As opposed to you, who provide so much valuable insight to the situation.

Good question.
