How much do you think it costs UT to actually put on a home game for 102,000 people? The "profit money" is probably not anywhere close as much as you think it is. Add to that most of our OOC home games of late have been us cutting the other team a 500,000.00-800,000.00 check. No doubt UT makes money. I just can't see UT spending 9+ million a year for coaches. They have never shown they would pay top SEC HC type money. We'll see.

Well they better start showing now. It's a different era in football that cheap hill billy stuff gets you an 0-6 SEC record.

Please explain to me...if Gruden wants 51 million for 8 years, that is 6.375 million a year, and wants to hire Raheem Morris for 1.5 million per year and hire Chad Morris for 1.5 million a year...that is 9.375 million just going to 3 coaches.

Now the "insiders" say big boosters have agreed to pay 9 million for next coaching staff...

EXPLAIN to me how the other coaches are to be paid OR are we just going to have 3 coaches...

Rumor has it that they will be paid in gum. Trident Layers to be precise.

The money would come when the wins come in. Donors will open the wallets a bit more, ticket sales increase, licensed product sales would increase, ...

Link?

Oh right, it's another rumor. You don't know shat.

Calm down and wait till there is an announcement.

Regardless, if Tennessee is unwilling to spend the money to get the program back where it needs to be, then look to Boulder for a glimpse into the future.

Its just like all the bandwagon Alabama fans the last few years infusing the program with millions by buying merchandise. Winning a lot of games and a rock star coach brings the money. If Gruden builds it, they will come..

Morris will not be our OC. I can see Jeremy Bates in that Role.

Will be such a disappointment people won't be happy if we don't get him. I hope he comes just as much as the next guy but if he doesn't we have to be realistic.

I am a Tennessee Vol Fan for life living on the southeast coast of NC and last week there was a confirmed sighting of Coach Gruden in our area. A bunch of us were at a local sports bar and we all spotted him right there on MNF. Just hope his next confirmed sighting is getting off a plane at TYS!

Hey listen you have to go big or go home...the fanbase, the program and players they deserve better. It's time to restore the brand. Tennessee has a rich tradition and what we've learned now is that you can't nickel and dime that tradition if you want to win.

I want Gruden as much as the next guy, but my fear is.
We get him pay out a ton of $$$$. Then if we don't get the results that we expect how long before we run him out of town. Then we are really going to be in financial trouble. I don't believe any guarantee win's anymore and please don't tell me that if he comes in here and lose's that we will not be to say it nicely "upset".
