If you think that was panic, wait until tomorrow comes and goes with no news from the meeting pertaining to what everyone on here wants to hear. Will be some meltdowns then for sure.

I still 100% want Gruden, its why I am still even posting here. I am much less certain of it being a possibility. Maybe everyone I know are wrong lol.

After a great night's sleep tonight,I'll be fine tomorrow..I always try to stay calm.:crazy:

 

[IM4TN]

Sorry for the earlier drive by. San Diego would be an attractive option NFL wise. They may make a pitch. I don't know.

I still think he ends up at UT.

Well hell, now I have no mattress to sleep on tonight.

I never have thought that meeting was going to amount to a hill of beans anyway

In my opinion, it will be far less than a hill of beans with regards to athletics and the interaction between the AD and Chancellors office.

bcarter, just keep your fingers crossed that your sources are wrong about Gruden not coming.

 

[preacherwebb]

Is bcarter the one y'all were talking about earlier that has been planted here to spread the smokescreen?

No offense bcarter, I'm just asking.

Gruden won't be going to SD. If we win out it won't matter but if the Vols lose any of the next 3 (especially Vandy) then the process of nailing down the next coach goes into hyperspeed.

 

[Coastypop]

What's the Big word today cult? is it still "Gruden"

 

[DjCrenshaw]

I hate losing football games

 

[fishing Vol]

Good Evening!

Yeah, except for a certain drive-by post that said "San Diego".:blink:

I'll have to hate on him, if he goes to SD. My blood has two oranges in it. :crossfingers:

 

[LotteryPick]

It was more of a response to a previous post that was talking about all of Gruden's NFL options.

That's what I took from it. I didn't understand the freak out, ha.

 

[247VOL365]

I'll be pulling for the Vols Saturday with all my heart, as usual, but in the back of my mind I'll be thinking "Big Grudie! Big Grudie! No Doolies, no Doolies, no Doolies, annnnnnnnd STOP!"

I am not spreading a smokescreen and I do not have dozens of sources that I trust to share here.

Ok here it is, this is why I am not as confident as before.

A person that would 100% be involved in it if it happened told me the week between Bama and USCjr that he had read the MOU and that it contained an unprecedented compensation package. He stated it was with Gruden's people. The reason I trust this guy is because I know for sure he would be involved if a MOU was drafted. Sunday night I got a text that he needed to come to my business for a meeting the next morning. Before all parties got here we were talking and I got up the nerve to ask about it (since the MOU conversation was between the owner of my business and he, I was just in the room) and he said unequivocally that Gruden had said no, returned the MOU and offer unsigned. He said it had to do with control and how the relationships between the AD and the University here would never allow the type of control he wants. He then said to the best of his knowledge Gruden is off the table.

Could he be wrong, I hope. I am just not going to go online and post everything I hear from everyone I know. Some are FOS, some want to make things up to feel like they are more important than they are.

I do know this:

1. Money is not at all an issue
2. We apparently at least had some sort of verbal acknowledgement that the figures were acceptable or close
3. The snag was not about money but about control

At this point all I can do is sit back and watch. No one else I know is talking about it at all. When I ask they say negative things. The only positivity I have seen with regards to Gruden since last weekend is on the forum.

I am not a smoke screen lol, I am just a fan that wants better than what we have. I am not too deflated because I will readily admit that although I think Gruden would be a great recruiter and face of the program, I think there are several guys in the NCAA right now that would be better "coaches".

The only thing that was depressing me is all those I know are under the assumption Dooley wins out he is back in 2013. Today some started to get back in the mindset he is gone, but I am not as sure of that as I want to be.
