Really? Daaang.

I'm not opposed to paying 60 bucks but I figured since I hadn't played it, it might be worth getting an older one cheaper because it'll still be new to me :p

Do you know what order they've come out in and which are your favorites?

Their biggest argument against us getting Gruden is they say we are broke and they aren't. They also seem to think we will not hire a big named coach. They try to ignore any of the connections JG has to Tennessee probably because the lack of connections he has with them.

If they get him...congrats on pulling it off but IMO there is 0% of that happening. We will see!

If I were Hart, I'd accept advice and money from the powerful boosters, even solicit their input.

But make no mistake...If he accepts a coaching candidate that is forced upon him by the boosters and that candidate fails, he's the one left holding the bag of **** and it's his job on the line. The boosters get to keep on being boosters long after the AD is fired.

I think he'd definitely be on board with Gruden. But let's not get crazy here. Any AD worth his salt makes his/her own decisions and doesn't get force-fed a candidate just because the boosters say so, because those same boosters will turn on the AD quicker than they'll give him money.

Excellent point. I just pray he is the right person for this particular job at this very crucial time in the history of UT football. It's a huge responsibility.

Basilio said on his blog today that Hart has not hired a football coach in 20 years. It was Steve Logan at East Carolina in 1992. Just let that sink in folks.

That is why I was so underwhelmed when UT hired Smart. My immediate response was that he hadn't hired either Bowden or Saban. The one thing that kept me positive about it was that he at least saw firsthand, at Bama, what spending money to get a top football coach can lead to.

The Pigs can't compete with our facilities, Tradition, or Money from Boosters so they think they have Gruden ready To sign huh?

If Hart is set on Smart, the boosters need to step in. Sorry, but Smart is not the answer. That kind of thinking is what got us into this mess.

I'm not saying that, Godfatha. Just commenting that the AD needs to make his own decision because, when all is said and done, the success or failure of the hire is going to be on him, not the boosters.

I'm not on board with a Smart hire (yet), as I truly believe Grudes is the right guy. But Hart has to decide for himself because it's his job that's on the line with this hire.
