Still, this is Hart and his inner circle doing things, so any info on any candidate is coming from the fringe and people around candidates, not from the UTAD.

In general, an MOU is like a "pre-contract". In some cases it is binding, but not in all cases. In any case, it lays out the basic terms of an agreement and forms the basis for the final contract.

In coaching, this last point is important, because contracts (especially for state schools) take a LONG time to draft and finalize. Usually way longer than a school can wait for a coach to start work.

The status quo is that an MOU is drafted and signed and a coach can get into the HR system and start getting paid and accessing facilities, etc. There is a lot of trust attached to the MOU in these cases.

Dooley worked under an MOU for 3 months. Mike Price only ever had an MOU at Alabama and was fired with nothing but an MOU in place.

Every coach out there coaches under an MOU at some point. The hiring process in coaching depends on it.

Excellent post. I am an attorney, and I have drafted MOUs. This is a good summary. As other posters have mentioned, MOUs are technically enforceable, depending on the language in the document. However, they are very rarely litigated, and as 1world mentioned, parties typically abide by their provisions. They really are foundational to the hiring process.

With respect to Gruden's MOU, there is no way for us to know at this point just how enforceable it would be, because we don't know what kind of language it contains in that regard. I CAN say that Dooley would not have to be publicly terminated in order for the MOU to be effective as between UT and JG.

IMO, the fact that our OGs are convinced a MOU has been executed is significant. Once these things are signed, it is rare that the hire does not go through. Thanks to all you guys who have been bringing the behind-the-scenes info and who haven't backed down! :hi:

I feel like the boosters who want Gruden(the majority) are where most of our insiders get info. All the others get it from boosters who want someone else.

When Gruden is announced as HC, will women across Tennessee be Gruvulating? If so, there could be a lot of baby Chuckies being born next year.

When Gruden is announced as the king of Tennessee, I will have swelling a handful of ibuprofen and an ice pack couldn't fix. :rock:
