That is why we have the Cliff Notes on Gruden, it is all in that thread as far as how things will happen.

No offense but the topic has been talked about in the other Gruden thread.

Yeah I have read that. I wanted your reasoning of why it was going to be "epic".

Last week Ainge was lieing to protect gruden so he could fulfill his obligation with espn in peace according to you insider guys. Not one mention of protecting DD last week.

No one said anything about protecting DD, don't twist things up. We said he backed off full Gruden because we had no coaching vacancy.

Funny thing DD gets fired and Ainge is full Gruden today.

I am big time pro-Gruden, don't get me wrong. But I also know that a 50 million dollar hire that does't work out will likely push our Athletics Department over the brink.

I was listening to Hyams this morning and he addressed this issue about the financial situation within the AD. His perspective matched what other print media have outlined about the UT financial situation.

In a way this is a tempest in a teapot saga. UT has plenty of income, but is low on cash reserves. According to everything that I have heard and read, UT is the only school in the SEC that operates with our specific financial model. The administration, for years, has siphoned off over 21 million dollars/year to go into the academic side of the university and what we are seeing shows that this model is unsustainable. That is probably why few, if any, other successful SEC schools utilize that form of financial redistribution. It also appears that this reverse flow of funds is coming to an end.

If all of that is true, and this methodology is ending, with that 21 million a year UT could more than fund the buyout of the current staff, pay a very expensive new staff, and still build the depleted cash reserves. It isn't like the AD is broke, there is still a huge amount of revenue coming into the university through the football program and that is slated to increase with the new TV contracts.

Basically the University was killing the golden egg laying goose.

Yall, it is time for us to began the slow invasion of the FF forum. Post on a thread or two over there today. Drive Byes just to let them know.



Gruden is Coming.

Because everyone already knew DD was gone. I don't see where you're trying to go with this.

I have said from the beginning that Ainge hasn't been knowingly participating in this smokescreen notion. Ainge back on the gruden train now proves that is correct because the reason for that smokescreen given by the insiders has now changed with Ainge breaking ranks.

Per tonybasilio.com

(Paraphrasing)

Gruden has been receiving weekley film updates and been studying with his film guru buddy

Still we know he is tacitly recruiting a staff and he's also keeping close tabs on the UT program by having weekly film reviews of UT games at his Florida home with a coaching film geek buddy. They have been breaking down UT games for weeks according to a source close to Gruden. Interesting.

There's the exact words.
