Stuttering isn't the only problem Roger has. They KNOW him and his situation and that's why they give a little "preferential" to him.

Can't believe that is an issue with anyone. Geez.

If there are truth to the rumors about the TB payment, that would be one reason for a delay, albeit a brief one. And if the comments in the recent post about Gruden's bowl broadcasting schedule is accurate, they might be negotiating their way out of his ESPN contract. It is quite possible that contract contains complicated escape language, even if he was to leave for a college gig.

I don't know, but it's not unreasonable to assume their is something we simply aren't aware of.

There may indeed be much truth to this post, maybe the deal is way more complicated than we assume, particularly in the breaking of contracts

From TOS, was sent to me in a text message.

I have no actual evidence that this is true or if it's already been posted (not reading through 700 pages of the craziness), but it sounds cool.

A deal is on the table, agreed upon in principle by both parties, an 8 year contract worth $ 54 million.

The Haslam family has also chipped in an ownership
share of the Cleveland Browns for Gruden, the Browns of course, being the newest Haslam family business venture.

Gruden is waiting out his Tampa Bay buyout payments, which conclude in early December.

Gruden is assembling a top shelf staff, including Raheem Morris. His staff will firm him up on NCAA rules, recruiting, and the like.

Gruden and Dooley are close. Gruden has made it clear he wanted some "buffer" between his announcement and Dooley's firing, to avoid further embarrassment to Dooley.

The big money (and I mean big money) donors and boosters have instructed Dave Hart to back up the Wells Fargo truck to Gruden's house and make this happen.

The issue of "control" is being used as a smokescreen. Gruden will have football program say-so over any and every thing he wishes, short of any academic regulations or NCAA rules violations. Carte Blanche.

Yes, Gruden has it made at ESPN, but is itching to get back on the sidelines. The only college job he is even considering is Tennessee. He quickly thanks but no thanksed Arkansas (notice he has not done this to Tennessee).

Johnny Majors and Peyton Manning have aggressively lobbied Gruden to take the job.

There is a University of Dayton (Gruden's alma mater) annual alumni event this Saturday. Gruden has spoken at this event every year for the last 9 years. He has cancelled this year with a vague "scheduling conflict" excuse. His replacement speaker, Chuck Noll, let slip that "I guess Jon will be in Knoxville
next weekend..."

I know for a fact they piggyback off of pay sites and these forums. Go to Rays ESG & buy Cavalrus(sp?) a shot & he will tell you all about it.

I'm not a very good speaker, everyone at the drive thru calls me mam, I do not call talk radio shows.

Roger has far worse issues than just a stutter. He does make the Sports Animal harder to listen to, as if it wasn't hard enough just listening to DJ&H cackle or Vinny Ferarra say "Also, too, as well" in just about every freaking sentence. I feel for Roger. I had a conversation with Will West about him one day at a remote. Calling those shows is the highlight of his day.
