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, 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..."

Not that I have any credibility established and I refuse to even hint at my source for a myriad of reasons (although I have every reason to believe him, regardless TIFWIW) but I have heard something very similar as far as money and staff are concerned. The timeline differs but that is likely the most fluid aspect of the entire thing.

Jon
Jay G (still find this mind boggling and harder to believe than Jon coming) as OC.
Morris as DC
Tee coming back.
Pittman up in the air.
Graham retained.

8 years at 54 Mil was exactly what I heard.

Granted this was all told me a couple weeks ago. The source and I remain firm on Gruden and the price. The staff we hope is true and I was 100% on that at first (spent $80 at the bar in celebration after breaking open my coveted Pappy 23) but both my source and I are cautious regarding the staff as we haven't heard anything since.

Gruden is coming.

So ready to get our coaching hire over with.

Assumed Dooley was out since the Miss State game so it feels like it's been an eternity waiting on a new coach.

Can some enterprising Volnation G. Gordon Liddy enter the football admin offices late night and Watergate the sh*t out of some secret coaching search files?

The pain has gone on long enough. Fans are at each others throats.

Congressman Huler, are you suggesting breaking and entering?

Just doesn't make sense why Josh Helmholdt would make a post on Volquest and say Laquon Treadwell was visted by a Tennessee coach this morning but couldn't give him the name. It's now been 8 hours since that post and nothing has come of it.

Where did you get the Pappy 23? I'm hunting for at least a bottle of 15yr right now.
