I read the posts here and think "thank goodness" people on this board aren't negotiating contracts. Most of what I read is either "give him whatever he wants" (which actually garners no respect for our program) to "all is lost" (which is ridiculous). The balance of this size deal has to have the right numbers as well as balance....Gruden, University, Boosters, the ADept and Director. This whole thing needs to be done right. One guy bails on us now or even in a few years, and we might not have any outs or options.

This is a close range knife fight right now.. Someone made the point yesterday about going to buy a car and fiercely negotiating. This may be one of those "holdup" deals. What do we know about CJG.... Intense, determined, he likes to be in control and he likes to win. If the guy wasn't in interested in coming, he wouldn't be at the table.
You think he's gonna move to Philly now? Or San Diego? This is a dream opportunity for him and his family and he knows it. Taxes in Tennnessee...NOTHING.... Cost of living....HALF that of San Diego or Philly..or most other towns offering HC jobs.

Patience. Everyone understands the dynamic of what Tennessee fb could be, what Gruden could do, and where our program is right now. Gruden would lie to coach again, Hart definitely wnts to keep his job...

Just breathe deep and Keep saying..,"Haslam" .... Over and over again.

I'm beginning to think that the only logical explanation is the one the OGs have given us. There was no "knife fight" yesterday. Just a cleverly orchestrated ruse to make it look like JG has not agreed to become the coach of UT--yet. Whether it be because of the Bucs payment or something else, I don't know. But after some contemplation, I don't buy anything from yesterday at face value.

On another note, I need to get this done. My wife finally had "the talk" with me last night and calmly (I know, but it is true) observed that I was obsessed with this to an absurd level. And she is right...as always.

There's little chance that is actually true. While it may be the impression that he wants it there, it has been clear for a long time that he would be conducting a search this year. All administrators worth their salt are already conducting the back end work for searches long before now. No chance he's just now starting. Zero.

This is what I believe but ... UT really is THAT bad when it comes to decisions and pR sometimes.
