IF Petersen goes to Arkansas and we get stuck with Jimbo Fisher, I will not be pleased.

I was having dinner with a few former associates of mine earlier who in conversation about our coaching situation (one is a Georgia grad, the other is a Vandy grad) mentioned to me that even if we were somehow to convince Gruden to come, there was absolutely no way he could legally do so while under contract during contractual season (MNF). He would have to wait until then to be able to sign the contract. Even still, they brought up a good point in that Gruden would not announce he is ditching ESPN during his contractual year (which can be penalized if he breaches) especially since ESPN will be airing multiple TN games per season for years to come.

So are you saying Gruden can't sign with UT until after last MNF this year or something else?

So, was Arkansas the only school in the running for Petersen? Looks like he's leaving Boise... I kind of doubt he goes to California, but stranger things have happened.

Gruden gets his last payment from TB on 12/15, the same day Hart is expected to announce a coach.

Not an insider at all, but still believing we are witnessing a huge smokescreen/cover up, and we wind up with Gruden.

Let Arky, Auburn, UK make their hires, and just when everyone thinks we've lost the coaching war, and we have to settle, or beg....

BOOM. There's Gruden. And everyone simultaneously craps their pants.

That's just a false statement.

I hope you're right, but I really thought I saw boro give up on it. I know carter did and he said he knows the other ogs offsite... I kinda got the vibe he was speaking for all of them. I certainly wouldn't mind being wrong on this one

Boro was on as late as yesterday that I saw and was definitely not off the wagon.

I don't get it. If the man wants to coach at UT, then why would leaks prove so devastating to the deal. Maybe the leaks are to put pressure on one side or the other. Maybe Hart putting the press on to look at coaches is trying to pressure Tarzan to ease up on something we can live with. I have no idea which way is up, but I think anyone with a brain can see the bogus crap from last Thursday. Come on man. Out of the blue K-news, which said Gruden was a fairy tale, suddenly announces Gruden cancelled meeting? Would Gruden even come to campus unless it's a done deal? Then Hart touches base with Grud's agent who makes us look stupid. What's the angle there, did Grud send a message back with his agent's reply? Lot of things don't add up and you'd think someone other than the Chattanooga reporter would at least question how stupid that all went done last week. Maybe the deal crashed, maybe Grud got $10M to coach the Chargers, but there's a lot more to this story than meets the eye. I hope it all ends well for UT.

You are absolutely right, nothing adds up, smells very fishy, and Gruden's agent comes out with a statement like "fantasy world" and what's it do? It really starts making us second guess everything, most people believe it and bail out bc this was a huge hit to our pride. Now most people have just gave up and aren't even looking at all the things adding up and saying well obviously he's not interested bc why would his agent say that? I believe This is exactly what the wanted to happen. And honestly it worked like a charm.

For those that are starting to wake up and realizing this isn't adding up I applaud you. Now let's just keep the faith and not worry about "new" information and look at all the info we have already been given.

I believe all this will make since when it's all over!

ps. Sorry if I rambled or repeated myself a lot, I'm trying to do this on mobile (which is near impossible to scroll up and see what you've wrote) and I'm all jacked up on Starbucks!

I just had a thought. I have not seen babyavi post in sometime. I think he has created a new account and he's trolling the ever loving chit outta us. Think about it. I few of these posters show up outta no where after Friday and are giving us these little nuggets of info. I'm just thinking out loud.
