Those asking about Jay... Didn't Boro say Jay had something going on in his personal life he was taking care of, hence why he hasn't posted in awhile.

That was DTO...I haven't see Jay in several days unless I missed him.

I saw what you did there :lolabove:

 

[CMcEver]

To hire Strong will cost UT approximately $9 million minimum: 2.5 million buyout - 3.5 mill for staff - 3 mill for Strong.

To hire Gundy will cost UT approximately $10 million minumum: 3.0 million buyout - 3.5 mill for staff - 4 mill for Gundy.

Note - $3.5 mill is the amount UT is currently paying for staff per USA today!

Note 2 - Gruden wanted approx $4.5 mill for staff or thereabouts.

Total amount to close deal with Gruden was reported to be $10 million!!!

Think about that Vol fans..... Think about!!! Let it sink in!!!

Tennessee doesn's want to pay Gruden and Co. $10 mill but would pay Gundy $10 mill or Strong $9 mill!!!

The fans need to rattle the cages!!!!

Not to metion Gruden has Tennessee ties, the others guys are outsiders just like we've had for the last 4 years... **** this.

Your math is so far off it's not even funny. It was way more than that to hire Gruden.

Poor Arkansas.

At least Gruden is the only one who has turned us down publicly, I guess.

The rest seem interested, so that is a plus.

 

[VolsMan26]

Cant wait til the jon gruden vol walk!! Man feeling a grude-on

 

[gatorhator4eva]

The fact that gruden has not denied this job 100% keeps me believing. Tonight will be the decider for me. If gruden truly is out of the picture there is no reason he cant squash the rumors on espn. If he is in play, he will keep his mouth shut
Simple as that.

Think about it

 

[TechnoVol]

The REAL petrino got excited when he heard the HO part of Ida

Quoting Basilio... pretty weak right there.:lolabove:

How do you figure?

5.5 to 6 on Gruden

4 to 4.5 on Staff

Its close to 10 mil

Slow here, but I hear Hart has been in at least 6 cities spanning 4 timezones today interviewing coaches... burning up the frequent flyer miles at Superman speeds.

 

[goooooovols]

If he wears an orange tie tonight I'll be a believer once again....what are BORO, OV or DTO saying now?

 

[tmac5469]

The buyout is a one time thing you will have to pay Gruden's Staff that much for all the years they are here.

 

[DynaVol]

Resturants and hotels have been losing a lot of money the last few years I would imagine.

This translates into less money available to be donated or used to purchase advertising with UT sports.

Edited my post for correctness. Thanks.
