[warrior]

I'm hding out hope until someone else is announced...

Looks like we got ole Charlie a pay raise. Hart spreading the love. Watch ya think about Strong getting Lamonte s help as an agent here in a couple of years. If you are wondering what I mean, go look at the U of L AD statement in the thread down there somewhere.

 

[twotofly]

Your thinking Ron Higgons.

You're correct. It looks like Higdon covers Florida for Scout.

http://www.dawgtalkers.net/uploads/2009 NFL Anti-Tampering Policy.pdf

NFL Anti-Tampering Policy:

Under Contract. During a club’s playing season, including postseason if
applicable (excluding Pro Bowl), the following actions are prohibited
concerning a head coach who is under contract, unless the involved head
coach has been dismissed by his club: (1) No head coach may discuss or
accept employment for the current or a future season with another club in the
League; (2) no club may request permission to discuss employment with a
head coach for the current or a future season; and....

Now Gruden may not technically count as a head-coach since he's not currently employed as a coach, but even still, this walks a fine, fine line from violating the anti-tampering policy. I see no validity in these NFL rumors until their season officially ends. It's just always worked that way.

Nice :good!:

I will never leave. Winters will come and go, mountains will fall victim to the wind, and rivers will dry before I ever leave this abandon this thread.

Dude he is at Louisville, 4 stars shouldn't even consider Louisville

 

[Vol-in-Bham]

Kind of hard to believe Chip Kelly is only making $2.8 million per year... that is unreal with all the Nike money in that program.

 

[VolsMan26]

@Jason_Higdon: and Charlie Strong will announce Wed he is staying with Louisville....[/QUO

Bump for the strong men out there!!

 

[Coastypop]

We need to make this happen no matter what happens.

I'm In... name the time and place!

 

[MACGRUDER]

If you read further you will see that the rules apply to terminated coaches as well. And you cannot talk to other coaches for prospective jobs during the season - huge no - no.

I have been saying this for days and posted the rules and provided a link. Some read - most ignored, like paladin.

Yeah, you and I were telling the same guy the same stuff, he just didn't want to listen. I'm way more knowledgeable about the NFL than I am with college, and I know there's no chance in Hell Gruden is talking to NFL teams right now, at least in a degree that would be under the public eye.

 

[knucklehead_vol]

I think it is criminal that we haven't offered Shaw. He is a long shot, but before today, Bielema was never going to leave Wisconsin. For 4 mil, he may have taken a shot at the SEC.

+1.

Whew ok..I believe Larry Fedora is meeting with Tennessee and Charlie Strong will announce Wed he is staying with Louisville....

Jason Higdon ‏@Jason_Higdon
yes, I understand what everyone including ESPN is reporting. I guess I am standing alone on this one folks. lonely on this ledge

If we don't get Gruden...we are going to end up with Dooley all over again. That's become cliche'.

 

[VolGirlinGA]

I told ya'll to regroup for the second wave...there was no timeline for that either...and today it came...

I was not involved

Someone just mentioned this, but it felt like the Alamo in here earlier. Such an onslaught of negativity. The OGs pushing back further and further into the mission, slowly picking off the attackers.

Here's hoping things end up better here than at the actual Alamo.

How many 6-stars did he bring in?

 

[crparker21]

If we pay 4 mill. A year for strong, I will punch a hole through the wall

Im finding bruin and punching a hole in his wall.

 

[1world1love]

for comparison:

Bryan Fischer‏@BryanDFischer

So per AP, Bielema's contract is 6yrs, $3.2m per. Would be 3rd in Big Ten behind Meyer/Ferentz, 4th in SEC.

Bielema is far more experienced and he's only getting 3.2

Unbelievable. So we could have hired Bielema for $3.2mil?

That makes me even more upset about Strong. Hart really is a doosh.

 

[RagingOrange]

I believe...

Sir, we need to inspect your meds...whats up?

I hope so. The defenders of the Alamo all perished.

Raiders GM is a VFL. This looks like more smoke possibly due to the media focus on our search as the last open job in the SEC. They're playing off Gruden's return to the Black Hole for MNF earlier this season.

Not to mention NFL tampering due to talking to current assistants as the future Vols HC if he tries to go back pro. Oh, don't forget the 'exclusive' ESPN contract that is supposed to keep him out of the NFL until 2016 due to the access he's given to teams for MNF.

Raiders Organization has a number of Vols in their ranks.

 

[Gruuden]

There is enough 4 stars to go around. Even in KY.
My point being.. why be excited over mediocrity?

Petrino's classes say otherwise.
