One of my regulars comes into the bar last night with a guy I've never met before. They are both UT fans and we start the usual "who's gonna be the new coach?" conversation. We talked about Strong and Gundy for a little while and right before they leave the guy who I just met says that he is privy to some Gruden info. He proceeds to tell me that UT has a big booster who used to be in the railroad business (Norfolk Southern I think he said), but now the guy owns his own alarm company or security company (anybody have any idea who that would be?). Anyway, the guy tells me that he was in the room when his boss, who is friends with the unknown booster, is on a speaker phone call with said booster. This was Friday or Saturday, after the Gruden **** storm went down. The booster tells his boss that Gruden is still in fact coming. That the money for assistants isn't a problem because the boosters, himself included, have agreed to pay whatever is necessary. He then says that Gruden wants to finish out MNF and that after that he will in fact be our next coach.
Again, I don't know this guy at all. I really don't know why he would make this up, considering he brought up Gruden, not me. But there it is. Take it with a grain of salt.
