Well first. I would like to thank everyone for the information how to view IPA video. UT site is a great resource tool and they seriously have done a great job with the UT coverage!
The other day I posted a major breakthrough on the Gruden front. That there will be full access officially granted. Well you doubted this which i will not get into (but many didn't understand) well now you know. Less than 24 hrs media reports were flooding in and also information agreements made at UT. As of now there is no report different than another. And very likely people are taking it from the original source, including CBS/ABC.ESPN/College Football Access/
I heard Jon Gruden on the radio this morning and it is not good that he even spoke about it. Reminder!! Gruden did not go on the radio this morning to talk about the coaching search. Why? because each Wednesday he has a spot on the MandM show to talk NFL. So it was an obvious awkward spot for JG to be in.
Here is something to think. Every one knows that UT offered the deal. IT HAPPENED. UT and JG met face to face on multiple occasions. His agent met with UT admin and staff approx for 10 hours. It happened.
Jon Gruden this morning did not mention a thing about the offer.
There is nothing happening on the front of UT and JG this morning. Nothing. It's just a normal Wednesday morning. However, like I said expect that all to change after today. My sources last night said that the negotiating and time has surfaced. UT had a weekend push and another overtake in their offer to JG. There was a response but I am unaware of what it was. I do know that after today there will be nothing to add. It will be waiting for JG to sign the contract.
I do believe JG has the NFL in sight. Did the Eagles speak to JG on Monday? Possibly. Did this change JG mind? could be.
Is he using UT? No way. I know from my sources that JG really is excited to come to the SEC and UT.
OP is Gerald Riggs. He was at the Grey Cup (he actually played for Toronto during the season, but not during the Cup--not sure if he was injured or what), and his dad, Gerald Riggs Sr., works for Chattanooga ESPN radio, which would lend (some) credence to what he said about his family.
edit: To be clear, "OP is G.R." is me speculating. I don't have any facts other than him being at the Cup and his dad working for ESPN Radio Chattanooga.
