Come home.

There's a difference between being a vagina and a female

 

I used to but now I never want to know, I'm content in my ignorance on this one. I hate it for those that actually know what went down. If found out to be true of what was being said about JG wanting to come here (with concrete evidence), I'd probably never look at Tennessee athletics the same ever again.

I can deal with the hearsay.

 

It sucks

 

It would drive me nuts.

 

I'm one that would like to hear the details.

I have never understood why it is described in terms of innuendos and inferences rarher than just spelling it out.

 

Especially after 4 years. While it was happening is understandable. Now, don't see the harm in spilling the beans. If anything, we should want as much info available to the masses as possible.

Imagine arming the fan base with the idea that Gruden was a reality and not just an Internet rumor?

 

It was spelled out in a thread last season. I'll try to link it if I can.

 

There were a lot of things said, maybe I missed it but I don't recall anyone really coming out and saying exactly what happened.

 

My wife didn't believe it until last year when someone asked me about it and I still stood firm.

We were somewhere a few days ago and she asked people to stop tallying about it because she could tell I was about to cry.

Where in in the 17 pages am I supposed to be looking?

 

Midway through maybe

 

A group of boosters had a deal worked out with Gruden. Hart, Haslam and a few others opposed it. Cheek "gifted" the athletic department the exact amount of money spent on Butch and his "best staff in America".

Hart called Butch, met him, hired him and had him in Knoxville within 36 hours

 

The main reason for the ones opposing Gruden was something to do with being more lenient on letting certain kids into school ? I can't remember. I don't understand why Haslam would have opposed it.

You're better off.

 

When's the last time the Haslams did anything that made sense?

 

That is the gist of it, from what I can tell. When the topic comes up, there are sometimes comments about "all the details" or "the full story" as if there is a lot more to it.

It would be interesting to know how far along things really were. If JG and a booster had a chat and essentially agreed on a number, that is one level, and may indicate curiosity but not a real commitment. If many details had been worked out, memorandum of intent (?) had been signed, pieces were being put in place, both parties clearly were committed to making it happen and then the rug got pulled out, that is another level entirely.

 

He was building a staff. And it was so far along that one of them resigned his position.

 

I've still got friends that give me shit for believing the Internet Grumors... I've stopped talking UT with them completely or lifelong friendships would have been flushed.

 

Yep, it was done
