The Butch Jones Doomsday Clock is now the Jeremy Pruitt Doomsday Clock

if they are equal, it means we are saving however much we would have paid an interim coach and avoiding forcing a hire in COVID January. It's still a good deal. Like getting to start on the buyout while getting a free season

 

I'd say the only time I'll be watching them next year is if I have literally nothing else to do. Not gonna be dramatic and say I won't ever watch, but I promise I won't be changing the most minor of plans to work around another UT football game for a very long time. I just can't muster a [uck fay] to give.

 

How decreased we talking?

$1M raise offset by a $10M decrease in buyout. No mass exodus via transfer portal and a revamped staff has some logic to it, IMO.

Feels like there's a real risk of forfeiting the 2022 in state class if you don't get a couple of big commitments from influential kids. Idk man.

 

Yeah, I'll watch if it's a late kick on a Saturday night and I don't have shit going on. I'll not waste 3-4 hours in the middle of the day on a Saturday to watch this ignorant [uck fay] bumble his way through another season.

 

I never said this was going to happen or was even a possibility, I just wondered what y'all would say about it.

 

CPA. Always be thinking numbers.

 

You’re killing us, Card!

 

Tease.

 

Now I'm depressed.

 

I’m wise to your games

 

i would say your info was 100% incorrect. I am NOT an insider but I say he’s gone by Monday. And I will stand by that prediction until it is Tuesday of our next 2021 game week.

 

No I didn’t read ahead. I savor every moment in hopes of “breaking”

 

And for the record, I am learning that I was less aware of Peyton’s influence on past hires. And I am not sure I want him involved. There! I said it.

 

He signed off on Schiano

 

And did he convince Butch to pass on Colorado?

 

Peyton hasn’t done [penis] for Tennessee since Auburn in ‘97.

 

it is the only inside info I've ever known, I know it for a fact. at least, as much of a fact for me with not literally being in the room. He told CU to hire Butch. He then told Butch to go to UT mere days later when things changed with UT's search. Pissed off the CU bigwigs massively

 

Considering the track record of our hires, if he did have that much influence, then I want him to sit this one out. If he wants to be involved, just let him donate some cash and that's it. JMO of course.

 

That’s the point I was making. Peyton is supposed to be our ace in the hole ambassador, yet has poor judgment in coaching candidates. So I don’t want him involved.

 

And I am trying to figure out if Peyton is part of the problem. Maybe he wants to be the most famous football figure at UT. I don’t know. I am just trying to sort it out. And I feel about Marrone like I did DeBord. Please no
