Can you imagine telling someone from 1997 that Tenn got turned down by the Oklahoma State coach despite offering a huge pay raise?

It would be considered madness. Last 20 years have been a butch for Vol football.

Their recent protest ended it.

1997 would be shocked at $8.4M


The Chronicle

quote:

Spurrier, 51, who made a little more than $700,000 last year, will make $940,810 this season, not including bonuses. The payoff increases with each season: $953,810 in 1997, $1,160,669 in 1998, $1,173,315 in 1999 and $1,336,847 in 2000. The last two years are option years, and the salary will be renegotiated if both parties agree to employment.

Not sure what else Vols could do to get him. Hell of a run at him though. Just too strong of a tie to Okie St, T Boone, etc..

Without a doubt that was the most pressure he has ever felt to consider leaving. That was a class A no bullshite effort on Vols part.

so the fanbase assassinates the character of a coach who was going to be hired, potentially ruining his career going forward..... the next coach is offered the job, sees what happened to the first and says no thanks....... and its the AD's fault....


sure makes sense

Les Miles wants no part of UT. He's going to take the vacant Oregon State job. It's a better gig.

What’s funny is Gundy went to the meeting probably knowing he was gonna tell them to get fricked. Gundy trolled the shite out of UT.

You're falling for the UT AD bullshite again if you think this is a strike. It's the exact same rumor as the Gruden for 10M/yr which was already admitted to be fake. This is yet another fake story to sell a d-list coach as the only option IMO.

Gundy wanted no part of being labeled a pedophile, transgender , Nazi, or whatever else the retarded Vol fan base would have labeled him to ruin his career.
