Heard the Gruden deal from someone on the UT side this evening.

Was told it is $7.5M base.

Wouldn’t read too much in to whether he’s fired tomorrow or not. Before the game I was told it was 50/50 this week or after the next loss.


A well known insider on VolNation posted today that Gruden said no twice this week and we were moving on to Scott Frost. Not doubting what you've said, I've just heard so many different things it's hard to know what's real and what's fake

No idea about that. I don’t post or really even read on any other sites.

I just try and bring some of what I hear to the board but obviously situations like this are much more secretive and subject to change than most day to day stuff that goes on in the program.

Bro, you just laid your twig and berries on the line with this one. Hope to god you're right but I respect the full monty ball-deep prediction even if I still find it hard to believe he'd give up such a sweet/easy gig.

LWS? If so he's been on the outs since Phil got canned. Still has limited connections but he's admitted to guessing bout the search - doesn't trust the admin.

EDIT: Just checked that thread and thee 'insiders' LWS, JAV, and someone else have all said they hear this morning (same as when you heard the opposite) that Gruden would NOT be our coach. Soooo It's a little more than just

That said, they're saying nearly identical things and one of Larry's 'reasons' just doesn't make sense -- says Gruden has too any friends here - wtf???!!! He's also said a ton of things in various Gruden/hiring threads so there's that too.

So VF30, any updates?? Can you at least give us a notion of where your info came from?/when

I don't buy LWS's info, been misled too many times


ETA: I should clarify that I'm not saying I necessarily think he's wrong just that I'm not gonna repeat that info to anyone else with any confidence that it's true. Not that I would list his name or anything but I'd repeat what Volfan has said and repeat it with confidence that he was told what he says to have been told

LWS also said we don’t spend 2 million on a coach. He has some sources, but he’s lying.

He said he he spoke to someone who spoke to Gruden last Sunday. I still have my doubts too, but that seems like a solid source.

In other news, this thread is now being linked to reddit .

Chances of Gruden coaching at UT are about the same if Saban retired yesterday and signed on with UT. Just ain't happening. Don't get me wrong, I would give both my nuts to jump on the Gruden train but common sense must dictate. I do agree that the next hire should see the checkbook opened wide.

Isn't this the guy that has been out of the loop since Phil was fired and can't take a stance on anything?

Link me up. The tweet has since been deleted, but I remember seeing that the dude actually stole it from someone else.

I need that video in my life. It's the only thing that brings me joy while he is still employed.

volfan is getting a rep:

How the frick does this random arse guy know so much stuff?

If we get to Defcon 1, I am expecting a new batch of VOLS.
