[QUOTE="PalsPal, post: 4499239, member: 12242"] Pure GOLD! [b][i]"You could do a movie on the politics that happened behind the scenes. Let me say this, if Currie wants to come and announce this whole Gruden signing like he was the one spear heading it then I will tell you now he is full of ****. The current academic administration at UT is essentially a cancer on the athletics program. If you want to know why we are a current dumpster fire then look no farther than the Academic administration and the halfwit AD’s they hire to be yes men. This deal was brute forced in by the Big boosters and power players of UT with a tremendous amount of friction from the AD and AA. Hiring Gruden will bring much more revenue to UT athletics than what his contract and Butch’s buyout costs (Look at Alabama and Saban). The economics easily work out in the favor of UT without Boosters footing the bill but the administration essentially made big donors pay every damn penny of the buyout and the salary increase that we are going to have to pay Gruden under threat of veto. Even then, the big donors had to vow to stop donating to UT if the AA wouldn’t accept Gruden." Coalition of Boosters forced Gruden to be top choice. Currie is still the one to hire the coach. They were going to keep offering until Gruden ran from the table, thankfully he agreed to the deal. I didn’t have the full context of the offers or the politics behind them until today. Don’t be alarmed by references to Search Committees, The committee already has its answer and contract terms before it even started. It will be a fun dog and pony show to watch but it won’t last long before Gruden is announced. Soon.[/i][/b] [/QUOTE]
