Title: Lol, Basilio
Post by: VinnieVOL on November 23, 2012, 02:51:09 EST
I don't know why I fall back into reading and vesting in what he says.  Like many sensationalist radio/online personalities, all he does is throw stuff against the wall hoping something sticks.  And of course, whatever gets him more attention. Now, he's suggesting we've lost interest in Gruden:

So, Tony are you telling me that Gruden is more interested in Tennessee than Tennessee is interested in him? Ah, yes. I think this is exactly what I'm telling you right now. I think Gruden is highly interested in this job but UT's $$$ has some concerns about him.

You know, I read this on another board and it makes sense.  There's a theory out there that the media types were told to pipe down on the Gruden talk.  Perhaps so negotiations could commence at the desired pace?  Who knows, it's just a theory.

I do know that Ainge was all about Gruden and then about two weeks ago, it just stopped.  Does anyone else see the pattern here?  Just seems like there'd be a surge of hype then cold water splashed on us, then repeat.

My problem with Basilio is that he changes his story. Every. Single. Day. I'm sorry, but it's impossible to have sources that wave in the wind that way. I enjoy his blog and occasionally listen to his show but I find him to be completely unreliable.

My impression in this case is that he is definitely just throwing some random shizzle out there. I read a 20 page blog of the history of the gruden rumors yesterday  :crazy:.  If the number i have heard -   50m for 8 years  is accurate then  i say we have a great shot.  Canola also.  With all said gruden has a history of getting close and then backing off so :dunno:.
