Horns247 Board

Anyone know of anybody who will be at this luncheon and can provide a full update?

Hope Jerry stays. Understand all the fan's emotional responses, but IMO Jerry Gray should do what he most desires for he and his family. Regardless of how that happens, he will always be Longhorn of great distinction. Let's be proud of him and treat him with the respect he deserves. Longhorn fans have long prided themselves as examples of fervent but classy passion. Now we have the chance to prove it, regardless of potential temporary hurt feelings. Best of luck to Jerry and here's hoping he is wearing Burnt Orange on the sidelines this coming season.

It certainly improves the odds that he won't be interviewing with the Titans this afternoon!

I'm a little bit shocked at the vitriol being hurled toward Gray when he hasn't actually done anything yet. I would expect that from aggies, but it's a little disheartening coming from fellow Horns. The guy is an alum and obviously a stand up guy from all that I've read about him. I'm sure this is a difficult decision for him and as fellow longhorns, I would hope that we would want to see a fellow alum succeed rather than hold him back from his goals. As a family man, I'm sure that one of his main (if not THE main) goals in life is to provide the best life for his family. How many of you are in a position to turn down a guaranteed salary of 1M per year? I'm not. Sometimes in life when you think you have things figured out, things change. It's not like Gray sought this Tennessee job out. It fell in his lap. He'd be a fool not to at least check it out and see if it would be better for him and his family. For all we know, he may be doing this interview as a courtesy to his friend. Either way, I personally wish him the best of luck and no hard feelings.
