I've been a Gruden guy from the beginning, but I now realize it's not going to happen. Bring on Davis, Leach, or Kiffin.. In that order.

I assume you think Davis or Kiffin. Do you think Leach is even being considered. Spurrier and Tuberville are no brainers.

I think Davis or Kiffin and I don't yet buy all the commentary from Gruden. He's doing what he has to do in his position.

They need to bring in a top notch college coach. Not an NFL guy.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who were happy with their jobs but still accepted a promotion.

I know what you mean. Rumors are rumors, but there certainly was an abnormal amount of them in the past month or so around John Gruden.

That isn't a good way to look at it. The best coaches are usually NFL coaches.

I really dont care who Hamilton brings in, as long as they bring the Vols back to national dominance.

Would love to see both Kiffin's. Do you think that is possible or probable.
Gruden was my 1st pic.

I don't why everyone is getting worked up over Gruden's statements. Any coach with half a brain that has a team on the verge of winning their division and making a playoff run isn't about to admit any interest in another job. For all we know Tampa might be in the Superbowl. It would be completely different if the Bucs were last in their division or something. If he has any interest he want divulge that with the media or the fans.

The only thing that makes we think we don't have a chance now is that previous post with his responses to the UM, ND, and Ohio State job openings. The Tennessee response was definitely different - but had the same feel to it with a few interesting tweaks.. which leaves some hope. But you can't expect him to repeat the same lines over the year so I don't know.

My thought ealier today was that his comment that he'd stay as long as the Glazers would have him would be hard to dodge. Then, I thought, wait... the Glazers probably wouldn't have him if he accepted a job somewhere else.

I think it's a rehearsed response to a known inquiry--and I think he did a great job with it. Enough to dismiss the media, but not enough to dismiss the AD. That's the fine line that's hard to walk, imo.

Now, it's still hard to imagine that a guy who is coaching a playoff caliber NFL team will leave that to coach our beloved vols.

But, on our side, we need all the help we can bet out of money, Cindy, and Cindy's mom. Bascially, the more UT women we can get involved in this decision, the better our odds!

Then, we just have to hope the coach has a soft spot for leading the Big Orange back to the elite in college football.

As hard as those NFL guys work, yet some dude from Utah stumbles into Gainesville and gets all that attention in his sunshine state after his team won the SuperBowl XXXVII must be noticable to guy only two-and-one half hours away. Surely, he could find some thrill in giving a dose of reality to the 'Urban Legend', Saban, Miles, and Richt in an annual beatdown that we all know they deserve.

How could that not be more fun than the Bucs beating whoever they call a rival?
