The last coach search and big gruden rumors we're a blast, I was kind day Wondering how it would be this time...seems like more people believe...I remembered last time there was supposedly an actual position staff with names being mentioned before he "backed" out. Seems it's getting close to that time again. Lol

If you don't take it too seriously it's fun. Some people got their feelings hurt when it didn't happen, then you have people that get almost furious because others believed it. Quite comical.

I think it speaks volumes about the power of UT. Many of these kids were drawn to UT not just the coaches. It also shows that UT recruits itself better than most want to admit.

Makes me realize Jon Gruden likely wouldn't even have to leave the state of TN to sign top 5 classes every year. The university and his name alone would be enough. Get the kids to visit and it's over.

I agree.

Another long time poster on VQ posted in same thread said he heard the same about a staff being put together...

Marc Trestman. He was Gru’s QB Coach in Oakland and currently makes $600k as head coach for Argos. Heard today that Gru has been told money isn’t an issue. He can put together the staff HE wants if he will take the job. Money is lined up.

Sounds like he must know Trestman or someone close to him.

Yeah, I remember posters coming in there and giving us lectures because people believed Gruden was coming.

For me, it's fun to think there's a chance. It is certainly better than moping around because your coach didn't work out and your team is imploding.

True. As fans we will basically take anything right now.

What's our record if big Jon Gruden is leading the vols next year? I'll say 9-3, 5-3 with a top 3 recruiting class coming in.

The thing about this go round, there are some good coaches to consider. Even if we don't get Gruden, i seriously think we will get an upgrade.

I'm not implying anything. I think it's odd we haven't seen the class completely blow up. I do think they are being told to wait for something that could be really good. Not any specifics though.

I know you weren't. I think what Ron said is correct, speaks to the caliber of this program, etc etc.

It's weird to even think about Gruden losing 3 games, lol. Imagine if he slipped up and lost to Stoops or something. The meltdown would be insane. Mystique and shine instantly gone.

Right now he just seems impervious to the mistakes we saw our previous coaches made, but it's a guarantee that he'll have some head scratching moments of his own.
