Due diligence vetting of a list of names (it's a good list!) has begun. Back channel communications with Gruden have also taken place, that's what led to the "bumps" with AD folks over the weekend.
I dont even care if Gruden will be coach now or not but somebody please tell me Butch Jones will not be our football coach next year. Jimmy Hyams is leaning he will be. If so Currie needs to be fired as well. I have already accepted fact that the Gru probably will not ever be the Vols coach. But no more Butchisms please
This is what makes me think there were 2 dinners, and that they are being confused. Early on I, like last Wed. or Thurs., I heard he reserved a room at Calhoun's for dinner. Then there is talk of a dinner at Ruth's Chris. All the people trying to squash are fun are talking about one dinner, and the other dinner is where he told the very few present......"Soon"
That's my belief and I choose to ignore all the other BS hahaha.
I'm not naive. I believe feelers and back channel work is being done. But I also believe our Hc has to be fired first. Then the excitement on our new hire can get real.
I'm in. But patient.
At this point, I think it is more likely than not that Gruden will be the next football coach for Tennessee. Of course, that was the case last time if not for Dave Hart making an abomination of the entire thing. One thing is for sure - It will not be for lack of effort, unlike last time.

Ive made a list of everyone in this thread, if Butch isnt fired by the time I get off work in the morning, Im gonna have to virtually whoop everybody.
No offense but I think you believe that because that is what has happened our last two hires. I don't think it will go down that way with a splash hire. Which is what all signs are pointing too.
I like the way Currie SEEMS to be playing this. Quiet. I don't think our head coach has to be fired before he can work out a deal verbally with the next coa... I mean Gruden.
