Yes, because if it is then this is way closer to being done than I thought and that someone is misleading my source. I could care less about anything other than Gruden somehow becoming our coach. If that means my friend gets lied to and then I get bad information because of it then that is an easy trade off.

Oh, okay.
 
This pretty much sums up the state of UT football...Alabama has a championship turn over belt..GA had mean spiked shoulder pads...we have a trash can..smh

In what way?

Like his sources aren't what they used to be?

Im an old timer been around a while but kind of come and go so I'm not up to speed.

He just tends to be grumpy and sometimes negative. I think that's what Knucklehead is referring to.

I could understand negativity given the current state of the football program.

I do remember him being a little abrasive and direct though.
 
Ok, let's think about this a bit. Gruden built the Raiders from scratch and took it to multiple playoff appearances. He got beaten by the Ravens and Patriots teams that went on to win the Super Bowl. Remember the "tuck rule" play in the New England snow? That Raiders team deserved a win there and should have gone to the Super Bowl. He was then traded to the Bucs and he retooled tier stagnant offense into a record breaking scoring machine that won the Super Bowl in his first year. He then took that team thru salary cap he'll and managed two more playoff appearances one in which he was beaten by the Giants team that won the Super Bowl and ended the Patriots perfect season.
The mans only coached three losing seasons and that was during horrible cap issues.

So here's some facts...
Fact... Gruden coached as a grad assistant at UT.
Fact... his wife is from Tn and was a cheerleader there.
Fact... his son attends UT
Fact... he owns property in Tennessee
Fact... His family, her parents live in Tennessee

Fact... Gruden has said he wanted to coach again...
Fact... ESPN is tanking...
Fact... MNF is tanking
Fact... Gruden says his Dream Job is coaching the VOLS...
Fact... VOLS made a half hearted cheap run at him last time and failed... it even got so far that he was vetting assistants
Fact... VOLS bring in more revenue money then anyone in college football next to Texas... $115 million ish a year...
Fact... money isn't a problem this time
FACT... VOLS are looking to someone with VFL connections to the program...

Fact... Tennessee HAS to make a BIG SPLASH HIRE!!!

Fact... That hire needs to be someone that isn't committed to another coaching job and can start talking to recruits ASAP...

WHO DOES THAT POINT TO THE MOST???

JON GRUDEN

THE GRUDE IS COMING!!!

SOOOOOON!
