Always says, “Butch Jones Show” on mine. But, you’re correct - “UT Coaches Show” on Comcast as well.

His premise, I think is Jones is done, Gruden will happen because the boosters, and to a lesser degree the fans, will force the hand to finally hire Gruden. Gruden is not 100%, but it's not 0% either.

I can see this..... but the issue is he has steadily fed us a diet of "Relax, it's a done deal, stop worrying, etc" Makes it kinda of difficult to back up from those words.

I trust your opinion far more than His but I don't intend to follow a pipe dream for ever.... either it is DONE and WE HAVE Gruden... just like MIT posted or we have a Good chance at getting him ...It can't be both

None of this is directed at you... just venting my frustrations because many seem to continually lower the bar for MIT...... I saw this same thing in 2012 and we all know where that went..... I hope it turns out better this time....

Yeah I've noticed on this forum, or the gruden threads atleast, people use the term trolling to define truth also. I've actually seen people say they believe the person has factual info and is giving this factual info to us, but trolling....

I don't mean to point anyone out, but the posters who do this I don't think understand what the trolling term is meant for.

Trolling can be spreading fake BS or it can also be incessant posting of facts with spin to antagonize, provoke a response or promote an agenda.

Does it make you feel good to come up with BS?

Just reporting what I was told by a Bama fan who happens to work for 247sports.com and trust me, when it comes to recruiting he is normally money every time where kids are going to college or committing to. I am no insider or hang out with boosters or even care to. I am just posting what was said and what I was told as I thought it was interesting coming from a huge Bama fan season ticket holder and recruiting writer for 247sports.com

Hopefully his ass is gone today but we're at 5 losses now, beginning to think it might not happen till after loss 7 now. I just don't see what Currie sees in the guy to keep him. Really Interested in what the crowd will be at the southern miss game if Butch is still leading the guys out of the tunnel....

Many times now the question has been asked about the betting closing at noon on Halloween. Can anyone explain why that might be?

Good Morning,

I'm no insider but a real good childhood friend of mine who I grew up with in Chattanooga and he presently works for 247sports reporting the recruiting stuff told me and another VOL friend last night. He is also a huge Bama fan as well and has many contacts with the 247sports insiders mainly in recruiting. Here is what he said below.

"From what he was told by someone with knowledge is it's a done deal with Gruden and Trevor Lawrence (#1 player in nation and a QB) will decommit from Clemson and come to Knoxville.. You'll be shocked to see who his offensive coordinator will be. May not be popular but he's the best offensive mind in the game probably. Just has some baggage and unpopularity that will ensue. (He was formerly Baylor HC) Good times ahead for you. Those UT vs Bama games will be epic matchups again very soon. That is true. Haslam and Thunder came through. Money will not be a problem. They'll buy out sorry $%^ Butch and pay Gruden 8 million. This should have been done 5 years ago."

Even their stories couldn’t imagine Tennessee being this bad. I bet they figured we would limp in 7-5 with a loss to LSU and it would give them time to drag you guys around a few more weeks. Except we lost. To kentucky. And butch isn’t fired and gruden was never coming.

Why would trevor Lawrence already know he was gonna flip? He wouldn't even know the staff. And even if some booster fed it to him, he definitely hasn't spoken to any of his would-be future coaches. So he already knows he's gonna flip without having even spoken to anyone he'll play for? That's just stupid

I think he sort of clarified what he meant by "done". I think he meant done from the Booster side and the Gruden camp. Ball is in UT AD hands now.

That is NOT at ALL what he said..... He continually posted things like RELAX, IT's A DONE DEAL, WE GOT OUR WHITE WHALE" .... that is a far cry from we need to put pressure on the administration....

If he is lowing the bar now... then I believe He is trolling for sure.... sorry.... I want GRUDEN but at some point you have to hold people to what they post

And it very well could happen this time. Nothing is 100%. Only way it could be a done deal was for the boosters to agree, along with power players within the university Peyton Fulmer majors. Line all those up for the right deal it's done. But you have the actual university to deal with. So Jones is done. So be patient and see what happens today and tomorrow.
