In a little less than 3 hours, we're about to find out if we can cross certain "insiders" off the trust list.

Since my name is in this I feel the need to reiterate I do not think Gruden will be our next coach. I would love it, yes, but realistically I am still at 10% of it being a reality and at this point that is just because he has not said he is not interested publicly.

I do believe Butch is gone, he knows he is gone, and why Currie is not announcing is a mystery to me. Even if he is going to finish the season he should announce something today. Should have yesterday. If the players like him personally they might play harder to send him out on a good note the same as if there were an interim they all liked.

I am starting to wonder if they just do not feel comfortable with anyone on staff as interim and if Butch remaining is the the best choice for interim I guess I can stretch my mind to where that makes sense. What makes NO sense is the fact the AD has said nothing.

Agree 100%. I think being so invested in this (and been here frequently before), that this (change) could not come soon enough for us. We don't want to wait, no matter how much it makes sense (it won't to us). As before, things will happen like they are supposed to happen, good or bad.
Stay faithful fellow VFLs. Change is coming!

Tennessee coach Butch Jones: No plans to resign after Sunday meeting


You know what this means? It means the Grud turned you down. 10-11 million was not enough because the fan base will not allow for success at UT right now. You did this to yourselves. There is only one person that WANTS this job right now and it's Jones. Look in the mirror.

Sorry man, my performance has been piss poor. I'll try to do a better job of developing QBs, WRs and OL. Thanks for the pep talk!

Then why the delay? Why not at least put the fanbase at ease that they at least give a crap about the program

Wish I had answers. Would be easier to make something up if I was trying. Still holding tight to what I was told earlier in the week and it still matches up with what’s been transpiring.....just these oddities surrounding continue to be a Tennessee staple and I’ll never get it.

UTVolinExile, how are you feeling about things? I know you've said you've got some sort of connection over on the Admin. side.

This is from a few pages back, but I watched the Gruden MNF interview. No one should read anything negatively from his response about coaching. The man is a professional and he is doing his job. On the positive side, he did not even deny considering it, which he had every right to do.

It’s not like we expected him to say, “You know, I’m glad you asked about coaching. I got a mighty fine job offer from the University of Tennessee and I plan on taking it. Just gotta wait until they fire Coach Jones.”

Fear not friends. Soon.

All the Nega-Grudes need to chill. I still think we’re fine. Currie may be playing all this close to the chest for a reason (ESPN, Grudens son finishing his season, etc.). Like previously stated, once Butch is gone the media will turn into blood thirsty dogs wanting to be the first to report any coaching prospects or hires...Currie knows this IMO. I think there’s some resistance on who should be interim and that’s forcing Currie to hold CBJ. Let’s see what the 12:00 presser holds and go from there.

I’m actually really interested in what happened last night. There was definite movement, notification to the Knoxville media players, and then silence. Something happened.

What was the notification? The only thing I saw that sounded official was the usual weekly announcement of press conferences, staff and player availibility, etc. Business as usual. Hopefully that changes. Soon.

The Athletic Department has to know that they will be losing tons and tons of money Saturday if Butch is still coach. They can't be that stupid can they

I appreciate the info, you can only bring what you are told. Hopefully we get some clarification today.

My guess is Haslam did something last night to show he’s still in charge.
