Did the MOU actually get signed yet?
I was told last Friday, but no other confirmation. I was hoping ****** gets us verification.
If ESPN supposedly have the say so it could be a lot of viewers watching and help keep them in spotlight. Probably an agreement between Gruden and ESPN. I doubt they would care for Knoxville media getting all the credit. They shouldnt lie about but they should tell everyone they arent going to discuss coaching changes until end of season. I think they know Gruden got a good chance but not allowed to say per the University of Tennessee.So I asked Trey Wallace why local media isnt giving Gruden to Tennessee any attention. He said Id imagine theyve been down this road before. I take that to mean theyre not willing to give it a chance in case they may be wrong yet again. Then he went on to say hes just reporting what hes been hearing.
To me thats such a load of crap if thats our local medias excuse. People call in to Jimmy in the afternoon, heather in the morning, and Ainge and Brian at almost mid day, and they ask about Gruden. All they get in return is to made feel like theyre stupid for asking, or they get almost insulted with their response. Its ridiculous. When Gruden gets announced I hope people call in and give them an unfathamable amount of hell for treating callers like dogsh**
Does anyone on this board know the answer to this question with 100% certainty? Highly doubtful. From what I have been told, and from what others have said, there seems to be confidence that there is some sort of agreement. Whether that's an MOU, a verbal agreement, or something else, we will probably never know.
Obviously nothing is a done deal until it's announced and he's standing at the press conference, but I feel confident he'll be the next coach at UT. Would I stake my reputation on it? No. Would I put money on it? No. But that's just my personality.
It's all about waiting for the timing now.
