Is that of concern to anyone at all? If what’s been stated is true that Gruden doesn’t want anything out there while Jones is still HC and that nothing legally binding is in place, could this impact the agreement? I.e. Might Gruden back out if it breaks too early?

I want Gruden to coach here more than anything but I must admit 1big reason is just to stick it to all these folks that laugh at the idea and media members that give 0% chance.Vindication is a underrated emotion.

Didn't hear his answer, only heard he was asked.... which to me gave some conformation that Gruden is at least seriously considering the offer

Please don’t take my answer the wrong way. I am just matter of fact sometimes. I don’t know if Dale was approached or not in regard to this subject today. I just know his stance on the come to Knoxville topic as a coach. I think it is very safe to say that Gruden is very seriously considering what is in front of him. I don’t listen to or take the Knoxville media seriously. Especially those tied to the AD

The others like Swain don’t get that much intel from the AD. Former players do not get information unless they are someone like Phil, Peyton or have become donors that give enough to be privy to conversations.

Hey Boro, DTO and BCarter... no matter what happens, and I know y’all don’t care, but I was here in 2012 when y’all were shredded mercilessly. I believe it’s safe to say that the rumors in 2012 have been proven and even more so this go round and I’m glad y’all have been vindicated. Let the good times roll. 👊

Not to be argumentative, but how were they 'proven'? I know Knoxville radio guys have now said it was close, but it is still just hearsay until Gruden himself says 'yeah, it almost happened.'

After reading about Patterson and all of the chatter about Butch possibly being retained, I can't buy into any of this at this point.

I know. It's the ol Tastycar dumpster dive Thursday. In my defense, I have stated many times that the longer this drags out, the crazier I will get.

From a very prominent booster:

Just talked to a friend who spoke with Currie this afternoon. I was definitely skeptical of all the Gruden discussion to date. Not anymore. I am now 100% sure we are at least in serious talks with him.

Thank you, Harry.. You are the under the radar super star here btw

“You do realize Gruden has never recruited or been a head coach in college football.” Watch the hand wringers that were spreading that fertilizer disappear if this truly happens. This thread is the most excellent adventure.
