Or, the target is a sitting coach, in which case, we could not talk to them officially until after the season. I am all in Gruden, and hope it happens. But, we have to look at all scenarios.

This it true but it’s a lot of smoke on the Grud side of things.

These threads have made me a better person.

-Learned some legalese (MOU, BATNA, Esq. abbreviation)

-Picked up new recipes with Benton's bacon

-Gained a broader knowledge of good single-malt scotch

-Learned where some great golf courses are

-Restored my faith in humanity (strangers helping strangers find jobs, people kindly asking to curb use of the "R-word," people genuinely praying for people to beat cancer, high school friends reconnecting, dads playing Pokémon to connect with their kids)

-Gained a better appreciation for our military veterans

-Being honestly, genuinely excited and proud when Preacher got his first gif to work

-Looking for the best in posts and drive-bys, while being ready to accept the worst

-Knowing to keep politics and religion out of friendly discussions

-Learning how to plan out a school week with optimal desk work so Coach Z can "check his emails"

-Patience to wait till next Sunday. Then the next. And then the next. But all the while, having the faith that it's gonna happen.

-Appreciating the aesthetic qualities of Daniela, Margot Robbie, Jennifer Lawrence, and the girl getting knocked over by the wave

-Remembering that no matter where we all are in the world, how old we are, how long we've rooted for the Vols, that we're a Big Orange Family.

-Soon.

No matter what happens after Vandy, VolNation....you make me wanna be a better man.

A very Grude morning to all today. For all of our many veterans here in the Gruden Thread: THANK YOU. You are appreciated, you are loved, and we are so proud and humbled by your service and sacrifice.

It's a crisp, cool, sunny morning today. Full of hope and promise. A good day to be alive and to be a Tennessee Volunteer.

Lws said the same last time too. He never went higher than 5-10% and hasn't this time either. Of course he never speaks in absolutes so that's as close to zero as he gets

In other words he could know more but chooses to not get excited about much if anything

My wife is an Ole Miss grad and is beyond annoyed by my refreshing these threads. She doesn't do message boards and simply doesn't understand. In fact she believes it is more likely I have a girlfriend (which is actually flattering considering what I look at in the mirror each morning).

Enough background; last night she said, "Why can't you be more like an Ole Miss fan and wait and accept whatever happens?" I replied, "You shut your wore mouth and GTFO." I'm hoping the judge is a Vol.

Didn't hargis tweet something like, "if Jon Gruden personally told me face to face that he was going to be the next coach at Tennessee there's no way I would report it this time"? Hahaha

The person I just reached out to is very respected at the Times. She'll get the info if anybody there knows for sure. With that said, it may be this evening before I hear back from her. Keep fingers crossed.

should be required that all newbies that want to board the train should go back to the 2012 threads and catch up before posting....just my opinion....i don't post much but have been here for the long haul.....ALL IN FOR GRUDEN1
Click to expand...

Ive been here for the long haul as well I was on the 12 bandwagon and since I'm a newb I'd lijke to say I think all the vets in here need to learn to read the post I started saying
"Idk I'll have to check"
Also stating "I could be wrong I'll check later"
But instead quite a few people smart off
There are plenty of things I could smart off about do I no I have respect for people and know that would take the fun out of the dream right?

I know! Don't shoot the messenger - just sharing what was posted. I still think Gruden could be announced - I don't know the ins & outs of NCAA rules on him continuing on MNF and being named next head coach (not to mention recruiting). I know some have referenced Urban Meyers' return to OSU from TV booth...
Click to expand...

Gruden is being inducted during the Dec. 18th MNF game vs the Falcons.

I may have 2 tickets for sale for that game...

That's crazy talk! 😀 I was lurking during 2012, but have purged most of that from the memory banks.

False alarm, she is an ole classmate of mine 37 years ago.. Small World!

On a serious note for my military brothers and sisters out there. Although tomorrow is Veterans day and honors the service we committed too, please remember others struggling brothers and sisters that face far more obstacles than normal and help direct them to safety.

Veterans Crisis Hotline is 800-273-8255

22 vets a day commit suicide, so terribly sad..

Have a blessed day all...

Go Vols, Go Gruden!

No he wasn’t a rep for a shoe company. It was speculated as most things are here however it was debunked by a friend of his. He was at UT however was more associated with softball and media. The media thing is correct as he explained to us Baseball guys the inter-workings of streaming games via the ESPN app and other details the average joe wouldn’t know.

That's what I was thinking. Thought he had connections through IMG.

Is it too early to have a drink? I’m off work today and my pain meds haven’t kicked in for my back. A glass or two should knock that s**t right out.

Ha ha. I haven't seen anything about the those contracts but if he can't get out of them he can't be the next UT coach even if he wants to. It's a violation of state law for a state employee to have their own endorsements. That's no small detail either.
Click to expand...

Simple stipulation in any endorsement with a person who is a coach, might coach again, have in their contract that if a job came around they would have the right to terminate immediately to gain said employement. New coaching job's salary amount covers lost endorsement wages. Problem solved. Do you really think a Hooters contract would stop anybody from doing anything? Mike Pruitt, Chanticleer Holdings CEO (Owns Hooters) is a sports nut. He would not stand in the way. I see this as a non-issue. However, you are right in that THE issue is if Jon wants to coach here. I believe he does.
