Some of you are ****in pansies. Not one of The Insiders make you believe a damn thing. Info changes from day to day on a coaching search. Especially high profile searches. You should read and form your own opinion. Confidence in info does not mean it is done. You have to remember the info they share is passed to them

:eek:lol: This is just flat out ridiculous. Do you honestly think this man has not had any opportunities to coach in the NFL in the last 10 years? Coaching in the NFL versus coaching in college comes down to a lifestyle choice. One is not inherently better than the other. They are just different.

This is my thought. He could go coach at Tampa or anywhere in the NFL whenever he wanted.

As a college head coach, he can pick and choose his players.

I'm having no doubt. Gruden is coming...I really believe what beeves said about the other insiders being a few days behind info, especially since they get it second hand.

From what i 100% know, UT has made the required monetary offer and have also done some admin changes that where required too.

Everything that Jon needed to make it happen, has happened. Currie has cut off a lot of info so the info that comes is spotty and incomplete.

Its like watching your buddy bleed out on the floor while the ambulance driver got stoned and went to the wrong house.

I wonder if Beaver is logged in now- he needs to weigh in on this news in some manner. Or did he straight up lie to us too? I'm about to be pissed at Gruden too if this is true because that isn't the way you treat a school you supposedly love and respect.

If the money is there and they've made admin changes on his behalf, I don't see him not coming.

So in other words, any potential meeting with Tampa could be a cover if Butch is let go earlier than Currie had expected. If JG is 'entertaining' the Tampa position he's not as serious a candidate which causes the growing grumors to die down a bit, allowing the situation to unfold as intended.

Still think that's bad for recruiting, but I've always been in the 'right hire' mindset.

Does that theory resonate at all?

Oh, well you probably haven't heard yet then. It's "100 % done" and we should "relax". You're welcome.

I've already stated that my avatar is just a silly play on the silly people that think Ergen is spearheading the effort to hire Gruden, and are thus changing their sigs and avatars as such.

I'll change it eventually when all this nonsense blows over. Or whenever I stop being too lazy to change it. Whichever comes first.

So what is your opinion? Currie is incompetent, Gruden is a pipe dream, etc?

If Gruden was to become HC at UT, Ithink the most surprising thing will be he loves recruiting. Not dealing with the immature 17 year olds but the fact that he gets to look at a board and say let’s get him, him, and him, without having to worry about a contract or a salary cap

I just don't see Gruden going to the NFL much less Tampa. I don't think Cindy wants to go to Tampa, I think she wants to be in east Tennessee. I don't see Gruden going back after the fallout with the TB owner last time. He has had 8 years to go to the NFL, I think he is in intrigued by Tennessee and the college game. I think he really wants to coach Tennessee and I think this time he will eventually pull the trigger and become the coach of the VOLS.Time will tell, but I am all in for Gruden, I believe. And I hope and pray this administration does everything in it's power to make it happen. As a long time Tennessee fan I have to BELIEVE. It's time for us to turn this thing around. NOW! GRUDEN TO TENNESSEE!!!!! VERY SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
