Makes you wonder what will happen to his rock star status if he turns it down again if we offer everything including the kitchen sink

There's simply too much smoke for us to not have offered. At the very least, he would come out and say "I haven't been contacted"...
 
Man that is awesome Atlanta Vol. I wish I could take you up on it. Unfortunately I have to fly to Arizona for a friend's funeral. We deployed to Iraq together in 2006. This past Friday his PTSD beat him. There is a gofundme set up for his family if anyone is interested in helping them out.

Where in AZ. I'd like to attend if possible.

Any vets on here or parents with young children who maybe don’t get a chance to go to UT games who would like to go to the LSU game this weekend? I would like to treat some folks if there is anyone out there that would meet that criteria.

No questions on Gruden front please. Sorry have not been around but things have been moving at a frantic pace and the process must be respected....and I have a duty to AD to uphold that at this point....

ATL. 24 year Army vet. Deployed 4 times. I really appreciate your offer. GOD knows i would love to go. However, i would rather a young one be able to go. I take care of my elderly father and with this short of notice. I couldnt make it. But. Take the children. Lets build the future fan base with what looks to be a awesome new beginning. THANKS. Maybe if you ever offer again. I will take you up on it.

Prayers headed that way
 
Im starting to figure things out around here. Either Ive found the secret club of smart,insider,UT fans and I know what's going on in real life and my homeboys are clueless or...you all are FOS and dont know any more than I do.

Either way we should find out soon.

NO ONE wants Jon Gruden here more than me but Im afraid if we dont land him the next coach will get the Cuonzo Martin treatment of "you did OK but we just dont like you because you arent this person".

Boy I hope it's Gruden with all my heart and our savior is about to come home but if he says "no" after a valiant effort on our part and we end up with say...Doug Marrone how are you gonna *****?

There's more than one good football coach in this world Mr. Currie. Now go find us one that wants to be here if Gruden dont.

Thank you for posting. It makes me sad to hear about your friend - I’m sorry for your and his family’s loss.

My grandfather (left us in 2012; he’d have been 100 years old this month!) fought in WWII, South Pacific theatre. I’ve got roughly 20 hours of video interview footage I took of him and am in the process of writing about his life.

I’m still relatively young, but I’m old enough to recognize that the sacrifice you, your friend, Grandpa, and many, many others have made is something I’ll never be able to comprehend. But, I can say, “Thank you!”

Hearing about first experiences tonight and the kind jesture brought by AV magnifies really why we are behind this hire! This would culminate our hopes and desire to bring back UT football to its rightful place and enable us to really share that experience with the ones we love!!!

GO BIG ORANGE !!! IT’s FOOTBALL TIME IN TENNESSEE!! I can hear JW right now....

It's silly to be this nervous. Talking about it when Butch was coach is much different then now because we get to find out yes or no soon. It's gonna be yes!!! Pleaseeee

You know he has been contacted. Pretty sure that’s a given. Can’t understand why he is silent. Maybe contractual issues. Idk. But he is gonna be offered as much as can be. And if he turns it down i wonder if he will be as beloved as before.
