Gruden wasn’t just on Mike and Mike. Asked point blank about the Tennessee job. HE said he would continue to give his all to his family and to football. And that he didn’t know what the future holds, and that he has a great job now that he loves. He definately didn’t put the rumor to bed.

Soon!

He said that he hasn't talked to anyone--but then he said he respects the coaches. I think we know he has talked to people, and he doesn't want to step on Butch's toe.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

As much as I will miss this thread and all the great people in it.
I’m ready for this journey to end.
I’m tobthe point I just want an answer so everyone can move on.

A bit longer I guess

Speculation, but I think the "not talked to anyone" was in reference to the media in an on-the-record capacity. His tone sure sounded like a decision is weighing on him.

I was only listening to see if he would deny wanting the job. He did NOT do that at all and is certainly leaving the door open in the event his career path changes officially in the future.

Exact quote for those who missed it. Golic asked about coaching rumors to Tennessee ...

Gruden:
"Well you know Mike, I haven't talked to anybody and all I really have in my life is my family and football - that's about it. And, uh, I'm real sensitive to the coaches that are out there coaching so I don't speculate.

I just love football. I'm trying to hang on to the job I have. I'm very fortunate to be with the people I'm with. Uh, I don't know what's gonna happen in the future - I just know this: I'm gonna continue to give my best effort to the game ... stay prepared and uh ... I love Monday Night Football. Don't plan on leaving, but as you know in life, you never say never to nothin'."

OH well, we know nothing more than we did before the question was asked. For him or against him both sides can take what they want from it.

Think about it this way, there were Reports from Feinbaum, and on Football Scoop, Quoting him as being not interested.

Saying, "I've not talked to anyone." Also applies to those fools as well.

Food for thought.

JG is the consummate media professional. He knows how to handle a direct question and leave an open door. Did what he was supposed to in regards to timeline.

Biggest thing I have noticed is they specifically asked about the Tennessee Vols. He could have easily said I have no interest in coaching at the college level.

Also a report saying UTAD not really showing much interest in him. Just maybe he's telling the God's honest truth when he says he hasn't talked to anyone about the job

Since we're hanging on every word Gruden says....I really enjoyed the long pause before he answered the question. He could have easily said "no" and said a few nice things like I love Tennessee, great fan base but I like my job and don't plan on leaving.
