Come on man...that's just dumb. Kiffin is not going backwards in his career. He was already an OC at the very top. Why on earth would he get a HC job, killing it at said HC job and then go back to being an OC for a new coach where half the fanbase still hates him.

There is not one credible piece of evidence.

Basing hopes on All of these cryptic messages from posters who claim to know somenting but don't know any more than I do is silly.

If and I say if it was happening there would be very few in the AD who knew anything. Based on what I read here and if it were true the AD has more leaks than the TRump administration in the first 6 months

You've said this a few times, so if it isn't happening, why are you still here? I don't go into the Jeremy Pruitt thread because I know that that's not happening..... Maybe I'm a reasonable person though.

Im cautious because UT has never swung for the fences in any sport in my lifetime and Thats why I have a hard time believing that this is happening. But I sure want it to!

Well, Orange, you know me. You know I've been a football forum denizen these past couple of years. You probably don't know that I just discovered the Grudenite community a few days before you did, but it's true. I don't think they'd count e as one of their countrymen; I'm a newb here just like you and 83 and others.

I think their hostility to nay-sayers comes from the pain of 2012. Honestly, seriously, I think it runs that deep for most folks here. Apparently, some of them, like Boro and a fellow I don't know named DTO, really got treated harshly for supporting Gruden back then.

I drew an analogy to an isolated Pacific island tribe in another response, and the more I think about it, the better that analogy fits. The community here have not had positive experiences in the past, interacting with the wider VN.com community, and harbor some resentment. They're very protective of what they have (for good reason; it's a very nice community). They meet perceived hostility with hostility. But they don't chase you down and kill you; they just run you off their island. Happy to live and let live, as long as you let them be who they are.

And who they are is simple: Gruden fans. Believers that the best path forward for Tennessee football is with Jon Gruden at the helm.

Gotta say, I agree with them on that.

I'm an OG. I was here in '12. I believe Gruden is the best path for UT and have great hope that he will actually take the job and mop up the SEC with it.

That doesn't change the fact that there are very juvenile posts from both sides. As a long-standing member of the Grumors community on VN I'll post my opinion that the close minded, juvenile mindset and posts would be better left out of it.

So skimming through these I have to laugh. Did someone actually expect him to announce on mike and mike he took the job? Yet he didn't deny anything UT not was he probably asked anything UT. Anyway, carry on like the Grateful Dead song, Ship of Fools.

Yeah, I understand that.

But the GTFO and STFU bits aren't really meant in a hurtful way. They seem crazy harsh to folks who just join the thread, until you research the history of the community that resides here.

And I'm serious, there are a lot of good people in this thread who I'd NEVER seen before a couple of weeks ago. People who have a lot more time on VN.com than me. It's like discovering an entire tribe on an isolated island in the middle of the Pacific, like whoa! How'd they get here.

And just like any meeting of two cultures, their ways are different than, say, the football forum. On one side, they're some of the nicest people you could possibly want to meet. Real salt of the earth folks with interesting insights and great senses of humor. On the other side, they're really quick to throw spears and shoot arrows at people who come in as "invaders," who try to force outside viewpoints on them.

So anyway, guess all I'm saying is, take a minute to get to know folks here, and I think you'll find that they don't mean to be nearly as rude to you as you thought--they are only responding to what they perceive as hostility with canned responses of their own.

One thing is for certain: the climate, the camaraderie here are far better on the whole than in the wider football forum community.

It's a culture thing. Get to know them. You'll see.

Exactly! I was here in 2012 and back again for the final round, mainly because of the community, the banter and camaraderie....there are great people in this thread that make the trip just as fun as the destination.

JG becomes our next coach, but we married men know what mama wants mama gets.

Hey I'll take the Grude just like most folks.

However if mama wants to be in Tennessee they could simply move.....why would any wife want their hubby working like they would have to as the coach at Tennessee? Especially since he already makes $ and has WAY more time with wifey than he would have.
