Do you think Blackburn would consider coming back in that role? And would Currie allow it? (He better)

Blackburn was quotes in the Chattanooga paper this morning that he would neither confirm nor deny that he's been asked to be on Gruden's staff here, but he did say that he could/would work under Currie.

Shaming the idea of people having therapists is why there’s such a stigma around mental illness in this country.

IF more people talked it out maybe we wouldn’t have people killing 29 people at a church service or 58 in Las Vegas.

Just saying.

Also worth noting that there is a big difference between a therapist and a psychiatrist. A therapist helps you process emotions while a psychiatrist treats mental disorders and seeing either one should not be seen as a negative.

I have been seeing a therapist for the past 6 months since my wife and I split and it's been a tremendous help. I think everyone ought to see a therapist at some point, even if it's just to vent, you'll feel better afterwards, I certainly do.

Haha you guys are funny.

I still don’t think it’s happening and won’t believe it until he takes the podium.

If you look at my post history you’ll see that I was full on Grude for a while but this has become too much like 2012 and I flipped.

I reserve the right to flip again if info changes. UT has burned us twice and there is a strong possibility they do so again.

Also, I started questioning as to why he would take the job? To what end does it actually benefit him? It’s not about money because he has plenty, and if he needs more he can go to the NFL where pressure isn’t as high and you can make the playoffs with 8 losses.

Between this thread and the expectations of UT fans I don’t see why he would want to take this on. The expectations for him would be insurmountable and anything less than a national championship will be seen as failure.

Apart from money (if you already don’t have it) I don’t see why anyone would want to coach big time college football. Nick Saban has broken college football and changed what qualifies a program as successful. No one is happy with 10-2/9-3 seasons anymore. You have to compete for championships every year and if you slip up the fans eat you alive.

Look at PSU, AU, OU, OSU, etc. they have all had success and fans still at times (some more than others) have called for their coaches heads. Auburn fans still want Gus gone and he just drubbed the #1 team in the nation. There was article after that game showing where some UGA fans were questioning Kirby. Heck, just a few years ago Bama fans were talking about the game passing Saban by and making a change.

You can argue that they want to do it because it’s in their nature but no one wants that stress and it’s beats you down over time. Saban put Urban into a brief retirement, and Bob Stoops just left last year. So even the best have a breaking point.

Gruden has had it so easy for so long, just don’t see why he steps back into the gauntlet, especially college football where you can’t afford to drop 2 games a year.

See? You CAN post using evidence to support your positions, instead of insulting people and calling names.

Proud of your personal growth this morning.

Secretariat running at the Belmont is one of the best moments in sports history. Not just because we saw a glimpse of perfection but because it showed people what is possible when you aim for greatness.

Have you been to Wooden Robot yet? Really solid beers and maybe best in Charlotte IMO. Also, if anybody is flying through clt airport, I'll buy you a Hop Drop. In the airport weekly; hence, username.
