Schiano wouldn’t be bad. I still like Mullen the best of any semi-realistic hire. I don’t feel like he’s a lock to take the job though.

Involuntary








Joking. Just reading tea leaves and some info that we have that we know we can take as fact (like LWS saying Gruden said no twice). Also, we still have no public denial from TN or Gruden’s camp, nor Hubbs (the mouthpiece for TN AD) saying it’s not happening.

In fact said mouthpiece showed up at the airport waiting to see if a certain individual got off a plane.

Maybe Richt would like a shot at revenge on the dawgs

I think he's getting plenty of revenge with his success in Miami. Just no way he screws over his alma mater like that just to come to a program that isn't even making a bowl game this year.

So, what has Swan said lately? ATL VOL? Last I heard there was some major stuff going down, and he was giving out tickets to Vets and kids.

Hargis putting his name out there again.

Anyone else we can hang with?

Guys, it’s not going to be Gruden, Richt, Stoops, etc. It’s just not.

*hoping I can jinx it but don’t think so*

I still have a ton of things lining up that make me believe.

I 100% believe Catbone. I believe he was here this week. And he was here unseen. Unlike the South Carolina game where he strutted around town being a boss.

LWS confirmed that he was in East TN the week of the So Miss game. Supposedly this was predicted by Hutch 7. If it was him that said it would have then that gives credence to Hutch and the things he has said.

Gruden showed up on campus this year for a game which has never happened.

The announcement isn’t coming until 11/26 at the earliest imo. No matter who we target and ultimately hire. I think it will be Gruden on 11/28. Until then we will get misdirection and denials. Also Gruden gave the “sensitive to coaches doing their job” comment. No hire til after the season is over.

I believe that Gruden bought that house. Nobody even knew that house was on the market and then we hear he bought it. Hank brought that here before I saw it anywhere. Days before it spread as I recall.

If you believe the report by 247 then he did that interview and brought up UT after hearing our pitch. He asked to not be asked about coaching vacancies and then brings up how much he loves rocky top.

Espn is going to have to cut his pay.

He said on Eisen show that his contract is not guaranteed. You know what is? A coaching contract.

He has a huge ego and college coaches are rock stars. In the NFL, the players are the stars.

His wife is from here and his son goes to school here.

He’s been around this program more in the past 5 years than ever before.

Timing is right for him this time.

UT knows it has to go big this time. $340m renovation on deck and it’s not getting done with a mosquito hire.

Why is it so easy to believe negative news but often difficult to believe good news?

Training and expectations.

Fear, ego and belief are all obstacles to true Freedom. The big PTB have used fear-based trauma, manipulating primal instincts, to control the masses for a long, long time (see the "War on Terror" for a recent rendition).

That's prolly a digression, I no.

lol I just don't get it. Everyone quits so easily around here. One rumor of bad news and they fall apart. One rumor of good news and we're calling it trolling or lies.

Maybe Gruden won't be the coach, maybe he did say no and we'll end up with Brohm or Bobo or Connor McGoogleman but all we're going on now is what exactly? A jimmy hyams tweet? JAV post? Yeah, I'll wait to call everyone trolls and liars.

To be fair, when jav posts what we want to hear it's the gospel truth and you can take it to the bank, but now that he said it's over he doesn't know diddly.

I have always wondered how Reggie McKenzie played into all of this, considering that Khalil is currently on the team. Not only is there a UT tie, but they were together in Green Bay for several years.

Respect to Currie and crew for trying their hardest to get gruden but I’m not worried. There are a lot of coaches left that can win big here. Just go get one of them and let’s roll.

I don’t put a ton of stock in Swan either. That’s why I mixed them up.

I honestly don’t know much about Swan, but think about this. Larry puts enough trust in Swan that made him go up in percentage to his highest of the grumor season. Means Larry has some trust in him.

Another thing I think about is Gruden's "I'm real sensitive to the coaches out there" comment on Mike and Mike.

Well, we still have coaches working hard to win two games and send the seniors out with a bowl win. Gruden is a fired coach himself. He doesn't want to do anything that could be perceived as hurting their ability to go out and win a game and get the fans behind them down the stretch with two home games left.

I wouldn't be surprised if part of his agreement when signing the contract was making sure the rumors got squashed for a while so that fans would briefly move on and support the team while the season is still in progress.

Yeah. Swan said it’s done and Larry says 7.5% chance.

Lol.
