I haven't been able to find this video of Currie supposedly winking at the student section chanting for Gruden.

I did mention back in Gruden...one of the past Gruden threads some of the information coming out early on looked like a canary trap. Just so obscure it jumped out at me as probably being planted. Not saying that as a 100% guarantee, but...



You'd think an AD that was getting serious about negotiations and was afraid of leaks (he had to have known what happened in 2012) would want to cut off those leaks in advance of national level attention. No matter what folks say, the Currie and Reid Sigmon team is sharp. And if they wanted to keep the apple cart from upsetting, they'd want to know who was saying what in advance of a hiring. Either for reasons of smokescreen to pass on misinformation via those known sources or to cut off information flow because they know that person is talking out of school.



That's what I'd do if I was in his shoes and wanted to keep it quiet. Now, once national level media is involved, it's harder to keep quiet. Not impossible, but if you can control those sources of information in the beginning, the better use you have for them during the high level attention you know you're getting.



Remember what Currie said. "If you don't hear it from my mouth, don't believe it." I do think there is serious fire on the Gruden front. But I have zero faith in the sportswriters circles for reliable and/or timely information.

I have lurked in the background for quite awhile. I do not have inside sources or anything that would give me an edge on information. I simply take the chatter from VN, VQ, and other social media sites to cross reference information. Weeding out trolls and bad information is difficult, but I disregard it if it only shows up from one person. With that being said I believe the following;

I find it hard to believe the University of Tennessee will take away from the current players and coaches (regardless how much we like the coaches) before the end of the season. Thus being said, I firmly believe UT will not announce prior to the Vanderbilt game any information regarding the coaching search.

Jon Gruden has had the chance four times to diminish, kill, or neutralize the rumors via his interviews. He chose to ignore or fan the flame. His son goes to UT, he would have killed the rumors immediately whenever he decided no. He has not.

I am a firm Gruden believer. 100% sold, all in. The only two people who can change my opinion is AD Currie and Gruden's words from their mouth. It would not phase me if Gruden's agent uncle's brother said Gruden was not interested. It did not come from them.

Take this as you will, but no action until after Vanderbilt and probably close to December 20th like Currie initially (allegedly) quoted to a recruit.

Nice post. I'm Gruden until Currie trots out someone else...meaning at this point even a public JG denial isn't a deal killer for me. Very little to gain (other than VN's sanity) with an announcement this week given the holiday. Media frenzy next week will be high going into Championship game weekend and final playoff selections. Announcing after Vandy has always made the most sense.

I don’t know why I didn’t think about this last night, but does anyone have a link to the picture from twitter of the 97 SEC Championship team being announced an honored? I saw it last night but can’t remember who posted it. I’m just curious if there is someone who has a similar hairstyle and shirt as the person in the picture with Manning at Calhoun’s. We know Peyton had on the same, so I’m wondering if the person assumed to be Gruden may be in the picture as well. If not, Gruden at Calhoun’s then catching a private plane to Seattle could be very plausible.

Pretty sure there were a few of us calling the planted info angle early on. It was shortly after LWS came into the thread after never being seen in Gruden threads before.

I wasn't trying to take credit away from anyone with that post. More of a good for thought post this early on Sunday.

Have you seen the video where the guy is following Currie screaming for Gruden? I came across it last night while watching this one...oh, wow, it is so embarrassing. The guy screams it at Currie, who jerks with such surprise and terror, while this guy keeps following him. I felt so bad for him, and for the state of our fan base at this point in time. I understand that we need some good news, but this isn't the way to do it.
