Do we want a coach who is afraid of the challenge, at 10mil a year he better ****ing not be scared of ****. And to answer someone else’s question when I related this to wasting time on a girl that doesn’t want you or has to “mull it over” I’d drop that **** like a boulder and date Norvell if he’s good looking and wants me! Lol

I don't know if scared is the right term. He might not be scared of failing. He might not want the headache.

Altho I do agree we shouldn't waste too much time waiting around for him. Whoever coaches here, we want them to be here cause they want to be here.

That isn't always the magic formula. Butch and Dooley both wanted to be here.

We need more than a warm body that is ecstatic they are failing upward.

Somebody explain why dodging the obvious is beneficial to either side. Or at least how long this will continue. It seems far fetched to think anyone will believe JG hasn’t been contacted. That’s just not believable. So when does it come time to save face and make a public statement of yes or no. AV? Anybody?

But what if your parents cheap out at the last minute. Sure, they've got the money but they think it's a waste when this one is 'just as good.'

Then you divorce your parents and move on.

($5 worth of VN e-credits for anyone that picks up the subtle reference there)

On the flip side, Harbaugh is overpaid. If he doesn’t win the Big10 next year' he will be fired. They have him on the hot seat now. Has one win against top 25 and for the first time all year, had a lead against a team with a winning record, still lost tho.

Like everything else, it's a crapshoot. You never know. I don't see Harbaugh being fired next year unless it completely falls off the rails. Too much invested. Probably an insane buyout. Plus, if you fire an alum, who are they going to get?

As I leave Knoxville, I’d have to say, this town is full of passionate fans that love their Athletics. Be patient with this coaching search & know that the University is trying it’s hardest to bring in the best coach.

Let’s remember something. I am not here to dispel any particular posters information. You never know who someone is so it is not my place to say someone is wrong and call them out. Let’s all be civil and humane..hiding behind usernames and anonymity on the internet doesn’t give anyone the right to talk poorly of someone or call them names.

I am simply sharing my thoughts on the process and how these things are handled. I did want to specifically help people with some things i had heard or seen in last few days to try and keep everyone from spending their entire day trying to track planes and chase meaningless information that folks are coming in here with simply to stir stuff up.

Yeah, but it sure is fun to think we are tracking the right planes.

To me the email lacks the professionalism you would expect to see, especially since the content is supposed to be sent to "high power boosters". Is JC supposed to be John Currie? If so why use initials only?

Don't get me wrong, I want to inject the grumours directly into my blood stream, but some of them are just down right laughable.

I doubt fear has anything to do with it. Money probably isn’t the primary factor either. When you’ve made what Gruden has, money alone doesn’t change your life much. It’s all about enjoying life.

I don't know how Gruden gets paid by ESPN/MNF and his sponsors but he may be holding out for a few more paychecks. In his mind what is the rush when he may have other NFL teams offering soon. Currie needs to push him to accept soon though or move on.

It appears to me that Atlanta Vols posts today have similarities to other “insiders’” posts.

However, it also appears that the Gruden deal is still in progress and not a done deal as others have stated.

I had my phone all charged up today and all...

Well, both sides are the recipient of this going mainstream. Is that good or bad? Or there is no bad publicity...

Love is not about instant gratification. It’s the long play. Giving yourself to another completely is difficult.

My advice...Go be a Tiger fan if you like Norvell that much. Just sayin...

I don’t like him but someone brought up that name so there...I’m about done hoping for Gruden, with the money being thrown out there I think it’s embarrassing for the poor student athletes who’d play for a money grubbing ego maniac who supposedly “loves” the vols, give me a break I’d love Alabama for 10 mil a year

Let me just say that if the person who filmed that is a member of this board, your VFL card has been officially terminated. Please go find another team to cheer for. You are an embarrassment to The University of Tennessee.

I'll add this to the list of many reasons Currie should address the Grumors if they are not true. Now, he has to worry about his personal safety.
