A man with a plan. This is great to hear. I wish more could plan ahead like this. Not everything translates over to landing a good job. Congrats to you and your family and thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Thank you. I agree on the transition piece. One thing I wish all companies could recognize is that military folks (more often than not) are extremely adaptable and can be trained quickly and to a high standard. To often an infantry man as looked at in the wrong light, and it's a shame. That leadership on the battlefield translates to leadership in the corporate world.

I said zero chance? I don’t recall that, there is always a chance. If you want my honest opinion, I think TN can do better than Gruden. Yes, he would bring excitement and be a name but I think it would be more sizzle than steak. He doesn’t know the grind of recruiting and he will have a hard time with the 20 hour rule. He doesn’t do twitter at all yet he will gravel at 17 year olds with social media? I’ve seen a list of his potential staff and I like Jay Graham being on the list, stud recruiter. The HC recruits as much as any coach now tho, see Urban, Saban, or even Smart. JMHO, but I don’t think Gruden will like that part of the job, the most important one.

That said, I think TN should back up the brinks truck for Frost. Tn CAN outbid Nebraska and offer things Nebraska can’t like the SEC and fertile recruiting grounds vs NE, plus the pressure of winning at your Alma mater is alleviated. Frost would win a N.C. at Tn in 4 years and would be at Tn to stay.

I think Fuente would be a homerun as well and would win the SEC.

I’m mixed on Mullen, he has lost at least 6 games in more than half his seasons, but it is at MSU, so who knows.

Bottom line, TN has everything it needs, facilities, support, etc to win and win big imo. It just needs a General.

I think it’s a better job today than in them 90s, why? Recruiting, TN recruiting is taking off and will only get better with the population boom in Nashville. :hi:

Frost needs to do more than win at UCF. Any coach half way decent can win at UCF, USF, FIU, FAU or any of the smaller Florida schools with all the talent in Florida. You don't even have to leave Florida for recruiting. Frost is winning, Charlie Strong is winning at USF, Butch Davis is winning at FIU, Kiffin is killing it at FAU but does this makes them all great coaches at a big time SEC program?

Vols fans won't go for 8 win seasons like Mullen does at MSU, Kelly won't recruit and his personality won't jive with people in the South and I doubt Malzahn is going to leave the Barn for the Vols unless fired. I see him going to Arky if anything.

Did you let Gruden go to the press game? Someone was claiming that Gruden was sitting in his lap and they were feeding each other nachos.

I didn't beleive it for one second. I knew you wouldn't let him out until he signs..

That was misinformation. He hasn't been out of my basement since he was dropped off a few days ago. All of the pictures of Gruden and Currie are smokescreen. I have the contract and a pen sitting in from of them both. They're being stubborn so far, but I think I'm starting to break them.

Will someone let us know when to start the "Official Plan B Thread I" thread if Plan A falls through?
Click to expand...

think plan b could be about assistants?
maybe an assistant the AD really doesn't want but will happen if they can't get who they want as assistant on plan a.
