Two things I am most sick of hearing: How we will have to settle for Florida's sloppy seconds, and how we are the most awful fan base in the world for having high expectations. Never mind the fact that we still fill one of the largest stadiums in the country, even during this pst decade. And the fact that Florida ran off a guy that had just won his division in back to back years, not to mention them weasiling out of paying his buy out.

If the Grumors are such a detriment, then UT admin should have shut them down long ago.

Not that anyone cares, but this is where I am today.

Gruden- Excited, is it August yet?

Marrone, Patterson, Petersen, Fisher, Malzahn- All would be very exciting

Mullen, Taggart, Frost, Campbell- more risk, but still happy

Schiano- I could get behind

Norvell- If he hires a good defensive staff, I will be onboard.

Morris, Bobo- meh

For whatever reason, if we miss on a big name hire I am to the the point I want us to get Taggart. Their run defense has improved 100 spots in a year and he has taken a soft lockerroom and changed the culture. We need that. Recruiting would be no issue for him either.

Jimmy Hyams (I know, I know but the downside to Grudenmania)

"I had a very prominent booster tell me that 2 coaches, that you would expect to be on a Tennessee search list, already say they had no interest in the UT coaching position. And they specifically cited the Gruden or bust hype"

Who knows if the booster is telling the truth.
I guess if I was a coach though, the fanbase reception and patience level would be at least a concern.

That pisses me off if true. Get over Jon freaking Gruden. The dude is not coming.

I was told this by numerous Florida fans. Don’t want to get ahead of myself because nothing is final, but I think their job may be viewed as even more toxic than ours.

I think their handling of Mac was really dumb. Wouldn't surprise me if it hurt their search. Their fans also expect a division title every year and demand a firing/don't show up for anything less.

Move Morris up to your Norvell category and that's pretty close to my opinion.

Could have some impact I guess.
I mean I get Ziti's and Wally's "Merica, pride and Rambo" rants, I really do.
But you're being offered by, just saying for example sake, aTm and Tennessee.
2 good programs, facilities, and recruiting bases. Could feeling welcomed at one vs Currie's drunk "where's Gruden" stalkers, give them an edge?
I guess it's possible. They said Jones received death threats when he stepped off the plane. Supposedly for not being Gruden.

In other words, we are bad bad fans for wanting Gruden instead of PJ Fleck.

Sports journalism in general just sucks. Never mind our below capacity crowds are still larger than most school’s record breaking ones.

We’ve done our time. We’ve paid the piper. F@&) everyone who thinks Alabama and their sh@&y state isn’t entitled when they wanted to run Saban off after the “kick six,” but we are because we’re pissed our AD will likely land us another Coach McGoogleme.

Marcus Spears agrees with you. He said we are a top five team. He got Tebow Butthurt because he thought Tennessee was a better place to go for coaches than Florida.

TAMU fans sent Sumlin racially charged hate mail to his house. There are crazies everywhere in the SEC. Currie just had to point to our ridiculous attendance numbers during historically bad football. We have the most loyal fans in the country. There's no comparison.

Florida hires Norvell and it just like all the others we complain about until they go somewhere else and are successful and then we all cry how did we let that one get away....
If Norvell did go to Florida..which I doubt...Tennessee would continue another decade of loses and we would cry cry cry..........as we always do.

Get an offensive minded coach ...can people understand that...
Recruits will come....get the coach and they will come....just watch

Novell will be the next coach at either Ole Miss or Arkansas.

UCLA just fired Mora....Chip Kelly will be their coach within the next 2 weeks.

Not a legit excuse for a coach that is willing to change his address. If he’s willing to take a new job then the fans wanting a winner (Gruden) won’t stop him.
