Because Volnation in whole was disregarded several times over in Coaching searches yet you all are one of the most powerful voices if engaged.

For me, nothing sucks more than to make that 2.5 hour flight home after another loss. When I saw the win over Florida last year, I think it was the first time in 15 years I saw Tennessee win. Now, I only come back for the bigger games, but c'mon. That is where this program has fallen.

But it doesn't have to stay that way. There is no excuse for us to not be able to attract a top coach, one with the fire and passion and knowledge to get us back. I know one that I have no doubt can do it. JON GRUDEN. My gut is rarely wrong and with Gruden my gut gives my arms goosebumps of what the top end potential could be here. I just know in my heart it would be a HOME RUN, feel it in my bones. Most see it, that doesn't mean it couldn't fall short of that. I could be wrong. But what it will mean is that we tried on a shot at a top end chance of greatness. Nobody with a sane mind is going to blame Currie if the 1 chance in 10 it didn't work. And who in Haiti isn't a risk to some degree. I want to pursue going for greatness, the reward is worth the risk. We need some Tennessee blood back in here. We need someone with the passion of Gruden. He can do this, Gruden come home. We are waiting, let's do this! Currie GET IT DONE!!!! SOON!!!!! GRUDEN TO THE HILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, we are becoming more frequent all over national sports. They are talking about Grumors on ESPN regularly....covering other football games...and they’re not totally laughing at it anymore. This has been building for 5 strong years and here we are, again. Grumors is the most interesting story in college football right now...they just don’t realize it yet. I mean...it’s becoming historical, y’all. It’s morphing. IMO.

Maybe they're building up to the big story in a few days - kind of get people acclimated to the idea so their heads don't blow off when it's announced that he's going to be the Vols' head coach. I'm just worried that we'll be into thread 48 when it happens. Or maybe thread 55 or 60 if people keep jumping the gun and starting new threads too soon.

Good night people of Big Orange Country. Gruden to the Hill!

Any Texas Vols in here? Moved to Austin a year ago and have had some trouble finding work. Had a few temp jobs but am looking for something permanent. Have good experience and work hard.
Tried the Austin Vols Facebook group but people don’t really engage there.
Figured this might be a good place to check since it’s pretty busy. Already posted a few nights ago but you guys know how fast things go by in here.

Anyway, if you know of anything or might be able to help, message me!

It is morphing but they are laughing even Herbstriet took his shot. If AD loses Gruden we will be the butt of all jokes.
4 Sure if Gators gets Kelly

Do I need to send Grude some of my bitcoin?!? Let's get this done. Every fan pitch in and let's get him a 20m signing bonus.

This is the truth. However, over the last decade our loyal fan base has shown up 100,000 strong to almost every home game and purchased a lot of merchandise. Our administration has taken the fan base for granite and thinks that whoever they trot out we will continue to support. Deep down every true vol fan who says if we don’t get gruden then I’m done doesn’t actually mean that. Our admin knows that. Thankfully,it appears this time around we have been heard.

I still think that is what they are banking on this time also. I have no faith in these clowns. This hire will prove if they are committed to winning or just ripping the fans off. I hope its Gruden but in the end I think its going to be someone nobody wants. except for the ones who are still missing Butch

A major if. I'd be truly shocked if we got him.

The HearForGrumors Manifesto on the Great Gruden Conspiracy of 2017

It is true what they say, "No one does a coach search like Tennessee."...

...I just feel strongly that the value of having additional points of influence is too high (pivot points) when compared to the cost of development (making another account and waiting for Freak to approve). To the extent that a substantial amount of effort has been put in, they would take the minimal extra step to magnify their effectiveness. It would be like walking 5 miles for $20, but refusing to go another 100 yards for an additional $20.

Conclusion:

I personally believe the smoke. I believe those who have come and said we got our guy. I believe we got the white whale. I believe we have been playing secret agent since then. I believe that we are coming down the homestretch on the finest horse the world will ever know.

Have we all been trolled? MAYBE!!! But, if you don't see the mystery and intentionality you either lack the intelligence to see the pattern or you lack the effort to discover the clues.

It's a profound amount of effort and coordination. And, maybe it's all make believe. All I know is there is enough meat on those bones to sate my skepticism. There's enough justifications to continue believing. And finally, it's been a whole lot more enjoyable than watching our boys on the field most Saturdays this season.

EDIT: PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE THIS WHOLE THING! It'll kill the usefulness of the pages.

I must say, I am damn proud to be a Vol and call everyone here brothers and sisters! We are at the front of an uphill battle with more negative stories coming out day by day. The show of camaraderie here with the offering of jobs, rounds of golf and UT tickets have shown how special we really are as a fan base. Where ever there is one douche to make us look bad, there’s 50 more true heroes on this thread. Just wanted to say thank you to those who’ve turned this thread into something special!

“Never say never to nothin!”

You and I. Just worked 11 hours after 4 hours of sleep and working 11 hours Saturday at the bank. I am ready to drink-a-leak. Between no Grude news and hearing this cocksmith's name "Mullen", need to drink double.
