So I am trying to do some catching up over the weekend:
everyone is losing hope today because its finally cold outside
Hyams is a idiot as always
No one knows anything legit
Currie winked at some college girls mentioning Grumors
Am I missing anything ?

I don't remember his exact words, but Currie made a statement that led me to believe he was not going to sleep until he had a new coach.

If he goes to the Bahamas, he...

Has his man. It's done. Gruden or not.

We have serious issues and will not be relevant, ever again.

I see no Grey area.

Jmo.

And with their Under Armor deal and that infusion of cash as well as their donor base, they can go toe to toe with UF for him.

In the end, it's going to depend on where he wants to coach.

I felt like all along that Kelly would take UCLA if it came open.... we will see if my thoughts are correct now !

No inside information ... just thoughts

Doyle, the proof of the error in your thinking is this: expectation management.

The UT administration are not dumb, and they're not blind. They know that the fan base are excited about Gruden. And they know that disappointment from not getting Jon will be a powerful, and maybe destructive, reaction. Far, far better to dissipate that reaction early than late. Do not give it time to grow further. And especially do not allow it to come just when the announcement of the real coach is being made.

They know all that.

They haven't said a word.

That's as close as you can get to proof that Gruden is still in play. He may be a lock, or it may still be a negotiation, but it is certain that he's still in play.

No question about it.

I hope you are right.

What about your love for us? Are you tired of defending that?

Does Ape ever tire of defending his love for booze and hookers?

Don't get down. It's the home stretch. Welcome us all with open arms and get that party dress idea from Faceless.

Do you realize what it's going to be like for us if Gruden says no?

Trying to put toothpaste back in the tube is a messy process. Relax and let the process play out. Grude times are coming.

I am still on the Gruden train because:

I am tired of playing teams and saying "If we can only make it respectable and keep it close I will be happy" or "We know we can't beat them and just don't get embarrassed".

I no longer will be satisfied with mediocrity as the norm, or just hoping for a bowl game (any bowl) or praying that we somehow find a way to win one!

I am old enough to remember the days under Fulmer when people actually feared to play in Neyland and knew if they face UT they faced a great team.... We use to be the be team that others said about us "they hope they can at least keep it close". For those to young to remember it was not just under Fulmer we were that way it was under Dickey and the first couple of years under Battle.. other teams hated us... I want to go BACK!

Their might be an up and comer that can do that, but there is one coach for sure (in my thoughts at least) that can and his name is Jon Gruden. So until Currie introduces someone else, for me I will stay right here hoping for the best out there for UT football

GRUDEN TO THE HILL!

I'm not jumping ship.
It's just all of this tea leaf reading and riddle talking has gotten beyond ridiculous and pointless.
It's time for the situation to be addressed plainly and to the point by the ones directly involved.

Wasn't addressing you with my comment, Doyle. And I agree, they need to pull the trigger. I hope they do so quickly in a manner that allows Gruden to satisfy his obligations to any other entities.

I've seen conflicting reports on this... one is he is going and the other his family is and he is staying behind... does anyone know for sure?

if he's going he has his man and nothing will be announced until he gets back for sure

That’s what I’m trying to say! I heard Currie tell Bob Kessling before the game on the radio interview that he gave his family a choice: Stay here with him or to go the Bahamas. They picked the Bahamas. They both laughed. Then he said he was going to try to make it down for a day or two.

Why is it each and every time someone gets fired from another school, our fan base automatically thinks they could do "better" at UT?
Click to expand...

Because for the last 15 or more years we have been conditioned to accept less that the Very Best....

NO LONGER FOR ME .... Gruden or Bust is my motto

I’ve turned this thought over and over in my head, too. As much as I’m not giving up Grope....I mean hope....it would be a big blow. Then all I can pray for is that the AD does have a big hire lined up. But I also fear that all the Gruden hype might hurt our chances with anyone else shoul he decline our offers.

Take your mind off the negative fake news narrative.

Focus on how many 5 stars you think Gruden will flip after he is announced.

shew it is gloomy and depressing in here this morning.

we either need some good grumors or some closure on this

You should see it during the overnight hours. Nobody in here but the trolls from other threads trying to depress everyone. I work 3rd shift so I get to see the upswing like there is now and the downswing when the info guys are asleep and nobody is in here to defend or refute. I'm a nobody here so I can't really add anything

I actually didn't think last night's graveyard shift was too bad.
