Got it, well you can believe what you want. If you believe that Gruden has 4 courtesy cars, 25 season tickets, and the AD wants a slow leak of info that's on you.

I didn't say I believed him or you, I just find it hilarious that you are calling someone a liar after posting your fantastic story.

I haven't been this excited since I sat next to Tyler Bray in section Q at Neyland during his visit to UT for the 2009 WKU game. Jokes aside, I'm feeling pretty good. Hearing more noise about controlled leaks out of the AD to slow the roll.

The source referenced in the screenshots I posted also talked about the Davenport situation with the guy who called into the radio about Gruden being the next HC. He wasn't at the meeting where she supposedly was so I don't feel comfortable posting what he thinks happened regarding that situation, but didn't shoot it down.

I know what is a fact and what isn't. If you cant tell the difference between what I was told and what he was told - and what is clearly more believable. I cant help you.

Sounds like Beav is saying that Sexton is pushing one of his clients and is succeeding on it some. Goes with his tweets yesterday.

SIAP from Beav..... Hey @TonyBasilio, what do you think happens to the HOH if they take another one of their buddy Sexton’s C grade clients? #EmptyNeyland was a warning shot that can VERY quickly become a powerful movement. Currie and HOH know they can’t afford that risk.

FYI...Kelly is not going to Florida. Spurrier already said the coach they are after is still coaching. Kelly will land in UCLA and you can bank on that!

Gruden to the HILL!

:loco:

Soon!

Just going by reports that they went full court press. Kelly reportedly said it was a very good meeting. They have money to spend. UCLA doesn't spend a ton on coaches as a rule. UCLA owes Mora 12 million on his buyout, has little chance of outbidding UF.

Someone should tell the ole Beav that #EmptyNeyland didn't work and that all his hot take protected twitter threats are falling on deaf ears.

The one thing that has me confident that Gruden is the candidate, is the lack of rumors from Tennessee insiders suggesting any other coach is a candidate. The only mentions from people who could possibly know are about Gruden, and then a second possible backup plan.

What is reported is the various fan and media personalities speculating and providing their OPINIONS on the candidates that SHOULD be considered, and why. No one in the Media is reporting that these candidates actually have been contacted or interviewed for the Tennessee position.

Now think about this. How many articles have been published regarding the Florida Football search? Various Media sites are on the record saying that Florida has actually contacted Frost, Kelly, and Strong. Why aren't these same media sources stating that Tennessee has contacted only of these same candidates, or others. If Tennessee was contacting other candidates there would be news about it in some form or another, outside of forums.



In regards to the Mullen rumors: read this Paragraph:

"Paul Finebaum and Nick Saban are both represented by the same powerful sports agency, CAA. Finebaum’s agent, Nick Kahn, and Saban’s agent, Jimmy Sexton, often work together. Surely someone will wonder, ‘ is this Sexton planting an item with one client, in hopes of getting more money for another client?’"

ref:
Nick Saban Has Had a Contract Extension on His Desk For Six Days Now, Paul Finebaum Reports [UPDATE] | The Big Lead

Think about this. CAA is known to leverage their "talent" to generate speculation and value for coaches they represent.

Lets Start with this:

Dennis Dodd's article about Sexton.

Man behind the money - CBSSports.com

Dodd pumps up Mullen.

It's time for Dan Mullen to embrace his moment and leave Mississippi State - CBSSports.com

Dodd throws Shade about Tennessee and Gruden:

Tennessee has serious concerns about Jon Gruden as a coaching candidate - CBSSports.com

Feinbaum on Mullen

Paul Finebaum says Mullen, Fuente and Gundy interest Tennessee

Feinbaum on gruden to Tennessee

https://247sports.com/college/tenne...im-Gruden-is-not-going-to-Tennessee-110499272

If you cant see that CAA, i.e. Sexton isn't putting out a coordinated effort to get their guys better contracts at the expense of the Tennessee coaching search then you are absolutely blind.

Gruden is the guy until he turns us down. Period.
