"Saw a text from former VFL that basically said the framework of deal has been in place for weeks and unless JG walks away at 11th hour, the VFL said he'd be spending next thanksgiving in Knoxville. I've gone from hoping to believing. Chatta, hutch, vol in CLT have had this nailed"

Who is the poster?

 

[BubbaWms]

One could make the argument that it could be Kiffin as well. It is neither Miles or Kiffin.

Color me wrong but your name has been on my poster short list for many weeks regardless of you being cryptic sometimes. Go ahead and get it off your chest and spill your guts Please....no holding back, Thanks

It is going to be great to see Tennessee back at the top. No more whining about having to play Alabama every year and twice to win a championship. Just two opportunities to kick ***.

Taking names and kicking ass

This is accurate.

When did Currie say anything about SEC experience???

I've read it on here a dozen times, but he may not have. It may have been from the same source as the mythical "expensive and explosive" quote attributed to Currie.

I'm still hugely concerned that Thomas = Miles and am searching for any tie to Gruden.

"To me, it’s clear. Getting info from guys like Sexton who have an agenda. Toeing the company line in order to have access to the official story breaking. Not having access to potential JG staff members (while guys like @Vol_in_CLT does as a non-media friend) because why would those guys talk to UT media. Certainly not having access to Currie’s inner circle nor able to get info from Ergen or Currie directly - again, why would those guys leak info to UT media and start a firestorm. Most boosters outside a very few have been left in the dark too. There is a reason they are guessing. There is a reason why Norvell was a popular name a couple weeks ago (guesses). They have to keep subs here talking and fired up whether they have the story to break (or whether they can divulge what they truly know) or not.

Currie can’t strike out. Yet he hired no search firm which would provide him cover in the event things don’t work out. $300m in stadium renovations following the BOT meeting. Currie telling recruits he has his coach in place by next week (and OVs rescheduled to 12/3). Spends time in Bahamas with the basketball team during a search after a full-court press in Tampa last week on JG. They don’t need a JG smokescreen for Mullen lol. Sexton and Mullen were the boys chasing the pretty girl (UT) and they clearly want a salary bump. Meanwhile, ESPN is a disaster. Layoffs. Axed JG’s guy (Tirico). Asked him to take a major paycut. He wants to coach again if you listen and UT may be able to offer 3x the comp of a reworked ESPN contract (pre endorsements). Tampa or Chicago over Knox? Really? Would Cindy and her family want that at this stage of their life!? No. So he just bought Haslam’s house and joined/approved at Cherokee. Again, to go coach an NFL team? Is studying NCAA recruiting rules, has Blackburn lined up as his COO/right hand guy to keep him in line, has a UT/Fulmer heavy staff lined up...all to go coach NFL? UT acquires a bigtime plane in west TN a couple weeks ago so that a guy like Campbell can use it? No. They have him. He wanted to wait until after the season for an announcement. Maybe sorting out staff (Tee Martin) or endorsement issues. But the misinformation campaign a week ago cooled enough speculation that next week’s announcement will have full shock value. There is a reason JG remained the odds-on favorite in Vegas the past couple weeks despite the media/insiders trying to talk it down. JG has been the one consistent name for weeks. He’s had every opportunity to shoot it down like he did in 2012 and hasn’t; instead, he has unsolicited expressed love for Rocky Top on national radio. He has no reason to troll a city and team he holds close to his heart. He also has no reason to care or worry that we are impatiently awaiting the announcement.

People are over-complicating this, giving into emotion and impatience, failing to use logic, failing to trust what Peyton & Ergen (who was key in opening up Bev and others to spend spend spend) & Currie are focused on, and afraid to set an expectation without a UT media member guiding them to it."

Austin: "Son, do you want to play for Jon Gruden and the University of Tennessee?"

Recruit: "Yes sir. I do."

Recriut: Please take me with you

I'm having the same struggle. Haha

 

[UTLEGEND]

Vol_In_CLT on TOS.. He's been 100% Gru

"If JG were to back out now he would alienate an entire fan base and multiple in the coaching world. He has many reasons to be announced next week at this point.

My stance has not changed. It’s JG."

 

[james_govols]

Any new updates?

I browsed a few pages. Saw Peterson, Mullen, and Gruden name.

We can only hope right? I'm just hoping for a big name hire.

We need boots on the ground. Keep doing the Lord’s work

I’ve been here 30 mins and I can report that the scooter army of blue hairs are out in force today. Also, many mullets, braided belts and carhart overhauls. But there just the women I’ve seen. One lady looked like Vicky but th man she was holding hands with looked a lot like another “woman” and it wasn’t Phil. I’ll report back soon.

 

[Coastypop]

I'd still rather Chip go to UF if we get Gruden. Would be exciting.



But, it will be fun to laugh too.

Long list of names already made. Gruden and company will take care of the list.
