Lil Jimmy wanted Currie b/c he could run the show.

Get ready to tell the SEC “Volnation is coming and hells coming with us”

I hope his dude knows his stuff. I'm getting skeerd that Phil won't try with Gruden.

Well, no anything here and it can't be unsaid... probably shouldn't have said it.

Well, good Lord, if it shouldn't have been said, why amplify it? :no:

I edited out your little gem. Wouldn't hurt if others do the same.

Private sadness should remain just that --private.

I know you hate percentages knuck but how do you feel about it percentage wise as of now and how confident are you that it gets done

Right now. 50/50. Until I hear different, I remain optimistic. Ultimately I think it happens. That is my opinion. I don't know enough right now other than what I knew before the schiano crap.

First off, as a long time lurker and late in the game participant here, it's been a blast, and I'm proud of what Vol Nation helped accomplish over the last week. It's understandably hard to go back to hurry up and wait after the frenzy we've been in, and we all want to know what's happening now and if the white whale is still in play.

I'm quite confident that Gruden is still an option, and that every effort will be made, and that if he's not our next coach, it'll be because he changed his mind and said no. This is simply because, if he isn't our next coach, then Haslam will have still won. I'm not going to go back and cite the numerous quotes on here that make this case, but here's what we "know." Gruden was on board. He had called potential assistants. Money was settled on. Meetings were had, and I think it's more likely than not an agreement was signed, with an announcement schedule laid out. Then Currie went off script and the domino effect of the last week unfolded.

We won yesterday, but does anyone think that the powers that be on our side will just abandon all of the efforts that have been made and not finish the deal? Without Gruden stalking the sidelines next fall, Haslam will have still achieved some form of victory.

AV said a long time ago that he would not break the official good news, but that he would tell us if and when it became a lost cause. Silence is golden my friends. Silence from AV and silence from Gruden means the ball is still rolling.

Bask in the glory of a battle hard won, in the knowledge that our great University is once again on the right track, and have some patience. Enjoy some downtime, enjoy your weekend, and know that what we all want is coming...

SOON...

I just got back from the funeral of a man who was a huge, Tennessee fan, and attended several games a year!
They kept the funeral light-hearted, and told about what a trooper this guy had been, surviving knee replacement surgery, surviving throat cancer, being in and out of the hospital.
They jokingly said, what finally killed him, was losing for the second year in a row to Vandy! :post-4-1090547912:
I just wish my friend had lived long enough to see Phil back in power, and Jon Gruden becoming head coach, and leading us to SEC crown by year two!!!
