Taggart talking to FSU right now, per ESPN.

Wtf? Who Tennessee talking to? Friggin Vol Kernal says Paul Finebaum talking to Mel Tillis.

appreciate the likes, but it was not mine ... it was UTVolinExile's special nug.

He should get all the ecred, when he returns from semi-banishment. He shows as logged in, can give likes, but can not post or quote or reply. He is in VN purgatory.

1) Don't know....nobody does.
2) my disappointment over Gruden would be short lived, replaced quickly by excitement over hiring the most qualified individual we had publicly shown interest in. Miles hits all of my tick marks....good recruiter, SEC experience, beat Saban, beat Florida, winning record, SEC Championships, National Championship. What's not to like?
3) I don't know about the staff, but it would excited me to see Tee back, and Kevin Steele would be a coup. Not sure how many others would come, but those two combined with Phil would be enough Orange blood to re-instill some pride and Tennessee values back into our depleted program.

I don’t have a problem with Miles but it just feels stale if it’s him. Almost as if Fulmer decided to hire a buddy versus getting someone who could energize the fan base. At least that’s how half the fan base will see it while the other half sees it your way.

If I could ask a question or two?

1) has PM been involved with the JG deal?
2) if not, has PM alignment w/Haslam made the JG deal harder for us to get done?(JG has less interest without PM involvement)

I’ll hang up and listen for your thoughts....

Gruden, obvious pandemonium, possible (likely?) streaking, biggest splash hire possible.

Miles, I am fine with this. I think he has something left in the tank and something to prove.

Morris, not as negative as many are on him. Not sold either.

Petersen, I don't think there has been a hint of smoke there, but stellar hire if we could land him.

Kiffin, I think he would come here and win, I also think Phil would sign off on me before allowing it to happen.

He's a retread fro sure....but a highly qualified retread.

I for one will take a qualified, proven retread over a two year mid-major HC, or an unproven Coordinator...no matter how well thought of.

Absent a splash Gruden hire I'm all in with Miles.

Tucker has been successful every stop but Da Bears. Having good D's with the Browns and Jags is nothing to turn your nose at. That being said, hard no as HC. Too risky.
