ESPNU talking heads believe Freeze to UT

It amazes me how this kind of attention happens with other places and when it gets to the point this is with us, its usually a done deal and announced soon.

With us, this could drag on for another 5-7 days before we find out that Will Friend has been promoted. Even best case scenario that we do in fact hire him might not be announced for another month.

Crazy.
 
It will all work itself out.

IE. We had Dominique Stevens, Jamaal Lewis, Travis Henry & Travis Stephens. Dominiques moved to linebacker. Travis Stephens red shirted. Jamaal declared for NFL after junior season.

Leak, Shafer & Ainge. Leak couldn't learn play book and was benched. Shafer fought someone over a girlfriend issue and then Ainge got the starting job.

Helton, Colquitt, Stewart & Manning were all on the team at once. Colquitt was injured. Helton was injured. Manning won the job over Stewart.

Having both Maurer & Bailey is a very, very good thing. More competition for the job....

I think so. And you think so. But you know how soft kids are these days.
 
Gruden was never coming to UT, I hope you aren't implying that he was before the Raider's deal. If so, just stop it is completely false. He had no intentions of ever coaching in college and the UT administration has known this since at least 2005 when I played golf with Phillip Fulmer and John Chavis
If you read that was implying anything other than, the media doesn’t always know, then that is your mistake.
 
Haven't seen it mentioned so I thought I would ask. If Freeze is "free and clear" at 5 o'clock could he be waiting on possible HC calls?

Why not? Someone is going to. So, sure, you don't pay him head coach money, but $1.6 mil as a coordinator isn't otherworldly, even for a guy with baggage if he carries Freeze's resumé. It puts him near the top of highest paid coordinators, but if not for the baggage, he'd be making $5 million as a HC somewhere else. So, $1.6 mil and the "demotion" to OC is factoring in the baggage.

Well, I can reiterate. Baggage is why not. you are taking a chance on a guy who has screwed up in the past and is looking for a second chance. That is too much money to pay him when he is the one getting the chance from Tennessee. We will just have to agree to disagree on that.
