If Dooley stays the rest of this season, we need to have Gruden hired so his coaches can hit the recruiting trail via Ohio State and Urban Myer

Hey man....I agree. Unfortunately there are things involved we arent privy to. Recruiting will take care of itself when the Gru is officially announced.

"Gruden is #1, #2, #3 and #4 on UT's list of coaches. They are even involving Peyton Manning in this. They are courting him on many fronts." "I am hearing they may let Dooley dangle in the wind and try to have a coach in place because they want the deal done first." UT has no one else on their WISH LIST at this time" Tony B.

Good morning fellow Grudenites. Regardless of what all the haters say I believe in The almighty Grude and must say it's great to be a Tennessee Vol!

Again Boro that is the same as Tony B. is hearing. Many money people wanting it done now and Hart wanting it locked down. As you have said there is no "saving Dooley's job" now. All about timing. Ahhhhh, I am more relaxed than I have been in days.

Did you link to his article and I missed it or is that not allowed here?

Just have to be patient. I keep telling myself that.

That's the key. We got wind of this early so it seems like its dragging on. They would.have preferred to this quiet for as long as possible. Everything we know is going on are normal proceedings we shouldn't be aware of yet.

Sure seems to be a lot of loose lips in the AD, or people who are close enough to know lol. I need to get me a buddy inside the system.

Quote from Bassilio TIFWIW

This is going to be a crazy couple of weeks around here. If I'm to offer you any advice it's to be patient. Dooley is gone, trust me. Don't sweat that. Sit back, relax and cheer for, not against the Vols this weekend. The dye is cast. Don't sweat Dooley's job status. He's not coming back next year. He's not only losing on the field but in the political realm (with the power players and administration) as well. He's as good as gone. Just relax and enjoy the spectacle of what's to come over the next few weeks. I believe UT football is coming back soon to an SEC near you.

From Basillio TIFWIW

There are NO OTHER names on UT's WISH LIST at this point. I believe we are in the midst of the Jon Gruden courting season during which sources say he's already had a couple of 2+ hour conversations with the power of the power players at UT.

I just saw on TOS where Luginbill from ESPN said there is no way Gruden is coming to Tennessee. He would instead go to Detroit, Chicago, etc.

I'm a Grudenite and hope he comes, but it did worry me a bit. Luginbill does work for the same company.

Gruden should just recruit the rest of the season.

The rest of the staff can do clean up for the season...FWIW.
