No, it's not different. Interim or not he's still under contract. There's nothing wrong or against the rules for a university to conduct a HC search and have them sign a MOU/LOI if the current coach has been notified. Again, nothing has been said other than Gruden signing a MOU/LOI. Whether you believe that to be "over the line" or not matters very little.

A coach that has a contract to keep his job after the current season is no different than one that the contract is only for a year!!!

That's your stance???

Read an interesting article on Bleacher Report about how Tennessee fans wont talk about anybody but Gruden, but how hiring an NFL coach with no college coaching experience might be a bad move for Tennessee. I think it makes some valid points about recruiting and overall management of kids rather than professionals.

What are your thoughts?

Stay off of BR, its nothing but a joke. You know you can go on there and write a article yourself ?

OHS had an interim coach. That's much different. Name me one school that had a coach signed in writing before the full time head coach was officially hired?

In reality we do not know what has gone on in other schools searches. I bet Auburn has been in touch with some people, as has Arkansas and other schools. We are just not as in tune with those situations as we are with ours. I think it is crazy to think they cannot come to an agreement with a future coach while the current coach is still employed up to the point of actually signing a legal document.

Take this for what it is worth. And sorry if this has already been posted. But Gruden was at the knoxville airport last weekend. Probably doesn't mean anything, but I thought that was curious. No need to believe me, but a close family member who had no idea we were even considering him saw him. TIFWIW

Some of you saying "bye" to players that support their coach or try to make a stand until their coach is gone are off base. Why in the world would it be a bad thing for a kid who signed with Dooley to support him.

Well, say goodbye to Tiny, AJ, James and others. I think that outlook by fans is petty and weak, regardless of who you want to be coach next year.

Let them say goodbye. You play for a team, not a coach. Whoever the new coach is will not give them a relaease. What are they going to do, sit out a year or go to the draft.

OCI stated a couple days prior that Gruden was speaking with Tennessee in regards to money for staff. Then the news of Gruden talking to potential staff hires is worth noting in my opinion.

He may have won a super bowl with dungys players, but he was playing in it against his players that he had just left in oakland lol

He still had to coach those games that season. Dont take away from the job he did. They may have been Dungys player, but Jon Gruden coached them to the super bowl that year.

You take whats given to you, grudens break came nfl before college, dont chastise him for that.

Edit: wrong forum...somehow.

Exactly! Just like other schools aren't as in tune with our situation.

This. A lot of the players/former players/coaches who left don't like Dooley. I don't blame them. Others will have to learn to live with a real head coach,regardless of who comes in.

Why couldn't Dungy win a SB with his own players?

The answer is Dungy is a defensive minded person. Gruden took that anemic offense and taught them how to go out and win. NOTE: I'm not saying they were a good offense, but they learned how to outscore their opponents.

1) Jon Gruden

2)Raheem Morris

3)Rich Biasscia(sp.)

4)Jeremy Bates

5)Keep Graham on staff.

In the nfl they are not the coach's players. The GM has the last say so. This arguement is invalid.
