Ok all you grudenites,you talk big but give no good reason why gruden would be a good hire for Tennessee. Yes he won a super bowl,with Dungys players. But failed miserably till he was fired after that. Hasn't been a head coach of any ncaa team. So he's untested at the college level. And please,it's great his wife is a VFL, but really that has NO bearing on his coaching ability.NO proof he can recruit or put together a winning staff. So please let us in on why he's such a great hire.

And yes once again no reasons. Just hope and change. Sound familar? If it's possible get your heads outta tha clouds or whereever they're stuck and give some viable reasons.
 
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???
Said it earlier..if DD has been told he is done then this is no different than when we talked to DD while he was employed by La Tech. See, it works in reverse as well.
 
Can you imagine the BOOM that will be heard nationally over this? UT has been considered an afterthought for so long.
 
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

Boom?

sorry but I have a hard time believing Gruden would be flying commercial to Knoxville
 
Anyone one pick up on what Basilio said his opinion on what the Big Boosters want during the SC game? But he wouldn't say it on the air.
 
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 futvure coach while the current coach is still employed up to the point of actually signing a legal document.

I fully agree that contact measuring interest from candidates is being made. As I stated before i agree everything you say is happening I believe is possible except for the written agreement part. Verbal is possible but not written.
 
Never forget how dismissive Bryant Gumbel arrogant ass was when Kiffin left us. He is a USC grad and just acted like why would anyone stay at UT when they could coach the great USC.

Havent there been examples in the past of coaches who have been told they are fired but are allowed to coach a bowl game while the new head coach has already been announced.
 
Regardless of if he's flying commercial or private, where do you think he would land?

UT's private airport.

No, but seriously, if he weren't flying commercially, he wouldn't be in the terminals. If they saw him pull in the front entrance, it would be a different story.

Makes sense, though, because that weekend, Hart was using the UT jet to go court Belichick. He said he was happy where he was, so we're stuck with Gruden.

Oh well, gotta have a backup plan.
