Jon Wards description of Gruden's first Vol Walk-
Down Peyton Manning Pass he comes, leading his team like a pack of angry wolves. He follows the path cut between the masses of orange toward the cathedral of which he will make his den. Who is this man? You will all find out today, his name is Jon, Jon Gruden and in just over two hours it will be up to him to bring football back to Tennessee. Ladies and gentleman its Gruden Time in Tennessee!
Hey Jay....hope you are feeling better.
A little birdy just told me Nov. 30. I checked it with my guy and he agrees. Hope they are right.....the publicity that wed get around the championship game would be phenominal for recruiting. Seems to fit the original timeline too.
It's coming.
I just don't buy into the whole "It's done & SOON" stuff. In no way would it help UT to go any longer than it must without a HC. Players need to know, recruits need to know who the head coach will be. If it is Gruden, he could accept the job and still finish out MNF this year. Recruiting would get the boost just by the kids knowing he will be here. If we have to play the "wait" game, that would lead me to think it is NOT Gruden and is a current coach for another team. Of course then you have to wait. He has a season to finish and possible bowl game.
