I think Skeeter has been in on the Gruden situation this whole time. He's been pushing a bunch of smoke our ways.

1. At first all he was hearing was Smart but would always say we're going to go after a proven coach.

2. Chips are falling in place and he's trying to cover them up after he said Hart told the boosters to put their money where their mouth is.

I'm calling BS smoke on skeeter is this one man. :)

I think you'd be happy to know that CP has moved to 15th on Kiper's Big Board ahead of Justin Hunter. I'll give you props, I was wrong and you were right on this.:hi:

Double down on that statement. As much as a majority of this forum wants Gruden - one thing remains - he is not a proven college head coach. Mora, IMO, the minute Washington feels Sark is no longer the man, Mora would bolt to the Huskies.

The main positive I see with Gruden is recruiting. UT spends the most in the SEC, and probably the country on recruiting. I can't help but think that having the Gruden name as head coach would have more kids contacting us rather than us contacting and visiting them. Especially if he's successful.

Funny thing, timing...

Guys: I have no idea what will happen with Gruden, but this sure makes for compelling late night reading.

Its been common knowledge for years Gruden wants complete control at his next stop. With Cheek here that will not happen. Like ive said, Maybe gruden relaxed his demands, i dont know. I have no idea whats going on with Gruden. I do know Hart has plans of speaking with other coaches not named Gruden.

I have believed for some time now that Cheek would not be with us next year -- not sure where I read it, but it was from a good source and backed up by another good source. Besides, if I read it on the internet, it has to be true, right???

As for Hart speaking with other candidates, I hope he does. If he does hire Gruden, I want him to be sold on the idea -- I know all the arguments for hiring Gruden, but I still think there is a good deal of risk to hiring him. He has never coached at the college level, certainly not as a head coach or coordinator (yes, I know about his time as a GA back in 1937 or whatever), and knows nothing at all about recruiting, especially at the SEC level. His offenses are also notoriously difficult to learn and run so Bray would not have a prayer under him.

Gruden hopefully would work out like everyone hopes, but if he did not work out for whatever reason, we would be sitting in a terrible position to get started again.

I tend to like Mora as a very good, but less risky choice. He has worked wonders with UCLA this year, and handed Kiffin his butt on a platter last week. I watched that game and was very impressed with the way his team played with a ton of energy and discipline. The were obviously a very well coached team and we could get him for about half the cost of Gruden.

He needs to. I'll add, that I wish CP could get his grades in order and return as well.

The entire triumvirate needs to come back to improve their game -- none of the three (Bray, Hunter, and Patterson) are ready for the league. Bray needs a lot of maturity and needs to concentrate on the mental aspect of the game. Patterson needs to learn that one of the things that receivers are expected to do in the NFL is to run routes, a concept which is totally foreign to him.

Hunter is not even close to being the uber explosive, athletic wide receiver that he was before his injury. In fact, since he came back this year, he has been an average SEC receiver -- and one who needs to concentrate on actually catching the ball, especially when it is crunch time. Personally, I believe that Rogers has been a better (and more reliable) receiver this year than Hunter.

Just my opinion...

I'm still skeptical of the Gruden hire happening. This feels eerily familiar to the Shannon situation on Steroids

Would love to see at least two of them return. Bad part is that to many people have knowledge of CP's classroom performance. It's possible that he could want to return but would not be able to.

Hey nick, if your around, would you mind going over to the Gruden thread and reposting your "manifesto" of what a VolNation insider looks like and the things they say with the fill in the blanks and subsequent options? Someone new pops up fitting that profile twice and hour at least. It's really comical, TIA.

97 SEC championship game vs Auburn on fox sports south right now. Ch 649 direct TV

Edit- just amazing how much talent on that team. Also, I miss those visors like Leonard Little had. Looks badass.
