I bet he did.

Seriously though, my point is that certain recruits may be being contacted by Graham.

I agree with your post though, one way or the other, it's probably meaningless in the scheme of things.

At this point they are telling them whatever they have to to keep them on board. The new coach will make the decisions needed and I have no doubt that work is in the future not past.

The ad hasn't said anything. It's locked up.

Boosters are the ones leaking.

Basilio is just spouting of stuff to stay busy

Agreed. Hart has done a solid job plugging up the moles. If any leaks happen, it'll be from the boosters. Mike Hamilton didn't do a good job in keeping news from leaking.

I like his show, but I agree with you. He loves to pick at people. Myself I think he is full of **** like a Christmas Turkey.

If nothing else, the Pearling Post didn't need to be in the cliff notes because of length.

Summarize and we'll talk.

i'm glad we might not get gruden. i think jim mora would be a much better hire.

It's good you think that because the chances of us getting Mora Jr., IMO are significantly less than getting Gruden.. Unless you really think he will dump UCLA after one year. A pretty good year I might add..

I post on hogville.net and have for a while as im a vol 1st but i root for the hogs when it doesnt affect ut,with that being said the similarities between the og's here and there are frightening and mentioned to another person over there that i think there is a good chance that if he were to spurn both schools the grudenites from both sites would unite end to some sort of end times cult. It's actually quite fascinating to observe. I hope everyone in vol nation has a safe and happy thanksgiving and go big orange.

Trying to use Basilio as a source just doesn't work to me. When we hired Dooley, there were 5 people in the jet before it was officially announced.

Man, I wish Knoxville could get some real reporters.

I like his show. I think he is funny. He loves to play both ends against the middle most of the time.

This really doesn't make that much sense. I just don't see how Gruden could be more interested in Tennessee than Tennessee is in him. I understand the 10 year contract deal, but if Gruden is really that interested in Tennessee why wouldn't he take a 6 year deal with the same amount of money per year.

This really sounds like it lines up with the info that Skeeter has given, and if I had to bet, I would say Basilio's sources are in the AD and are telling him about the Mora interview on the 25.

I have heard all I care to hear about Golden. His record as a head coach is Dooley #2. He has a freaking losing record for crying out loud. Give me a freaking break. If he makes the alleged list of three then Hart is an idiot!

I'm too full and happy to argue with you, so fine, sometime in the future, some unnamed coach will start fresh evaluating all of our recruits and then they will notify them of their future.

I am. And I promise you I want Gruden here, but I strongly believe a lot of "insiders" are gonna have to apologize when he isn't hired. That's assuming they ever show back up.

They do have their necks way out....The only poster I have found reliable is Mr Skeeter. I've only been on the site for a year. I'm sure there must be others you can trust. The other one i found reliable is deerpark. These folks fueling this thread with so called inside info still in the jury room for me. I hope they are right. I really hope they call Stoops. If Golden is on harts short list and that level coach gets in it's over for football. Maybe Coach Martin can make a basketball image.

I had gone all in on the Gruden thread but the more some of them talk, the more suspect their stories are becoming. I think people would be wise to not flame the OP
& also to go into the Gruden thread with cautious optimism. I don't really care what anyone chooses to believe but many of the things being said ab Grudenville could be said ab our thread & it is a little embarrassing

Same exact thought process here.

Tb is a vol fan but he is fos about 90% of the time. Lovie's plane is still circling knoxville.

Yeah he has to entertain to keep listners but he is not the only memeber of the local media who says that there is a small chance it happens.

He says stuff just to keep you listening. Two weeks ago, Gruden was a done deal and now he isn't according to Basilio. Gruden ain't coming here. If he did, I would be behind him 100%, but it's not going to happen.

My lunch sucked. Hoping for better dinner. Anyway didn't realize we were argueing.

The only thing about this is whatever Graham or any other coach says to a recruit shouldn't be taken literal IMO.

This is crazy. I think Hart can feel the excitement from the Vol faithful for Gruden. If Hart had the opportunity to get him, and turned HIM down as TB seems to be saying, then buh.. bye Hart..You're toast . Don't think it's plausible

Dooley was hired BEFORE we interviewed Kippy Brown...er, "all but" hired before interviewing Coach Brown...that is.

Hamilton wanted to give Brown a true shot » GoVolsXtra
