It is pathetic, sad and embarrassing. Maybe he comes here, maybe he doesn't but one thing is for sure: by loudly proclaiming him the savior of UT football before he is even hired, we are shooting ourselves in the foot.

Of all the negatives any coach sees about the UT job, the biggest would be NOT BEING JOHN GRUDEN and that is not something that can be overcome quickly and easily. Whoever takes the job - and I think there is no way JG would come here - will always feel like the second choice. And any time the Vols lose, fans will point to the coach and proclaim, "John Gruden would have won it!"

And this is not just a problem for non-John Gruden coaches. John Gruden himself would be wise to consider that even he would have difficulty living up to the myth that has been created here. He must know that a four-loss season in his first year would turn the fans against him, they would point and yell and claim that he is an imposter, not the REAL JOHN GRUDEN.

Not only are all of you setting yourselves up for heartbreak, not only are you embarrassing Volnation, you are HURTING THE SEARCH. The available coaches out there know the UT fanbase has its heart set on JG. As someone else posted, the Gruden hunt is the top trending topic on Yahoo this week.

If you really want to attract the great coaches to UT, make them see that WE WILL WELCOME WHOEVER COMES. After all, the coach knows that the love of the fans is as rewarding as the paycheck. If we continue to show that any non-Gruden hire would be heartbreak, would be failure, who would want to come here? Not even John Gruden.

Our expectations aren't any higher than those of the Bammer fans after The Bear moved on and their athletic department has somehow held their football team together. Volunteer fans deserve no less.

Severe degeneritive arthritis. I have 5 herniated discs, and all my joints are shot. I should be on disability, my docs say I have the body of an 80 year old, but I hate bums. :cray: On a lighter note, I bet the Denver area leads the world in bicyclists getting run over. I about ran over 4or5 of em last year coming down lookout mountain and driving around Red Rocks.:) Them SOBs are nuckin futs.
