My first words to him were "how much you wanna bet?"

Well, as we got into the meat of our conversation, he explained that he heard that UK may pursue Jay Gruden.

Have you heard that at all?

No, I think Jay is all NFL and gets a HC job soon. Butch Jones and Dykes is all I hear. UK fans kind of pessimistic (who can blame them i guess). I would hire Dirk Koetter if I were UK but Jones would be great for them, but no idea why he wouldnt wait for better job. I actually think UK isnt as bad a job as some say, though. I have heard Tressel some, but no way that happens. The only big names I have heard or Rex and Rob Ryan. I am almost positive it will be Butch Jones unless he changes mind, if not him I say Dykes. I also think Kingsbury should get a look but won't due to lack of HC experience
 
If we had Patterson this year being his first year we would be no less than 8-4 sound defensive mind and LOVES to pund that rock would be another homerun with his recruiting.ties in Texas!!

Patterson is my choice after Gruden, but he wouldn't be a homerun hire. He would be a good solid hire.
 
I honestly think we'll see media run with it this weekend. Don't see how it can stay quiet. I have no idea what the AD will do, but I know there is a desire to get him on the road recruiting. Sooner than later is my guess.

It will be harder for ESPN than UT to keep in under wraps with all that know internally there what is going on. There has to be a fairly substantial number there now that know about Dilfer.

No. I'm at the office (real job). Haven't been on the phone all morning.

Oh.. The guy I am going to the gun show with owns a bunch of land in Murfeesboro, lives in Farragut and knows all about every gun show down here. He was surprised I wanted to go since we are supposed to be going to the range today.

Butch Jones would be a great hire for KY. If the school would embrace football over basketball they could build that program. But I think its gonna be another up and comer looking for a launching pad job.

Basketball has started so most of them don't care anyways...there are a few hardcore "UK" fans...not "UK basketball" fans

Sounds like a sterling individual. I should like to meet him.
