For the posters who are saying that Gruden is not coming, care to offer why you think this? Is it something that has not been discussed in the previous ten threads? Is it something more than a "gut" feeling?

Most of the posts on here are "gut feelings" and speculation, even from the insiders. And the true insiders will soon be annointed or crucified.

I really hate that our fan base assumes the worst instead of hoping for the best.

U can expect the worse and hope for the best... Hope we get him, but still don't trust any insider here.. Nobody's given me a reason to.

I hate to see our fanbase go through another big let down, after all we've been through over the past several years, but I think that's where we are headed.
It appears we have been misguided by a bunch of charlatans that were not insiders before this whole Gruden stuff began and continue to not be insiders no matter how much approval they seek from message boards.
I'm prepared to eat crow if I'm wrong, though I highly doubt that goes both ways.

Hope your hungry. You havent been on here long enough to know how reliable these guys are.

But if I can't quote Dave Hart directly, then I'd get nervous that I was being set up for some reason.
Ask anyone who has ever broken any story how terrifying it is to break a story when no one else has it and you'll see that most who do it don't go into it lightly.
Especially in a coaching search like this. Because you can be 100% correct at the time you break the story and then a coach can change his mind and make you 100% wrong. Malzahn accepted the Vandy job and then rescinded his acceptance. Vandy ended up much better off -- no way Malzahn has come in and had the impact James Franklin has -- but it's an example of how messy the process can be. Ask any athletic director involved in the process and they can tell you countless stories about near misses. Times when they believed they had their guy and then he switched at the last possible moment.
Recent case in point for OKTC, Peyton Manning to the Titans. If I told you the guys who I'd been talking with throughout that process -- and from how many different angles they were coming from -- you guys would be like, "Holy s---!" But I can't. And so when Peyton makes his mind up and it surprises everyone around him, you can be wrong despite having been right up to that point. And you're just left out there hanging in the breeze.
I'd still write that Gruden was the next coach of the Vols, because you have to trust the athletic director, but if I turned out to be wrong then I'd get killed for being wrong and I'd just have to take it.
Even though it would have come from someone that every single one of you would have trusted as well.

Clay Travis is a master at manipulating his own words after they have been said. He's an absolute liar! And I don't need a source to tell you he doesn't have a clue. He's just an entertainer. That's all.

I'm just a newby who would LOVE for Gruden to come to Knoxville! I'm keeping my fingers crossed, and I'm now addicted to this forum!

That being said, it's obvious that something big is going down. It's possible that this Gruden rumor is being allowed to fester as a ruse for Fisher or Stoops until after the regular season is over on Saturday. Who knows for sure? At this point everything is speculation and trying to read between the lines since the AD is on lock-down!

Whatever happens, I believe Vol nation will be on board with this hire! :yes:

You may be right but this is his 14th yr and things could be getting stale, ala Fulmer.

You could be right as well but when his name first surfaced in connection with the UT job an OK booster told me he had heard no rumblings that Stoops might be willing to leave. I do think "the bloom is off the rose" with many OK fans with Stoops. They are not calling for his ouster but some think he has lost some of his fire and hunger.

WTF is your problem? You have got to be a troll because I have never seen anyone take more joy in the hope of others misery. You are an idiot first class.

WTF is your problem!?! I called someone out for calling them an idiot bc their opinion is different. Maybe I was wrong. They all think you're the idiot. Thanks for making me realize that.

Do you people not work, or have anything better to do than discuss this 24/7? I don't want to get flamed for asking I'm just curious. It's hard to keep up with what is actually going on and sorting through the circle jerk in these threads.
