People are snappy about it. I don't have a problem with people like you, I only get mad at the people that come in here and say it's not happening just to start a bunch of crap.

And I get mad at people who aren't insiders that say the deal is done with 100% certainty.

But with all of the connections inside the program I KNOW Hyams and hubbs have, they still don't give Gruden a 5% chance of happening? There has to be a legit reason for that..

No reporter worth his keep will report something before he is allowed or before he knows 100%. Hyams, it has been stated several times that he has been out of the loop since Kiffin took the reins. His ignorance has cost him multiple contacts. And it has been stated several times that Hart, Cheek and about 5 boosters are in the know on UT's side. And Hart is not leaking anything to his AD office, so Hyams and Hubbs do not have the contacts they need in this instance...

All these folks are claiming that Clay Travis is the big Gruden apologist that it's going to happen.
I just read his blog for today, and he's got a 30% chance on it coming to fruition.
I want it to happen as much as the next guy, but that's not exactly encouraging. And he's the Grudenite media darling?

Nobody has said that to my knowledge.:hi:

Question: Does VN want Gruden for coaching ability or because of his name. For me Super Bowl says it all.:thumbsup:

Yeah and he is the only one that high the rest say under 10%. I want to believe butam starting to have my doubts. The longer it goes without an annoucement the less likely it is going to happen.

That's fine, if I say I'm 100% certain I say it's my opinion. In all honesty, this could be the longest series of threads with the most inside information or it could be the biggest troll job on this site. We're going to eventually find out.

Jimbo was #2 with half the chance at 15%.

So his point was no one really knows anything yet. Kind of a common thing amongst the people that cover the team for a living these days. Hubbs latest post pretty much says the same thing. Skeeter has pretty much said the same thing.
Hamilton knows what's going on, he's taking his time, and he ain't talkin'.

I just don't believe Peyton would give the athletic dept. a **** ton of money unless he knows who the new hire is and has taken part in conversations concerning the new hire. I think it is done. It seems to me the papers have been signed and the athletic department has been working on financial matters. Why haven't we heard anything at all? This has been the weirdest coaching search I have seen at UT. We have literally heard nothing of relevance from the beginning. If we were interviewing coaches then it would leak out at some point. If it were done with Gruden ESPN, Gruden's agent, or Gruden would have already stated it. Think about it, do you think ESPN would prefer to stay silent on this matter if they knew he was staying on MNF? No, ESPN would prefer to dispel those rumors quickly.

Peyton obliviously loves his university. It's very easy to see him supporting tenn by giving a large sum of money to get things fixed trusting Dave Hart and this in control without his knowledge of who the hire is especially since hart has made it clear that Bama has nearly 100mil in reserves and we have less than 2.

Ok I sense some tension in here..what the hell is going on?

About to jump from walnut street bridge in nooga. Forum needs a little Xanax to calm down. Could be good news! This thing is about to break. I can feel it more now than before. Somebody is working TOS over hard.

Real good sales pitch for both to negatively explode away same time. May be Hart's last shot at holding back news.
