It wont just be the message boards. The students are as convinced its Gruden as we are. Maybe more-so.

Let them announce Strong or Golden without addressing the Gruden stuff and it will get ugly fast for anyone hired.

And for those that did the hiring.

Man, most people not on these boards are a little more open to other coaches.. Nowhere else is this considered a sure thing, or even very likely at all..This is the only place I've been that is just sold on Gruden being the coach.. Most around Knox/campus I've talked to think he's a longshot.. These boards don't speak for the majority of fans.

It is a "Gruden" thread...there are other threads for many other potential hires...and their followers hang there...jus sayin man.

The thing that pisses me off is that he was referring to our conversation and must have failed to read that we had come to terms and agreed to disagree.

I'm with ya brother. I was talking about everyone who says gtfo if you don't agree with them. You at least will listen to other people's ideas. Most on here won't.

If they can get Gruden and don't, then I do not envy Dave Hart. This campus will literally riot if Al Golden or another lower-tier coach is hired.

2nd that. If Hart is interviewing, that's fine, and should do his due diligence, just in case, but UTAD needs to do everything possible to get Gruden. If Gruden falls through due to some glich over "special admissions" or something like that...matress burn.

Sorry if already asked and answered but I have been away and can't read all the post missed.


Any reports on whether or not hart is on campus today or off seeing candidates?

Well I am literally 1 hour away for the historic GC game.... This town is rocking, can't wait. Hopefully you all get to see it. It's on TSN, and NBC Sports.....


Well back to UT football. Major development and it's a big one. A quick lesson on how coaching searches unfold. And now it has shifted into high gear. I heard that a UT media personnel has now been granted full disclosure within the athletic department. I am unaware of how this unfolded with the past hires but this is huge for the fans and public of Tennessee administration.....


Was not told who was granted control but after asking a few questions.... AND I DID ASK guys.... Simply put. This means you will now be hearing or reading the coverage as soon as tomorrow. As you know there has been zero coverage of this situation. But after today you will begin to hear the UT football search. This is the best way for administration to gain popular style control similar to pro teams using a spokesman. This is really also how media reports become available sooner than it's officially been reported.


Another source of good news for Vols fans is last night (found out this morning) that major Vol players in this search spoke to Jon Gruden once again.


So this is all good news for us. And hopefully in the next few days we will begin to hear as everything goes public.


And for those trying to crack it.... you are extremely close as it's almost there. And it will make sense and you will know the real _______.

I heard several students and fans around campus from a month ago until now that want and think its Gruden and only Gruden. It will be mass hysteria if it isn't, especially without a cool down period in between.

Basilo said UT wants to see what else is out there? Wtf ... and gruden lowered his demands? What the hell

Haha that is NOT the way to calm the rabid fans down. He's trolling.

If Gruden just said now then it would be fine, but if UT passed on Gruden?! LULZ mattresses would burn

Ok, time to call out some Basillo craziness. If all kinds of NFL people are saying "you don't want this guy" in regards to Gruden, then why does his name pop everytime there is a NFL vacancy.

Thanks, but that all just sounds odd to me. Wouldn't gru dog want everyone here to know that he wants to be here?

i should have stated he didnt want to be seen as a guy who went after dooleys job while he was still employed by univ of tenn. that is a big no no in the coaching world....

Of course you can have your own opinion. But it's like being a Tennessee fan in a building full of Alabama fans. People aren't going to agree with you.

And I'm not gonna agree with people either. But I would certainly never tell someone to go hang themselves because I didn't agree with them.

Gruden thread is full of people wanting Gruden? I can't believe that is the case? 120K posts and eleven threads.

That's all well and good.. Just don't have to attack people who don't think he's coming.. I don't think anybody said he sucks and we shouldn't want him.
