Would they really have an 8pm presser during the BBall Game?..... I'm disappointed that I put that Champagne in the fridge now....

No. And if they did that's a disgrace.

If any of this is true, then Gruden would probably just be finalizing things, getting the fam here, etc. and presser tomorrow IMO.

We have to remeber that in the full spectrum of Vols fans only a handful of us use message boards to keep up with this stuff and drive ourselves crazy. Alot of people get their news from actual news sources and that tends to make them a little behind on whats going on. Not bashing at all; I tend to forget this too sometimes.

Sorry. Didn't mean for it to come out wrong.

And you are correct sir

If Bray comes back he will break every record Peyton has, just my opinion. I think he and Peyton are very close when it comes to throwing the football. The rest is maturity that comes with time.

I for one would love to have one of the most purely skilled QBs Tennessee has ever had back for his senior year.

Agreed. I think he has attitude problems but none severe enough to actually want him gone. Alot of people on here saying get rid of him. I wouldn't want to get rid of a proven quantity.

I agree with this. One learns respect from someone he respects. I got the feeling he never respected Dooley. Not sure about Chaney though.

Not bashing but its the truth. He is very immature compared to other QB's his age. His actions tell us just that.

And he has had a coach that 32 of the 37 schools we recruited during Dooleys tenure give us a failing grade and some said they would no longer facilitate access to their programs. For 3 years. Under that stellar leadership I can see where attitudes could be seen as immature.

I agree 100%. But his antics on the field have rubbed me and other fans wrong, including in the Vandy game. You dont see many elite QB's his age acting that way. They are supposed to be leaders. Jmo

I think gruden would knock some maturity into him. Would love to have a more mature, senior version of bray for sure.

I was told on 11/21 by a reliable source with serious AD connects that an "insane" offer had been made to Gruden and he was thinking about it. I just hope that he spent Thanksgiving with his wife and her family here is East TN while he thought about it. That was last week and anything can have changed by now, if not I think that we have a new coach this week.

If they get him I hope they have a STRONG buyout to protect UT if he goes to the NFL, a lot more than the $800K that Kiffen had to pay.

Gruden is a like a Ferrari. I'm afraid if we don't get him we'll end up in a mustang. Love mustangs and they can be made fast as heck but just ain't a Ferrari. Wish there was a Porsche in the middle in case we don't get the Ferrari.

What kind of car was Dooley?

The sports director of WJHL TV / channel 11 in the Tri_Cities just reported the sticking point with Jon Gruden is that Gruden wants to have an AD role in addition to the HC position, and Dave Hart will not go for this. (If true, I support DH ). He also said Stoops had been contacted to gauge his potential interest, and Stoops supposedly said he is happy @ OU. TIFWIW, no inside sources, just quoting verbatim.

An assistant AD? Fu***n' give him the keys to the Haslam weekend retreat and let him sit on the TN throne if that's what it takes. I'm starting to hate Hart and his ego.

I am, he loves Coach Chaney. The whole team does. Kids do not dump Gatorade and hugs all around for a coach they do not like after beating the only team in the SEC with a worse record than you. There were many tears shed between Coach Chaney and players-parents after the Kentucky game.
