I choose to believe Gruden will be our next head coach for these reasons:
1. No denial from either party in any way.
2. No smoke about anyone else.
3. Why the hell would Hart wait for everyone else (Auburn, Arkansas, NC State, etc.) to start their coaching searches at the same time when we had a week head start? With there being limited top-tier HC candidates this year why would Hart sit on his hands and not get a head start on his competition.
4. Hart obviously wants to be the man and no other candidate would bring him the love Gruden would. In fact 90% of the fan base would probably want him canned at this point if he hires anyone else. He has to be aware of that.
5. Fact: He loves this University and has the ego that makes him want to be the guy that restores it to prominence.
6. Confirmed: He has contacted people about possibly joining him at UT.
7. I really want to get HAMMERED with my buddies the night he is announced, singing "Touchdown Tennessee," "Back Where I Come From" (Neyland Stadium concert version with Peyton), "Rocky Top," and have a reason to visit my doctor because I have been experiencing a GrudON for longer than 3 or 4 hours.
