So what happens if we don't get him?

Mass suicide

 

[HDTVDinner]

So what happens if we don't get him?

Prepare for the worst A.K.A. Al Golden.

 

[gnm53108]

So you think I'm wrong?

Pretty much....yeh. Top 10 alltime winning program.

Our last two hires...I'd agree with ya.

 

[slobberknocker]

It was like a Justin Bieber concert in here last night.

 

[Orangeslice13]

So what happens if we don't get him?

It all turns to crap.
The big money boosters have said their money is for one guy only.
We miss and it's project time again.

Hargis: Jon Gruden's name only one creating unified buzz for UT | timesfreepress.com

I am guessing this is the article he is talking about.

Get behind the next football coach at UT.

In my bones, my fear is that Petrino is option 2. Hope I'm wrong.

Exactly. Four years does not constitute a "long history." It seems like FOREVER though, because it has been f'ing BRUTAL!

There is also this one:

Jimbo Fisher, Bob Stoops deny UT coaching interest | timesfreepress.com

Plan b....


Don't think there is one.

 

[bcartervol98]

That was before DD was fired, I think.

That was between Vandy and Ky iirc. My friend that would know confirmed those kids they were recruiting were contacted "immediately" after Dooley was fired. He didn't know what they said but we both deduce that was when they most likely gave the 7-10 day timeframe.

 

[Lexvol]

If there isn't a plan B until the presser, then our AD is a sham.

I hope you are wrong, too.

Good thing you're not the Witch Doctor

Hmmm, or are you?

 

[Jake]

I did send a text yesterday to my friend in the Haslam camp...I asked him to shoot me a text when he was told the coaching search is done and he was at liberty to disclose.

Never heard back...crickets.

I have also tapped into a source that is close to Trey Teague...one of Peyton's best friends and Trey is completely and adamantly shut down.

TIFWIW

If Gruden somehow doesn't happen, and for the reading challenged I think it will, but if it doesn't I am 100% fine with Petrino if Strong, Golden, or Fedora are the other options.

 

[hohenfelsvol]

I think the odds of an announcement of some type exponentially increase with each passing day this week. I cannot imagine any scenario where we do not know by the weekend, even if as someone said to announce an announcement on Monday if that makes sense.

If you're associates/bosses trips were canceled to seal the deal I would hope the deal was done. That in of itself doesn't mean an announcement forthcoming this week but damn I hope it does.

 

[MFL]

Prepare for the worst A.K.A. Al Golden.

Golden = end of football at Tennessee

Not disagreeing with you, but Jordan Wilkins was the recruit that it came from and Hinshaw just visited Memphis 2 days ago I believe. Maybe they were told that info on that date as well

 

[bcartervol98]

As an aside


My favorite time in the thread is from 7-9am.

We'll need an extra warehouse for Petrino. Lots of excess baggage.

Very possible. Just discussing not proclaiming lol.

 

[orangepeopleeater]

If its not a home run hire that unites the fanbase expect empty seats, mad fans, 2 and 3 star recruits, and a loss of funds because boosters will prob drop out.
