After Friday I'm moving on to lobby for Petrino. Stoops or Fisher seem logically out. No one left. Got a strong feeling we end up with Strong. My still reliable source said that about the time the Gruden stuff got started.

According to Auburn Undercover (@Auburn247) website, 'Bobby Petrino is closing fast.' Added, 'little doubt he is seriously in the mix'

Another tidbit I heard,
Look for Hinshaw to move to FL as wide receiver coach. I also hear Tee will be leaving his current position! Mmmmmm.

Unsure if true but thought I would pass along.


Patrino was also told to stop calling our AD and that we were not interested. He was begging for the job basically!

I'm sorry but I can't believe we are willing to let Hinshaw walk. I know it's the coaches call and that everyone wants TEE here, but we are gonna have a brand new starting WR Corp. after that, we have to hope none transfer because of Hinshaw because he recruited these guys even as a QB coach. We are gonna be very young and thin at WR. Lets hope our running game carries us next year whoever the coach. Don't want him gone at all

To be honest, the exact same thing could be said about Gruden, but none of you want to hear it.

You can have reservations against Gruden but fact is the vest is a sure fire kick in the nuts. You live in Germany. I grew up in Ohio and live here currently.
Believe me, to say you want tressel is equal to pissing in the wind- you are going to get pissed on

You misunderstand me. I don't want UT to fail, hence the reason I'm so dead-set against the hire of Jon Gruden. I may be wrong, but facts suggest that I'm not. However, if I am, I will admit to such.....but it's gonna take a hell of a lot more than some face-making and the name "Jon Gruden" to convince me. Consecutive national championships should suffice, I think.

To answer your question: If the show-cause could be lifted or reduced, I'm firmly in the Jim Tressel camp. Like him or not, the man can absolutely coach his rear end off. If not.....I haven't given it much thought, but Butch Davis wouldn't be a bad hire, IMO. Stoops isn't leaving OK, and Fisher's not leaving FSU any time soon.

Thank you for that answer and for not being condescending in doing so.

Gruden= Tennessee Winnng BIG. But once again there are other great options out there, but with Gruden recruiting would be so freaking fun. 5* Galore

I think there is a huge difference in NFL and NCAA FB. I think if indeed he does get hired that our recruiting makes a huge jump. I also feel that the kids will play hard for him trying to make an impression. They know he has the right NFL connections. I think their are better X and O coaches out there. I don't think they could get the talent in as fast as Gruden though. To me that is the main attraction of Gruden.

And what happens, with his history, when all that (tentative) talent just goes to waste because the head coach can't do anything with it?? You're not going to get more talent that he did in the NFL, sorry. There's no Derrick Brooks/Ronde Barber/Mike Alstott/Warren Sapp coming out of high school any time soon......

We may be better off roster-wise, but are worse off relevancy-wise.

Time will tell, we had to settle for a coach way down the list with Dooley because no coach really wanted the job, lets just hope we don't have a repeat....Tennessee Football won't endure another Dooley....so it's Gruden or Bust

LMFAO....I grew up in GA...lived in MO, NC, TX, GA, MI, and TN. What's your point?? Oh, wait....you're saying the same exact thing about Tressel that I'm saying about Gruden, aren't you?? Now you know how I feel, huh??

Awww, I got put on ignore cause I hurt a poor widdle Gwudenite's feewings!!!!

#grudenisGARBAGE

I'd rather have the HFC at Fayetteville HS (throwing that one out cause I lived there as a kid) coaching the Vols than Jon Gruden. However, keep on keeping on, lemmings....IF Gruden is hired (which is looking far less likely as the days go by, or so I keep praying to every deity that's ever been recognized), he WILL change your tune, ladies and gentlemen......and I'll be sitting in the corner laughing at all of you.
