So first it was money, then control of the AD, now it's stating he wouldn't be comfortable in college like he would the NFL.

Excuse, after excuse, after excuse. None of them have stuck, yet every day, national/local media comes up with some new sticking point that Gruden is no longer in play, well after they spend a large portion of time saying he'd never be in play in the first place.

All the while, every leak that is reported lines up with what the OGs have said all along. Gruden and Hart (who aren't morons) haven't shot this down. The most "credible" voice to say anything on the matter Rick Venturi, who just so happens to be friends with Gruden, says that Gruden to UT is a very real possibility.

Tonight, the eve of the often quoted 11/30 date where every OG said things would look bleak so that Hart could appear to save the day, suddenly becomes bleak, with nothing of credible value sticking. We have multiple people shooting the rumors down, but none of them can confirm anything from Gruden, and the majority of them have shoddy at best track records. Again, Hart has nothing to say, and all evidence can't pry out a single interview/visit with any of the other people supposedly on our list.

The money, the Cindy angle, the Haslam/Peyton scenario - this has all been spelled out for us up to this point, damn near to a T. Why are so many suddenly claiming that the sky is falling when this exact scenario is exactly what so many folks have told us would happen from the getgo. It may not be tomorrow, and it may not be the weekend, but until Gruden himself directly shoots it down (when he's had ample time/opportunities to) or Hart says we've moved on, why in the world do so many people think this thing is dead?[/






Dood, he's not coming. End of story.

i have to admit, y'all may have the most passionate fan base out there.

1, 5 second sound bite from a studio analyst about a potential head coaching candidate lit this place up like a christmas tree

I know, funny isn't it? Most gullible fan base in the history of sports.

Glad to be hear. Exciting times. Fingers crossed that nothing happens at the 11th hour. This has been entertaining to watch unfold…that and the million text messages I get every time sports talk comes on and Hyams tells everyone Gruden isn't a candidate. :birgits_giggle:

If gruden deal was canned wouldn't the come out and say we are pursuing other coaches? Or gruden say I'm not interested like he did at arky. Isn't that how this normally works??

My sources say Obama squashed this.

Stated Tennessee would have to much wealth on the side lines (coaching ability) and would not be fair to other schools and ordered said wealth be redistributed equally over all schools.

All the OG's had said they would be "concerned" if Friday passed with no news, except Boro I think. I still believe we will get our guy,but I'm not as certain as I was before. Something needs to leak......soon

So, I have been lurking in these threads since Official Thread X, and I finally signed up just to say that you guys are some of the most entertaining back and forth folks I've ever seen. I sure hope we get The Grud, but no matter what, I have had more fun and audible laughs from reading this thread than anything I've read in a long time.

As long as we went all out to get him, even if he turns us down I'll be satisfied. Can't make the guy come if he doesn't want to. I just wanna know we gave our best shot

I agree with this 100%. I do think they need to address it and let us know if it's over before they prance a new coach in front of us.

I'm thinking it's Fedora, Golden, or Briles. This fanbase thinks way too highly of itself. JMO.

From what I have seen of your posts and what I know personally about what Wes Rucker is like, you all have a lot is common...

1. Both of thrive on people not liking you.
2. Both of you are not Tennessee fan's.
3. Both of you have the same coaching list, and think UT is way to high on itself.

I think you are the same person...

The only thing I really know is that we need to hurry up and hire a new coach because we need these recruits and I know Justin Hunter, Tyler Bray, and Cordarelle Patterson is waiting for a coach decision to see if they are going to return for their last season. Which I am hoping they do come back! I dont know what Tennessee fan doesnt want them to come back!

at this point I could care less if they stay or go .
