Still can't get over people not being able to let Gruden go and realize he is not coming. I was the most positive I have been but now just realize I trusted the wrong people's info. Still thinking it is an elaborate smokescreen if a "grassy knoll" proportions. If I sounded like that when I got caught up in it, I am ashamed and apologize to all of VN.

I would be more than okay with Strong. It is critical to have a HC that can recruit well. I would just want to make sure the Hart let Strong know that we would pay for (almost) any coordinator he would want on his staff.

The coach matters a lot, but the staff he brings in matters just as much. Look at how big of a difference our run game has been after we hired Pittman and Graham.

Is Gundy really being paid $3.75 mill a year? If so we'd have to pay him $4-4.5 to get him. No way I'd pay him that.

I think all these names are ok. My deal is I just want someone that can get us back to level that I'm watching on TV. These 2 teams are playing awesome!!! We used to and I want it back. By God "We are Tennessee". Hart get us somebody and let's get this party started!!!!:good!:

As a regular of that column the last couple of weeks, I can say no apology is needed.

Any of the guys we are discussing are a step above Dooley. Would prefer Strong and keep our offensive staff.

Would actually prefer Shaw but not realistic at this point.

Not worth it, IMO. Just lost to Baylor and has never cared about defense.

I wouldn't be opposed to keeping Chaney. But I do like Brian White because I feel like we'd run the ball more.

I really want an OC who is dedicated to running that ball. I just don't see that being Chaney. He is too pass-happy and predictable, IMO. It sounds like White or White and Gonzales would be a good fit with Strong and they would run the ball.

Anybody else feel as if Fisher is it for Hart as far as interviews go? It's rumored that we possibly interviewed Fedora, Golden, and Strong already, then we interview Gundy tomorrow, and possibly Fisher on Monday. I would imagine that would be it as far as interviews.

If it ends on Monday I think we get a announcement as early as Wednesday.

You guys know I don't claim inside info on this board. You can check my post history. I'm legit. That said, there is a guy down my road named Abu. Abu told me that his friend "Little Bean" has been contacted about being the next head coach at UT. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Who is Little Bean?" Well... this is where it get's interesting... I don't know either.

Just something to keep in mind as we move forward in the search. SIAP

The "SIAP" is what made the post, IMO...

Yeah, I would figure there would be a decision shortly after that. Maybe one more, like Mora, but that would be about it I would think.

That's what I'm thinking. The way interviews are going, I think we get an announcement around Wednesday, no later than Thursday.

Honestly, I wish Hart would cancel the other interviews and go ahead with Strong. He's the best candidate.

We will DOMINATE the East with Strong in a couple years.

The game is kind of making me sick right now. I hate to think that one of these teams will play for the title. Never thought I'd say this, but I'm starting to hope Notre Dame wins it.

Why did Oregon and Kansas St have to lose?

I get the impression that Strong would be a hire that would unify a lot of the lettermen.

Am I crazy for thinking that?

Might not mean that much, but given that so many of them are more visible and vocal (either through social media, or traditional media), it could be pretty beneficial for them to provide a unified front.
