Guys, i've been 100% that Gruden is coming and I still am. IF the reports are true about Butch Davis then this is a sad time for UT Football. Who out there actually thinks this is a better hire than bringing Fulmer back? Which coach that is left on our list is a better option that Fulmer? I know I'll get flamed for it but this is an unstable program right now and we need stability BADLY! If we can't get Gruden then we must get Fulmer back. If we can't land a coach thats not in the $4-5 million range then we are settling for another Dooley. Either Dave Hart is a complete idiot or a complete genius and has us fooled. Flame away :rock:
NICE JOB STEVO!!!!!! (how do I "like" a post? I'm green at this)
Hey - I see you are not a grudenite.
Cool.
So I have been wondering: how has your week been?
Have you enjoyed the coaching search? I bet it's been fun watching coach after coach reject us.
So while you've been soiling yourself in embarrassment, we've been happy cheering for Gruden.
Huh - isn't that strange. At the end of the day, we're all stuck with the same coach. But during the process, we are loving it while you are mr grump.
Please stay for a while and listen - you may enjoy the process too!
All part of Hart's masterplan. Hire Butch Jones, someone Dooley beat and average only 30,000 per game next year. That will force the issue with the school to make the academic changes that are needed because of the huge drop in revenue. Fire Jones after a 4-8 season, hire Gruden and all in well with the world. Soon but not very...1 year wait.
Guys they have to hire someone soon, and have to get someone that will say yes. I know no one wants to believe it but NO major winning coach will come here right now. A lot of private concerns have been made public and those will get fixed, and Jones is a solid coach.....MUCH better than Dooley.
When he backed up on Colorado this morning after Strong surprisingly turned us down, I felt like this was coming.
Ive been hopeful but skeptical. Id like to believe but at this point I think Dave Hart is just an idiot. I also dont think his stay at the University of Tennessee will be a very long one.
Tail # N901PM LJ60 from Hayward, Ca (Oakland/SF Bay) still at KTYS...historically, this jet only stays in one location for a couple of hours, It's been here for 22.5 hours, no flight log has been submitted......Lamonte is who I think was on board.
