I was answering your question of "why not McIntyre" Still, he is a no name coach. It's too much of a risk. He isn't proven enough to trust him with a program like TN in the SEC I would take Pellini over him.

because you had to include a wikipedia page cause no one knows who he is. as you said, we saw how that went with the last coach that that was true of.

there's just way too much tradition for us to be down forever. I'll never cheer for anyone else. but dang, it has gotten pretty bad.

I remember when people were saying that Gruden was our man before the Kentucky game. The only reason we didnt announce it then was to save from bad publicity. Those were the days!!:banghead2:

why didn't we go after Bielema? smash-mouth SEC type football. Who else is out there like that we are not thinking about? and what really lights my fire is the feeling that Hart really hasn't went all out for anyone. if it's true that he never even met with Strong?? come on!

I agree with you. It would be stupid to cause controversy before you even start coaching.

I see that. But, isn't he under contract for 3 more years with ESPN? How does he get out of that cleanly? I know this was probably covered in Gruden II but I am obviously late to the party.

What do you mean by "due to his present contract"? Not being snobby, I'm seriously asking. I don't know much about his present contract. You don't think that Gruden would make a deal with Tennessee without talking to ESPN first?

I guess that's plausible. It makes more sense than Hart wanting it to look like it was all him. Because if he announced it tonight, he would get the credit from the majority of the fanbase cause he is the one that will announce it in the presser and he has the title of AD.

That actually makes sense to me. Could be something to do with him and ESPN maybe?

Can someone tell me why, if Gruden is in fact a done deal, Hart would not go ahead and go public with this thing? I don't remember reading a satisfactory answer. If you say, "they are hashing out some minor details" then you are saying it's not a done deal. Right?

that's the scary thing about it. Unless we recruit 11 defensive players with speed, we will be just as slow next year.
