LOL there has only been ONE rejection that we know of for sure.

Tennessee has backed off a few, and at least one has been a mutual back off for now.

Why do some on here want to create even more drama?

We didn't, at least don't have proof, even offered half of your list...

No one in their right mind would have agreed to terms with a lame duck AD. No one.

What did this show us? UT is not a destination job anymore. It sucks but it is what it is.

How do you know ALL of these people were offered and rejected? Internet sources?

Nah, all just part of the multi-layer smokescreen.

We are right on schedule...

I love it when a plan comes together!

If only one coach has declined why isn't Kelly/Gruden/Mullen/Frost/Doeren/Leach/Cutcliff/Campbell our coach?

Patterson = not offered, signed extension
Kelly = not offered, Tennessee gauged interest
Peterson = not offered
Gruden = not offered.......not confirmed ever
Brohm = Brohm offered, Tennessee & he takes step back
Mullens = wanted, but once Chip signed FL got
Frost = no offer
Gruden = Tennessee gauged just to make fans happy
Doeren = talks, meeting, Tennessee steps away
Leach = NO OFFER...Admin said to meet, talk no money
Fuente = not even looked at
Cutcliff = gauged but, not looked at, he wanted to stay
Gundy = legit offer, OSU boosters stepped up
Gruden = nothing to see here
Campbell = has not been offered

SO NO I am not kidding. There were 5 real candidates to this point, where Tennessee met, tried to get something done but even with those offers were not give to all.

Greg = offer almost done deal, most didn't even know about this, some boosters, lawmakers, VFL's and fans nixed

Brohm = Currie sent to meet, and guage his, and Tennessee interest (VFL's, fans, and boosters).....he did not say no

Gundy = was interested, got a good offer....Currie let him think on it, he got a big raise......said no

Doeren = there was a meeting, he expressed interest, no offer was made, Tennessee backed off.....he did not say no

Leach = Currie was never given authority to sign him....just to meet with him. There was never an offer made, both parties expressed interest.

LOL

you said rejections......there can not be a rejection if Tennessee didn't even ask

This entire thing has been a total cluster. Tennessee has only expressed real interest, meeting, and talks with 5 coaches.......and knew some was a no go anyway.....ether by Tennessee or them.
