I believe it will be Coach Cut. Good solid pick for QB. It wont be the splash hire we wanted but def what we need.
Option two is solid with Patterson at TCU.
Kiffin would be a splash hire but the fan base would be split 50\50

A splash hire? Kinda like the splashes you get after eating too many prunes. 50/50? We have that many fools here? If it is that bad, I can finally understand the motives for genocide.

Kiffin texted Gruden, wanna see something hilarious. Mess with the Vols fan base on twitter & other social media. It never ending gold whenever you need a chuckie chuckle.

And to answer the question

NO

I would make Patterson say no, but if he does, who next?
Everyone has an opinion

I was very hopeful the other night...75%. I am now beginning to have my doubts again. I am probably sitting around 40%. I don't know if my heart can take these ups and downs. I am ready for them to announce it!

I keep reminding myself that we are TN and it seems things like this doesn't happen to us, the longer it goes on the more doubtful I'm getting and the more I'm thinking we will have to google our new head coach to find out who he is or we will get Norvell or someone like that(Butch 2.0)

You know....I have to wonder how we and this job are being perceived by other coaches right now? This hysteria over Gruden clearly shows that fans consider Gruden to be the be all end all to this coaching search. Anyone else hired will be viewed as a disappointment before he coaches a single game.

Many have stated, and I agree, the new guy will have to be sold on this job. So my question is how you sell any candidate that they're a second, third, or fourth choice? For example, how do you sell Patterson to get him to leave his current job where he's adored to come to UT where he will always be viewed as a fall back guy to Gruden? And before anyone says back up the Brinks truck, those days are over. We've seen example after example of big name schools being turned down and having to settle for an up and comer or coordinator.

Have to think the fans attitude and behavior can be a hindrance to selling this job to a "name" coach. UT fans can be their own worst enemy at times. This Gruden hysteria does UT absolutely no good when we are trying to find a great coach and convince him this is a job worth uprooting the family and moving to. So when we end up taking a so called Google coach or coordinator, let's not be so fast to blame Currie. The Internet twits on this board and others like it have done him no favors.

The returning weapons on the O should help sell the job. The passion of the fans is the other. The idea that a coach could win here makes them a legendary hero (ie: Manning, Tee, CPF...ect).

Go back and read the 2012 cliff note thread and compare it to the 2017 threads. You will see several of the same insiders, and many of these insiders said back in 2012 several times it was 100% done. I know they have some excuse for why it didn’t happen, but apparently they don’t have an idea what 100% means. Yet here we are again and people only hear what they want to hear. If it doesn’t agree with their hopes and dreams it is fake news. That is cool, but it doesn’t equal reality. I want Gruden to be true, but rumors on the internet are just rumors.

As much as I (and most fans) would love to have JG, I am highly skeptical he is coming. And the fanbase is beclowning itself with all this attention to him.

The wailing and gnashing of teeth by the delusional on here will be EPIC when reality kicks you people in the crotch.

Gruden is NOT coming.
