I saw Jim Haslam Sr. at the Dailey and Vincent bluegrass concert at Maryville college tonight. I worked up the nerve to go up to him and ask about the JG situation. I just came out and said, "Are we going to get Gruden?" He responded with a laugh that lasted about 30 seconds. I then said, "I guess that means NO." He said, "No one knows, but remember one thing. The season is not over yet. Just remember that. The season is not over yet." I am not really sure if we can read into it or not, but I thought that was a very interesting response. BTW, he was a VERY nice gentleman!

If it really was that long of a laugh, that's a bit telling. If there were legit negotiations taking place, they want/need to keep it under wraps. And he's right, there's just too much of the season left to be show their hand this early.

He is a very nice man. The entire family is nice. He is a classy guy and will never say anything one way or another. That's what you got. A non answer.

It means we still have games to play so everyone needs to STFU and support this team and staff.

There are games, and then there are games. None remaining on our schedule mean anything. We have nothing to gain by beating Troy, Mizzou, etc. A trip to the Music City Bowl? Please. Tennessee lost every single meaningful game it played in 2012.

The laugh was at least 20 seconds. He shook my hand when I walked up and I asked him if I could ask him a question and he said, "Sure!" Then, after I asked him the question he burst out with laughter. I didn't know what to think. haha. Pretty funny though.
