Yes it was. But can't a girl dream?

 

[volsrock12]

As expected!

[Vercingetorix]

Can we please put the Gruden crap to bed forever now? I don't care if we have a coaching search every four years for the next two decades, HE WILL NEVER EVER EVER BE THE COACH AT TENNESSEE.

 

[vols-1]

Nick Saban said no to Bama also. But $4 million later...

 

[theutvolunteers]

shocking....

 

[ARTaco04]

I think Gruden would be a great fit for the Vols, the rest of the SEC hopes you guys hire Calhoun.

 

[tvolsfan]

Why wouldn't they? He would be a disaster here.

Whatever, but Satan's pay at Dolphins was already $4.5 mln/year. Once you get over 3 mil I don't think coaches really care about the money. Bammer wasn't going to lowball Satan knowing what he was making at Miami so offered similar pay but with longer contract. FWIW, I live here in south Bammer.

On Mike and Mike Thursday AM he spoke briefly about TN. He said it was a place "close to his heart...he met his wife there." He also spoke that someday he may coach again somewhere. It is probably likely that he will never be at UT. I don't know this for sure, but a possibility why so many rumors come about is that he may have been contacted by UT (because he has ties to us) to get a reference about someone he has worked with in the past.
