Here's the thing, while it would be a major Tennessee dream for Gruden to announce on MNF, it's just not going to happen in that setting. That's just not the proper place for such an announcement. Even if Gruden was to say "this is my last season calling Monday Night Football" that's all but a admission he's going back into coaching which would cause reporters to hound him mercilessly.

No, I expect this to be an utter surprise for a great many people including the media. For the maximum shock and awe at this point, (remember the best and worst kept secret out there) Currie starts a normally scheduled press conference, speaks about a few unrelated things and casually mentions "oh, and by the way, I have news on our coaching search. I'd like to bring out our new head football for him to make a statement..."

Gruden walks out, reporters go wild trying to get the first question, Hyams quietly seethes as he tears up the questions for Dan Mullen he's been carefully crafting for the better part of a month and Freak has to shut down VN from the maximum boomage the traffic produces.

"When E. F. Hutton talks, people listen,"

for better or for worse....We have had many E. F. Huttons in many threads the last month and a half, some supposedly sharing facts and some sharing opinions of when something is going to happen. The mistake made by some is choosing to drool over every word member so and so speaks just because they have become somebody for whatever reason. The mistake should also be shared by the "E. F. Hutton" members that choose to give opinions but attempt to portray it as fact in order to keep their followers entertained. This has been one hell of a soap opera with many commercial breaks. There have been a number of professionals and a number of standins. It's been left to the reader to try and recognize the difference. At the end of the day We all want the same thing....a strong University of Tennessee both athletically and academically. We will get there some day but only under Mr. Curries terms.

I'm a firm believer that Gruden is coming. With that said, he cannot deny rumors on MNF....If he does, he's messing with his boss' pocket book.

Exactly. To do so, whether denying or affirming, would be to take the focus off the NFL (a product espn is already struggling with) and put it on himself and college football. Gruden is a professional. He's talked about the respect he has for other coaches. He also has that respect for his job, employer, and the NFL.

No pete, I didn't play in school. Should have played Baseball, probably was good enough, played league ball since i was like 7. But, I had other interest at the time I guess. I was too small I thought for football. Wish I was the size I am now...i would be a formidable linebacker. I was Ranger in ROTC and went to Army from high school.

I think Currie is a lot smarter than many give him credit for. He knows (should know) how to put on a show.

That's the way you do it. It's a secret, though hugely hinted at, Gruden has been in K-town several times over the past few months. How hard would it be to sneak him back in for that sort of thing without it leaking?

I want GRUDEN 100% but really don't know if he is coming. What I do think is that if he isn't coming to coach our beloved VOLS he is assisting in this search process to guarantee that we end up with the best possible candidate other than himself. Hope he is our coach SOON, but either way I think it will still be a BOOM hire!!

Interesting thought process.

Not hard at all. Particularly after the plane trolling yesterday.
