Just my opinion but I think we are hearing all this Mullins talk ramp up now because we are so close to naming a coach . Can’t get a bump and or extension from MSU if we name our coach before he has a chance to pump him up . If I was MSU I’d call his bluff and see what happens lol .

Hopefully your right and Schiano and Taggart just need a raise to, scaring me into thinking we need to jump on one of our top choices fast before they are reality

Today, I walked into my bank here in Charlottesville, VA, wearing a Vols hoodie. One of the employees piped up and asked, "Do you REALLY think y'all are gonna get Gruden?"

Poor feller never saw it coming; I unleashed with a geyser of verbal frustration that made his eyes go crossed. It was as if I blacked out and let loose with every word that has been posted here over the past two weeks. When I spiraled down out of my Big Orange fit, I looked at the clock and noticed I had been talking for an HOUR!!!

Soon... (or I won't be able to show my face around this town).

This. I keep explaining to my friends/family the goings on that we're privy to here in the Gruden Threads, and the more I repeat them, the more it becomes obvious this is either the biggest troll job in history (unlikely), or JG is coming to UT.

I don't want Mullen, but to play devil's advocate his record at State means very little. James Franklin, who I easily consider a top-10 coach, had an SEC record of 11-14 with a record of 1-9 against ranked opponents. I will argue against Mullen until I'm blue in the face, but this should not be the argument we use.

Saying that, I really with these Mullenites would GTFO.

Even worse than Mullen, Simonton said Greg Schiano's name is back in play due to ties between the school and a certain agent. He was down the list but he's back on the list.

I doubt it they have a game this week. If Gruden is not coming that is not a bad plan b. He is better than our last few hires but I legitimately believe no one really knows what is going on so there are wild changes in candidates

It's a horrible plan. Mullen should not be a part of any plan that involves Tennessee.

This may have already been covered but I heard on the radio that boosters are saying that gruden is a done deal but it wont be anounced until after the sec championship. Has anyone heard this and if true why on God's green earth would we wait that long. That is utter stupidity in my mind.

Not that Gruden would have to name his staff as soon as he was introduced but maybe to keep those potential staff members from being bombarded with questions. Idk?

Especially if Auburn beats Bama and CKS maybe being in play for DC?

I just heard on WKRP that Dan Mullen and Jimmy Hyams are meeting in the Virgin Islands tomorrow to discuss Tennessee's KRFL (Knoxville Radio For Life) Coordinator job. The biggest hurdle to overcome is for them to successfully end up on the same Virgin Island, since they never discussed which.

We're sure they'll figure it out. Or die trying. By cannibal sacrifice. Not saying Virgin Islanders are cannibals, just that Jimmy and Dan deserve that fate. Or something like that. Anyway...carry on.

I thought this was supposed to be a good list? Every name other Gruden seems to be complete s-h-i-t-e!

I was at the ball game Saturday night. As many Gruden chants as I heard I think this fan base will be severely disappointed if someone else is picked. I have been pro-Gruden the entire time but everything coming out about the Mullen stuff is starting to make me a little nervous.

Here's what's gonna happen.

Tonight, Gruden wears orange tie.

Tomorrow, press conference to announce Gruden.

Currie does a mic drop and hops the plane for the Bahamas.

Thursday, a great thanksgiving for all Vol fans.

A girl can dream, eh?

Ok I’ll buy the filler just to keep the circulation going...


This is becoming ridiculous.

I’m now waiting for Someone to break the Les Miles getting serious attention story.


Or maybe someone should tweet it to Swain since he gets his stories from here anyway

No, not really. No secret revelations. Not a news-flash - but he believes...soon.

I think all the information that can be out is already out. He appreciated the combined deductive work, and wanted to say so.

Cool. I take absolutely everything he does as a sign. Call me crazy, but I think that's his job, honestly. Every follow and every like, to me, are indicative of his approval. That means your deductions were correct, and that is a positive for sure!
