Don’t know if it’s been posted but Trey Wallace said on periscope that 60 percent on Gruden still. Tennessee has talked to Chris Peterson, Jimbo Fisher,and Chip Kelly. He also said out of a left field hire would be Chris Peterson.

If, for some odd reason, this didn't pan out the way we wanted it with Gruden. I'd tend to think the majority of our fan base would be happy with a Petersen hire.

There was a meeting with Currie and a lot of the big boosters on Saturday evening. The same Saturday evening that saw #grumors grow to absurd levels (looking at you, Calhouns). On Sunday, we started getting a lot of bad news (not all - but a lot of it not great).

It's not farfetched to assume that an action item discussed was to get all parties to deflect as much as possible over the next few days to allow Currie to do this on his/Jon's time.

1) AD starts leaking information about upcoming coaching interviews (all the while Currie is traveling to the Bahamas)
2) Gruden has one of his ESPN buddies pieces put out a piece saying he didn't think he would coach in Knoxville
3) Boosters start leaking information that there are more problems that haven't been sewn up yet

With the exception of a few steadfast posters, a lot of the #grumor frenzy has died down this week to at least a low murmur. If they're operating on a timeline (say, 11/28) and need to keep the distractions to a minimum until the time comes, this seems like the perfect execution of that plan.

Of course very few know exactly what's going on (including myself), but you don't even get to this point "in negotiations" for a second time in 5 years without knowing what Jon needs to accept the position and having all of the legwork already done including the academics portion. That doesn't pass the smell test imo.

I believe this along with the AD and Gruden are trying to give the perception things were not done when they really were. I think Saturdays "meeting" which we amazingly find out about is so we can all believe Currie met with Gruden to discuss the job, found out how much it would take and discussed this Saturday at the game as if it couldn't have been discussed any other time the past 5 years. Both sides don't want the perception the deal was done before Botch was fired and are playing out a storyline they want us to believe. If you believe in Gruden to the hill I think you believe it was done before Botch was fired but hey if they want me to believe there story, I believe!!! Just want Butch gone and Gruden on the sidelines next year. Gruden til its not.

You know, I love nose art. Im amazed at people who look at it and think it’s objectionable. Really? Some bad painting of a nude woman upsets you? Have you considered what the machine it is on was intended to do? (Hint: it was to do much more than simply hurt feelings).
