Im no insider dont have any insider information either to start things off. I do think there is some validity though to Gruden rumors. Neither party has anything to gain at this point by not shutting the down. The University of Tennessee is doing the next coach if not Gruden a huge injustice. Whoever hired if not Gruden will be a huge let down to many in the fan base. I know our administration has to be smart enough to know this. The longer the Grumors go on with our putting an end to it the less attractive the position becomes to another coach. For Gruden I know people keep saying he loves to be wanted and it drives his value up. I get that with other coaching positions. However, this one is a little different. This one hits close to home. Literally! His son is at the University of Tennessee. His wifes family and friends are from here. This is their home. The longer he toys with this fan base the more likely he becomes a villan To this fan base. Look at Kiffin after he left us high and dry. I know Gruden didnt leave us but the fans will feel like he just played with them for his own benifit. With all that said i feel like if Gruden isnt our next coach both parties have seriously mishandled this situation. Heres to hoping Gruden will be our next coach.
