If it's Frost I'm done. Butch was more qualified than Frost.

Good thing it's not Frost.

Thank you from saving me from insanity for at least a brief moment in time. Now back to billing hours (Plaintiff lawyers have it made...most of them aren't even in the office this week, while I'm slaving away in here lol)

I actually had a Gruden dream last night. Dead serious with this.

Dreamed I was at the Vandy game, stands were less than half full. I'm wandering around looking for my seat, when I wander into one of the skyboxes.whwn I go inside, there's a guy with a bunch of kids around him, and as I approach he turns around and it's Gruden.

I introduce myself, go a little fanboy, and then think "OMG, I need to get a picture for VolNation, otherwise they will never believe me!" But then I realize I don't have my camera. I ask if he will wait for me to go to the car and get it, but he says "sorry, I haveta go watch my team play."

Well that totally flips me out in my dream...he said it was his team! VolNation will believe he's coming if I can just get a pic! So I tell him thanks, and race to find my car, and get my camera. I find it and then run back and start wandering through the half-empty stands during the game to find Gruden.

And I finally find him, with the kids still, in the nosebleeds of all places. I ask again if we can get a picture and he says ok, but then I realize in dream that my camera is broken, so I start to panic. Gruden is also losing patience. Then (as happens in dreams sometimes) I realize that I have had my phone all along, I should use that! So I pull it out and it's taking me forever to get the phone settings right, and Gruden is getting more and more uptight because I'm distracting him from the game.

But FINALLY I get a picture, thank him over and over, and rush back to my car to upload and tell you guys GRUDEN IS HERE!

Then I look at the photos and they are AWFUL. Like blurrier than the Calhouns photo. You can't really tell anything. And I'm like "I can't go back to Gruden and ask for another pic, he will be mad and might decide not to coach but because of me. But I have to bring SOMETHING to VolNation!"

So I decided to post my good news that I saw Gruden and here's my photo. And everyone ripped me as a troll and a liar because the photo was garbage.

Then I woke up.

The end.

I posted this earlier today. I think we both need a new hobby.

Ok so in a dream last night the family was on their way to somewhere for thanksgiving. On the trip we were passing by an outdoor concert venue where Garth Brooks was going to be performing the next day. We see a lot of cars in the area & realize that he is doing a sound check & people had stopped by to listen. So we pull in as he is finishing up & he is singing, Ask me how I know. Immediately I think, Mitch Rossell, song writer & TN fan, ask me how I know!*
Its a sign...Gruden to the hill.
SOON

I would be happy with Frost. The coaches that I think would be great at UT...in order.

1. Gruden
2. Peterson
3. Frost
4. Patterson

I think Gruden would have the biggest immediate impact for many different reasons and would obviously be the best bet to save/enhance the current recruiting class. I think all of them are great coaches with Peterson and Frost probably doing better as recruiters than Patterson. Just my opinion, but I think their personalities would go over better with recruits and their parents. I don't agree with folks who would be upset with a Frost hire. He took over an 0-12 team and have them undefeated in year 2. He passes the so-called "second year test" that many talk about with coaches. You don't have that kind of turn around unless you are a great coach.

Gruden is the clear #1, but any of those other coaches would get UT back to the top..IMO.

Here is my problem. And it is with most names brought up except for a few.

I want someone that is excited to be here, wants to be here, and is their dream job. I don't want them to bolt when their dream job comes open. I don't want them to leave when things get tough. I want them to have the passion we do as fans, and want to be here because this is the best place to coach in football.

I want someone who wants to be here and feels lucky to be here. I want the fuel and passion. That's what makes Tennessee a wrecking force.

So, with that said, I want someone with some TN ties somehow or someone who grew up loving Majors or battle saying to themselves, I want to coach there before I die. That's what I want, and that's what us fans want.

Ok, off my soapbox...

I stopped listening to Erik Ainge and his buddies months ago. Would do some of you a lot of good if you did the same.

Well, my sources have been a dry well for about two weeks. I'm talking ZERO information. There wasn't much coming anyway, but I could at least get a "it isn't Gruden" out of them.

But, I got an interesting text from my son a few minutes ago. A coach at his high school played at UT in the 90s, and he remains well connected at various levels. This morning he told my son "Gruden is going to be announced on Saturday."

I have no idea where exactly this information is coming from, so it's simply FWIW.

I want Mullen to go to Florida, Lane to Starkville, and of course Gruden to UT! I think that is the best case scenario.
