He can't, the Mullen supporters are a special kind of stupid...Mullen is great for Starkville, but here at Tennessee, where expectations are greater, Mullen is a train wreck waiting to happen... But really a moot point, because...SOON!

I agree he would be an upgrade, but it would be difficult to name a coach that would NOT be an upgrade.......... the issue is, we need someone who can bring instant recognition to the program and fill the people with excitement.... the name Mullen doesn't fit that description

But beating Kentucky and Vandy by just getting a solid coach helps that

A poster that I usually have fun arguing with because he gets so mad but says he doesn't. I've saved this comment by him. It got 30 likes....


"Great, another Gruden thread. He is not coming here, so the only people that will be mad/ suprised are the idiots that thought he was. In order to avoid feeling like that, folks should try to be not stupid."

The Grude News, the morning edition. For those just joining us...

Well, we managed to make it like at least...a while without a catastrophic meltdown since the last update. Which is a good thing considering how regularly scheduled the crazy was the past few weeks. And of course, by saying that I probably invited the crazy to roll back in. My bad in advance.

I will hand it to the Beaver, he stepped up and helped Vols in need via this forum. Most places call that a righteous dude. Bravo sir. And it spurred additional posters stepping up to help those in need. Whether or not folks think us crazy for believing in the Gruden, we are a community that will help each other without hesitation.

Though the Night Shift has been slacking as of late. Only a hundred posts or so last night after midnight. Shame on you people. And you call yourselves Grudenites... We should get Escape Goat in here to teach you all how to do it. What's that? EG is missing too? Well, this is awkward...

Speaking of awkward. The whole ESPN truck thing just didn't pan out. Even truck drivers have to have a place to spend the night, folks. Let's dial the Hardy Boys adventures back juuuuuuust a tad. There's a fine line between fun and excessive creepy bunny boiler status. Some of ya'll are straddling that line.

We got onto a Pokemon Go conversation somehow. And it got slightly odd. We'll leave it at that, but I will say someone's mod campaign should be put on hold until it's determined if he's actually joking about being over 30 and playing Pokemon Go.

Last full day for Doyle's poor, battered Grudometer. It's already put out a Craigslist ad seeking a new home and promised to upgrade its announcement music to something other than the Spice Girls when Gruden is announced. The Grudometer has suggested possibly "counseling" and time apart without an official separation.

No real updates from any of our regular info sources. DTO, Boro, SC, Beaver and Atlanta have all gone into deep silence mode. From lack of info? Maybe. I'll remain positive and say "no news is good news" for the status of the hunt.

In other news today, it was announced voice overs for the forum posting will be put on indefinite hold due to the ongoing strike of actors contracted for the positions. Actor Samuel L. Jackson was quoted as saying "Why the **** does this stupid **** keep saying ****ing asterisk when I plainly ****ing say ****?!" Sandra Bullock, voicing for SmokingBob, was released from her contract for repeating "that gaudy orange is not in my color wheel" at the end of every post. Also, Gerard Butler was puzzled by his representation of Comb and having to use his King Leonidas voice for every post of "Gruden...to...the...Hill!"

Additionally, actors were complaining of harassment by several of their online counterparts. Justin Beiber made the statement "it's hard to get everything down right when that Behr guy is pounding on your door at all hours yelling 'I just wanna be friends! We can hang out!' It's not that I don't want this gig, but I really can't take that pressure." Additionally, James Earl Jones said his lines were "too bland" and asked why he was limited to only saying "You just made the list" in his Darth Vader voice for nearly every post.

Furthermore, Chris Hemsworth walked off the set when Volly and SFD were found violating their restraining orders and were discovered hiding behind potted plants with large cheesy grins. Security escorted the pair out of the studio, but not before noting "potted plants typically don't move under their own power from place to place nor do they giggle." Negotiations were ongoing and an additional battalion of security was ordered before the cost overrides put a hold on the project.

From the entire Volnation News Team, I'm Grand Vol and I don't wanna hear your excuses! The building has to be at least... three times bigger than this!

Because he was a train wreck at Florida winning titles and what not right?

If it were anywhere else you’d be on your soap box wanting to know why Tennessee didn’t sign him faster.

Dak Prescott, Tim Tebow, and Alex Smith are 3 great QBs.

He's done as well as you can do with very mediocre talent available in what was the hardest division in the league.

With the recruiting bump he would get at Tennessee, he will kick ass.

Its just a bunch of knuckleheads that want to turn everything they see into a sign. If any one of them would bother tho look at the MNF schedule they would see that the next game is in Charlotte NC with the Panthers. The route from Green bay to Charlotte runs thru Tennessee.

Mullen is like 10-15 wins away from being the winningest coach in school history. And I believe that number is 78 or something?? Really? That’s the majority of the fan base right now. You’re dating a girl whos let herself go and doesn’t care about hygiene or reading good or taking care of herself in any fashion. But over there, is a girl who chews gum and can whittle. Upgrade.
If your measuring stick is Butch, then you don’t have very high standards.

If he can't convince kids by now that he is a good coach at MSU, what can he do for UT? He should be bringing in better talent to Starkville

I'm not personally a huge fan of the Mullen idea...but er..uhm....where are we ranked?

MISSISSIPPI STATE

Mullen is slightly better than Butch. Is that what we have endured 10 LOOOOOOOOONG years for? To bring in boring a$$ Dan Effing Mullen? He will have us 3rd most years in the East, maybe a 2nd here and there. He isn't winning the SEC though. He isn't taking us to the playoffs....SO WHATS THE POINT?!?!?!?! HIRE A COACH WHO CAN LEGITIMATELY COMPETE FOR TITLES....OR KEEP BUTCH AND CALL IT WHAT IT IS...A GLORIFIED TAILGATE OPPORTUNITY.

I just had a coworker tell me his uncle is a booster of some sort and the hire has already been made and it’s not Gruden. I assume he couldn’t possibly know that right

Uh, Tebow and Smith weren’t at Ms St. He was a position coach and that doesn’t count. So let’s being Dooley back if that’s the standard.

Butch Jones isn't 1/3 the coach Mullen is. So many of these points are ridiculous. Mullen is a really good coach. No doubt. Starkville is a cow pasture. You can't get big recruits to come there. Period.

That being said, there are a few guys higher on my list than Mullen, no doubt. But he's not a bad option whatsoever. If he was hired today he'd probably be the best coach in the East immediately.

Chris Landry on Bill King's show just said that no one in the NFL wants Gruden and that he is way overrated as a coach. Says he struggled with young players and basically ran Tampa Bay into the ground. Said Tennessee can get a way better coach for half the price.

FYI: Tampa Bay is 45-83 since Jon Gruden was fired and now there are grumours of Tampa wanting him back.
