What I've heard is that Gruden is being held up at the signing stage by his desire to bring in Rod Wilkes for a year to act as the defensive line while he restocks the roster.

Already leery of Gruden's offensive mental capacity and scary sideline demeanor, conference officials feel that Rod Wilkes would be too much of an unfair advantage to restore his last year of eligibility.

I’m in the middle. I think by name alone he’d draw recruits. You can’t judge an nfl record for how one would do in college. I honestly think he’d be successful, but I could be wrong. That said, as bad as we’ve been, I’m all for giving it a shot, but I also don’t blindly believe “everyone with a source” or certain people in the Gruden thread. I’m believing Currie, “don’t believe a name unless it comes from him”.

Great coach with superstar media recognition.

Would be a phenomenon visiting high school coaches as well as players. Fan base would totally unite and UT would be a juggernaut in 3 years.

Old man Saban is nearing the end and Gruden entering the league would help chase Nick cash his social security check.

Gruden doesn’t have College Level Experience and that’s true.

However, he knows the game of football and is an X’s & O’s, old school type coach.

His name alone would attract high quality recruits. I mean the dude is literally on TV every week, not to mention all the advertisements that he endorses.

He has his own Gruden QB camp so there’s no question he can develop young QBs at the college level.

Sure, there’s always risks with coaches but Gruden has all the tools to win big here at Tennessee. If he wants in, you bring him in!

SOON!

Lots of stuff needs to happen between now and officially announcing the hire; namely navigating the logistics of bringing together the staff/assistants and ensuring everyone is on the same page. I'm more confident right now than I was in 2012, and that's saying a lot.

Agree with everything you say here. Just know any date given will be taken as a hiring announcement. That won’t be 11/26

So the big question is why give us info on VN..info we assume is true. Info that as things are leaking we can look back and claim we knew it 5-10 days ago.

Couple random thoughts..SFD you're better at connecting dots.

- As simple as something this big someone wants the story told

- We're being used as data collection to shape the narrative..what to leak, what info and misinfo to put out, etc. VN is a sample size of Big Orange Country, we're the cross section being polled.

- We're being used to influence, the problem with this is everything is centered on this thread, not VN or any other forum. How many people truly see this ONE thread and keep up with MIT and Bubba? Counterpoint to this is it could be a folk movement like the 1800's, except we're spreading it with social media.

- Lastly, and I hate to say it. This is all a complete misinformation campaign. The Kansas City Shuffle. We are all staring at Gruden and another Coach is being locked up, possibly an NFL HC in Baltimore or someone completely out of left field. We have no idea where PM has been.

One thing is for sure, this has been well thought out and executed. Ten people on here can shape ten different narratives, or one person can persuade the other 9 to their point of view. There is just enough information to create perfect confusion.

Did a pretty good job of connecting the dots yourself.

From Hubbs

"Waufle is an old coaching colleague of his who might be his DL if Gruden decides to take a job either in the NFL or in college. Again, I still think the percentages are low that Gruden is the Vols next coach."

Waufle currently coaching for Buffalo - DL coach.

Yeah. I know. It’s just I really believe and going to be so sad if it don’t happen. I’m trying to think best to worst case scenarios. Lots of worse cases than best floating around.

Herb is on board so there’s that too. Everyone tucked in and me in the bath puff puff passin to myself. Trying to chill out. Don’t mind me.

I'm just teasing. I love the rabbit holes.

I don't know how the crap I quoted me instead of Faceless.

Tuesdays as legit as anyone to me. Only person thats tried to prove anything to anyone on this thread with evidence. If hes fabricated anything then he is trying way to hard and has no life. Otherwise he's a good dude and loves Tennessee. Im going with the latter.

GRUDE
SOON
