Would babyvol put his neck on the line for Gruden being our next coach twice? I would think he would play it safe unless he knew without a shadow of a doubt this time. Just my opinion though.

Gruden is coming... I don't even know babyvol but he is legit. He confirmed info I got before him last week. Gruden is coming. I just want to know an announcement date!!

FOX sports guys said he saw texts where a coach admitted lying to a media member about being contacted by Gruden (he told the media member he wasn't contacted), in order to keep the Grumors from sparking up.

Do we know who that could have been? The coach and the media member?

Kacy Rodgers is merely a smokescreen, they have their guy whether it be Gruden or someone else. What has me excited is that who else could it be?

I like and agree w/Swain's theory on the Kacy Rodgers deal. That UT is putting his name out there as someone they they are looking at, just to help get his name out. Makes sense any how. Vols taken care of Vols

If not for the clawfense we likely would've had a fairly successful season keeping Phil around at least another year and likely dodging the Kiffin debacle. The clawfense was the start of the slide.

I agree in part, but the slide started long before '08, even before '05. It was subtle and inconspicuous in nature, but nonetheless, it began long before the ouster of Fulmer. I won't litigate that here, but think about who was in power at the time, and the movement of the AD from beneath the President to the Chancellor. This, IMO, is where one should look, if they're seeking a timeline.

I would venture to guess that staff decisions are being made not only for the immediate future, but also with some long range plans in place. I don’t think the people who are rumored to be working behind the scenes (Fulmer, Manning) want to ever see Tennessee return to the last decade of incompetence.

There is a ten year plan in place. This is why we are hearing vfl names. They want it set up to be for the long haul. When ever gruden steps down they want the next person to step in with the same passion

From Babyvol on VQ...

"Just want to clarify that I’m not positive of date of announcement. At this point my best guess would be Saturday but it should definitely be within a week now. I’ve confirmed at least one former VFL will be joining the staff (defensive side), others have been approached but I am not privy to their decision yet. I won’t be more specific than that as I don’t feel it’s my place. It’s a great time to be a TN fan!!!"

Boooooooom!!!!!!!!

Last time, he knew Gruden was delivered on a platter to Hart and all Hart had to do was say yes. He didn't see Hart turning it down, but the Bama Commie did.

I heard that too. Didn't they say he was on the defensive side of things?

I understand the disdain for Chavis, I really do. I couldn't count the times we had an opponent on the ropes and Chavis came through in a bad way. That said, we haven't fielded a defense that could come close to carrying the jock of what Chavis put on the field. IIRC, TN was 3rd in total defense in '08.

Perspective.

Well Tuesday I choose to trust you. You are adamant about knowing Tee, and it seems to me that Gruden is very interested in being our coach. I’ve been on this message board since Dooley, and I know a troll doesn’t stay on a board and say legitimate things like you do. I think you know Tee, I think Tee has told you Gruden wants this Tennessee job, and I think you are right. People question you, but I won’t because I can tell you’re a VFL and you know things that are going on due to a good relationship with Tee. Keep the info flowing.
