It is quite comical when you think about it.

I only heard it heavy when Andy was let go. I think that Gruden would have actually entertained it at the time if it were not Philly and if it wasn't Andy who just got fired. Outside of that, I have never heard anything that showed Gruden was ever in serious talks to be the coach at Philly. I definitely know that if there is rumor now about it, its the most ridiculous thing that could ever be said.


I get that is how you feel about UT and Gruden, but I don't think they are anywhere close to being the same situations. JMO

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.

put his neck on the line? you underestimate the need to feel important or "in the know"

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!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your solid info and just laying it out there. Just wondering with all the talk of Gruden reaching out to VFL's, could some of that be just to discuss the job and having their support and not all of them are necessarily for a position on staff?

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

Well, first official press conference without FORMER Coach Lyle Allen "Butch" Jones at the podium. I'm pretty sure the entire room felt a little uncomfortable sitting there with their Butch Bingo cards ready to go and Hoke walks up without using any catch phrases. It actually went fairly well without having all kinds of crazy catch phrases. I did like his emphasis on the Seniors.

DTO stated many stories of Jones will come out this week as players and staff start to leak information about his time here. I doubt very seriously it's going to be flowery. As a matter of fact, it's kind of already started. And it's ugly. Probably going to get downright nasty by the time it's over.

Bubba brought the heat earlier on Currie's grin at the press conference yesterday. Stated it was a "smirk of concealment" rather than one of humor.

That's motivating for sure. I'm pretty sure the last time I trusted a man named Bubba, my wallet got stolen and I woke up missing a kidney. So, don't mess this one up, please.

DTO is hearing awesome things. But made the disclaimer he got burned before and "11th hour snags" blew it up. I can't say that I blame him, Boro and OV for being cautiously optimistic.

And speaking of optimistic, where is Slice? Hope all is well with Red. Sincerely mean that.

BCarter is like one foot on the train, one foot dragging the platform at the station. Gave validity to the house hunting rumors from a couple of weeks ago.

There seems to be universal approval for Currie calling recruits according to rumors out there. It speaks well he is trying to hold this class together.

Face is now famous (or infamous) for making a joke out of one of Ron Swanson's posts. Apparently, the 100% guaranteed insider status joke post went viral and even Swain thought it interesting. We do tend to get around pretty good. WTH? I have yet to be Tweeted and hell, I'm the news guy.

We had a nice Beaver shot last night. Seems as if he's always lurking. Said call him the "Mystic Beaver."

Columbia Vol noted that would make a dandy name for a strip club.

And Ape showed up not long afterwards demanding scotch. Not sure if he received his bottle of Macallan Fine and Rare 1955 from Beaver yet though.

Beaver continued to tease. It's not the first time Beaver has teased a bunch of folks.

Babyvol from TOS basically implied Thirsday might get interesting. We shall see.

In other news today, the actors doing the text to voice have reached a boiling level. Due to the fact many posts come on top of each other, actors and actresses kept walking over each other and are starting to squabble over it. Freak decided to offer the deck of the Grude 1 yacht as a floating amphitheater in a celebrity cage match for them to settle their differences. It will be a true tournament style battle with 68 spots in a bracket style single elimination.

Currently, Justin Beiber (voicing for Behr) is set for one of the wild card spots and is matched against a surprisingly spry Betty White (voicing for Catbone). The Beib is a solid 90 point underdog, though that number came down significantly from opening at 200 when Racist Joe went all in on his offshore bets for Beiber. And speaking of JoeVol33, his voice over, actor/artist Ice T, was scheduled for an old school rap versus an old school country showdown with Hank Williams Jr (voicing for Jake), but injuries sidelined the both of them. So, a random drawing was held in which Gal Gadot (voicing for SFD) and Blake Lively (voicing for Sara Clark) took their place.

However, a freak baby oil accident caused by a careless Simian stagehand who tripped and spilled ten gallons on the pair as they were starting to wrangle caused the ruckus to be put on hold for the moment. Referee Freak decided it was safer to allow the pair to clean up prior to continuing the match.

8,742 members of VN immediately lived up to the Tennessee nickname and volunteered to assist cleaning the pair after Official Freak called it off. Never before in Tennessee history have so many been willing to sacrifice so much for so few. John Currie was on board for an official tour and was asked for comment about the match up of the pair as well as the baby oil accident. However, he remained tight lipped and only gave us this:

From the entire Volnation News Team, I'm Grand Vol and he doesn't know it's a damn show, he thinks it's a damn fight!

My wife is from Philly and ALL of her family is still there. So for the last 5 years we've had quite the Grumor battles. :)

Since Mike and Mike's last day is Friday, anyone think Gruden may make his announcement tomorrow, since he's been a regular for a while? (It's ESPN, Beaver)

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

I heard this was a point of emphasis at the booster meeting after the Georgia game. They are tired of 4-5 and out.
