Jesse Simonton on VQ..

"Percentages are pure guesses. I think the Gruden stuff has more legs than it's had before, but it still remains a longshot per most folks."

Expect VQ to continue to play this very safe. They'll be extremely cautious. And aren't about to report on anything that John Brice has said, given their bad blood there. To admit those things would be to admit they were beat to the punch.

The VQ staff has to be the most conservative team in the business. They are absolutely terrified of being wrong.

The people saying Gruden would not be a good hire because "he's been out of the game for so long" or "hasn't coached college" are just out of their minds. Let's think about this (calling all you negaGrudes):

1. This man has watched more game film from the highest level (NFL) than anyone else in the league. You hear him say time and time again during his MNF broadcasts about how you notice 'x' or 'y' on tape about the teams playing that night. The guy eats, drinks, and sleeps film/football. He knows what it takes to be successful, what works, how to break down a defense/offense, etc. This brings me to point number 2

2. This man consistently studies and breaks-down every major quarterback coming out of college and heading to the draft. He's done this more times in the last few years than I could probably count. Doing all of this, he's been able to see how his "grade" of a player translates to how good they've been in the NFL. So you don't think he knows an elite level player when he sees them? This brings me to point number 3

3. He knows an elite player when he sees one. His name and body of work alone would give him a 95% chance to recruit any player he wanted without even stepping into a living room. "Hey ESPN QB#1, I'm 'xyz', the recruiting coordinator for Tennessee, how would you feel about coming to Knoxville to play for Coach Gruden?" is an instant selling point.

Anyways, just wanted to say SOON
To be fair, he said a lot of guys were going to be something and they weren't

And they want to keep what info they do get coming...
 
If Gruden does, in fact, come to TN as HC, hopefully he can convince Peyton to be the OC! We will be unstoppable!!!!

Hell I am impressed he's giving it 10% given how conservative he is

Gotcha. I’m a field producer for RNT and have been a part of shooting their videos and RNT-V for 15 years now.

What town do you reside? I’m originally from Camden...but live in Colorado now.

I was born in Camden 1966, Dr. Blackburn was the Dr.

Here's a nugget for you if you didn't already know. Disney owns majority stake in BAMTech. They're a small company that did the streaming for MLB.

Disney is also planning to launch a direct-to-consumer ESPN-branded multi-sports streaming video service and Disney-branded streaming service in early 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Partnership?
