When John Currie Announces Gruden to the Hill

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

I don't think he will show for Mike and Mike tomorrow.

I agree. He would not want to be put in that circumstance with everything being fluid

 

[Sugaray13]

I just don't believe an announcement is coming thus week. Just don't see it happening before Vandy.

Still hopeful though. And I hope I'm wrong!

One would think with it being a big recruiting weekend that at the the head coach would be announced. They may not be on campus but hopefully he would at least most of his staff in tact so he can tell recruits the style of play and how they would fit into the new system.

Lol, and the last nugget in that 3&Out segment was that someone tweeted them they were driving to Asheville and saw the MNF truck headed the opposite direction to Knoxville.

Maybe driving from Charlotte to Seattle (where the next MNF game is)?

Those dang trucks again! Where's UTSuave?

Mike and mike will be his first real “interview” since the job came open. With all the media reports of him contacting potential staff, and at least off shore betting lines still having him as the favorite, I would be VERY surprised if they didn’t ask.

Now if he doesn’t show up or cancels...THAT would be fuel to the fire.

i know atlantavol would probably share some news if it wasn’t thought to be gruden. He would let us down easy i believe, so his silence is deafening to me. I am almost 100% certain if he heard gruden was out we would hear it from him first. Silence in this situation is a very good thing. Anyone see if he’s been active on volnation? That would be very telling imo.

ditto

SOON!

That's the exact face he made when they asked him about Gruden as well.

He’ll show up and it’ll be scripted to the T

I cant believe this name was available!

Yup, Mike & Mike are yes men and they will both do as Jon says.

 

[Orangeblood98']

Maybe driving from Charlotte to Seattle (where the next MNF game is)?

Yup long drive ahead of then

Mullen being our back up plan makes my stomach turn. That's not swinging for the fences.

Chris Petersen or Gary Patterson should be #2 and/or #3 to tell us no.

Anyone besides those 2 after Gruden, will be a huge let down to our program. A bad hire this time may very well completely leave us at Vandy status.

eh, we can, and have, done a whole lot worse than Mullen.

and i just don't see patterson or peterson leaving their current positions. yeah, i'd take either one. just don't see them as realistic.

if we're really looking at Gruden/Frost/Mullen, and get one of them, i think you could say "well done".

fwiw.

I agree, and I also agree with CWV that I don't expect him to show. I expect more fuel on the fire as this progresses because I think he's a genuine possibility for UT.

Any real news this morning guys?

If ESPN is "in the know", they may not. Depends on how tightly ESPN is controlling the info flow.

Did you all catch what Trey said about Gruden contacting a former UT coach about coming back? Dont know if it is the reports about Chavis we've heard or if it could be Fulmer or someone else?

If he shows up and they don't ask, I think that says a lot as well. It would be talk radio malpractice to not ask that question.

Lol it’s definitely not Fulmer

90% on Gruden, Kelly, or Patterson

"Boosters wanna make something happen. They will pay for a good coach."

-Wallace.

Fixed.

Mullen would be a solid improvement, but not the home run everyone has been talking about. Frost is young and his ties to Nebraska smell like Kiffin’s to USC. Him coming in and potentially bolting after a year would be disastrous. And, like Mullen, he’s just not a home run.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Not happening....I have sources.......well, not really but NO

Gruden, Patterson and very few others, maybe 2-3 at most.

Everyone else...
