Hell, if I'm Patterson and any of the courtship of Gruden is true, why the hell should is sit around waiting and playing second fiddle? So much BS about Gruden. If this guy wanted to be here, he'd have been announced by now. The writing was on the wall for Butch weeks ago. Currie could have and would have had all these details worked out well in advance since Gruden isn't actively coaching a team. This is nothing but pure fantasy and rumor. Hope and pray Currie has made his choice from among the real candidates and is pursuing him and selling him on this job. Making him feel and know that he's our number one and only choice. The idea a top coach would be content as a backup option is silly. All these guys have huge egos. No way they'll sit and wait on UT to go through a courtship with Gruden. Plain sick of all the grumor nonsense. Just ridiculous.

That's just not true. It's not a quick process especially when you're talking about everything JG is asking for and he still has the ESPN stuff to work out. It's a process that takes weeks. I think that's why Currie doesn't want the Gruden stuff to even come out. If he turns it down they can tell Patterson they were just rumors and that Gary was our top choice. Not like we could do anything with Gary Patterson till the last regular season games except through back channels. Patterson can't even interview right now so it's not like he's sitting around waiting on TN. If you're tired of it then stay out of the Gruden thread, it's simple as that. Gruden is very close to being a done deal and isn't contingent on you believing or not believing. We are all fans and have the right to believe and pull for the guy we want as our next HC. Your opinion, believe it or not isn't anymore important than the rest of ours. Like I said if you are that tired of it there is a very simple fix!😉

WR coach for JG? From one KHS grad to another, please say it's so! BTW, thank you for some props you gave me back in '92 in a locker room speech at halftime. Never forgot it. That’s a retweet from JJ on what i assume to be his official twitter has tons of followers and a BLUE check.

Sounds about right.

I think that the JG to the Hill story will break immediately AFTER the Vandy game. Maybe even during it. I know nothing, but based on his Mike and Mike statement, I believe JG doesn't want to do anything that might make another coach's job more difficult. I think he wants the season to play out for the current staff at UT and for the guys that will be immediately rumored to be a part of the new staff.

I know I’ll get flamed, but...

Finebaum and guest were talking about UF opening. Talked about Mullen momentarily and said he’d be an “underwhelming hire.” But we’re suppoaed to be ok with him?

I generally like Mark Howard but his incessant use of "you know" is incredibly annoying and distracting. It's like a drinking game at this point. Drives me, you know, nuts.

Living in Nashville area and not a fan of local sports radio. Howard and Kuharsky make me change channel. Daugherty and addition of Dawn OK but cannot handle Mickey's silliness. I usually opt for TuneIn, listen to Knox and Nooga stations.

I believe david blackburn has spoken to gruden and I am sure some others with Tennessee ties have spoken to gruden but I don't know of anyone specifically. If I did, I would for sure report it.

Guys - Hubbs said he heard the deal is done.

Hubbs.....

Should be doing backflips in here right now!

This is huge. I think it's the final cannon. Hubbs doesn't speak unless he's got solid information.

I think it's really about to go down people.

Some notes on the 105.1 interview with Hargis. Posting because it confirms several things I've seen here.

- Things further along with JG this time than in 2012
- One of his sources expects to have more info later tonight (and Hargis said he was told that after the Mike & Mike interview this morning)
- He spoke to Blackburn both before and after the Mike & Mike interview this morning
- Should move quickly and should know something definitive by the weekend
- Big boosters on the same page, which was not the case in 2012
- Money for assistant coaches was holdup in 2012; should not be the case this time
- Staff is important to JG and wants it worked out beforehand

He also said some historical things I didn't know: Blackburn, Vic Grider and Gruden were all on staff at UT in 1985 and were all friends. Blackburn and Grider were student equipment managers. Grider and Gruden both worked with QBs at the time. Gruden and Grider were roommates and have maintained a close friendship since that time.

Something David Paschall said before Hargis came on: Hargis has received apologies from both Hyams and Ainge for things they said to and/or about Hargis following his 2012 article. FYI, Paschall and Hargis work together at the TFP.

Wrote this quickly, so please excuse any spelling errors.

Thats a very good summary. However, you left out that Hargis said a source he relies on gave the deal a 1 in 3 chance of getting done. Thats only 33%. That is not very positive
