really? That's the best response you have? Surely you can articulate the reason why you are so convinced that he is the answer.

I'm not saying he's not, i'm just wondering if the risk of going after a guy that has been out of coaching so long is worth missing out on a proven coach.

While the Gruden news is an obvious boom, there is a less obvious but bigger boom that most don't understand. The long term health plan for our Football program. Looks like we finally have some people in charge , true TN people, that give a frick and want to see this program Excel.

Am I missing something? DTO is always respectable. He brings what he has heard and we can take it or leave it.

The goober you quoted and another guy tried to call DTO out for his post “Tried. Didn’t work...” comment as if he were talking about Gruden. He was actually trying to load a gif on mobile. They look like total clowns now but can’t own it.

Because they will be able to come back and say well something happened over the(inset amount of days here), and I'm as shocked as you. It's been essentially across the board that those considered in the know have been vague/cryptic in their responses.

Be ready for plan b. I know gtfo.

I know lots of people have scoffed at the suggestion that this whole thing has been planned in advance, but just take David Blackburn as one example. After a brilliantly successful stint as AD at UTC, he resigns out of nowhere in June, for no specific reason, and is then absolutely silent in public...until today's TFP article.

That is NOT accidental.

The only problem I have with that is:

It was inevitable and impossible to happen any other way, but say by some miracle, Jones pulled out a 9-3 or 10-2 season. That throws a wrench into that scenario, and it's not easily reconcilable.

I thought I was going to bed; then I found this in the "outside world" on VN and had to pass it on. There's a whole thread about it, but if y'all are like me then you're mostly staying in here. Say what you will about him, Coach Johnny Majors was and remains one my my heroes. He was a well spoken, tough, defiant, individualistic and brilliant tactician. And here he is, talking about his former student Jon Gruden coming to UT.

Man I have looked for more of these all over. In fact, searched a couple weeks ago and not even a picture of them. Thought I might get lucky and see some on ebay or at garage sales. She gave me a Nat'l Championship mug that is almost white. Time for Vols to won another so I can get a new one!:) SOON!

That's the only reason I can logically come up with for Beavers and Bubbas appearance.

They wanted to give us a peek behind the curtain so that we knew if Gruden didn't happen, who was the root cause of it.

Otherwise I have no idea why they are here.

Some claim to use is as leverage. Leverage for what and against whom?

Haslam? He could give 2 craps for what 10,000 vol fans on a forum think.

There are enough clueless fans out there that would show up and support anyone they trotted out, at least for awhile.

They dropped cryptic hints about business dealings but to me that's seemed like someone "keeping the kids preoccupied " while something else was going on.

Seems to me that they were here for a reason, but that will probably never be revealed why. I don't think they really trolls but more manipulators. Feeding info for reactions. Maybe even passing info to someone else on this board.

Who kmows...

I have zero sources, so I just sift through and make up my own mind about what is real and what is fake.

I'm just ready for a change.

Oh.. to all the trolls that show up trying to get someone to convince them if Gruden would be a good coach or not, grow a pair and .Ale up your own mind. Do some research on your own. Please stop coming in and trying to troll up an argument. You aren't going to change anyone's mind.

Soon.. hopefully really really soon..

Just a thought. All of this might be the new way of doing things. If you want to control the message, who do you control it to? Those who care. And social media is now a big part of how you deliver it.

Also, when I hear about 10 and 20 year plans, I think of business school nerds, and I'm not talking about Finance undergraduate majors). I also mean no disrespect because I have two "nerd" degrees.

This whole thing is starting to smack of a well thought out and orchestrated plan. A plan that Mike Hamilton and Dave Hart would have never grasped.

So, I am starting to buy the whole Ergen/New Wave narrative. The signs sure point that way.

The plan is there is no plan. Gruden will announce when he is ready and all others will bow down!

Soon!

Hey DTO I do need to apologize to both you and Boro. I shouldn't have called either one of you out by name. Was just a little frustrated and took it out on the wrong two people. 2012 was rough, and got flashes back to it.

No worries man. I don’t hold grudges. You are cool by me.
