Oh wow, we lived just around from there on Belcher for awhile. East Largo-Clearwater was where we lived for almost all the 9 years we were there. 😎

Lol...ladies and gentlemen...it’s time for a brief tutorial on how to spot a fake twitter account:

1. Are they verified? If so, they will have a blue check mark by their name.
2. Do they have any followers? If they are tweeting out “breaking news” with 32 followers then you can bet the farm that this is fake.
3. Do they have anything in their bio? This is under their picture/name. If it’s blank, then there is a 99% chance it is fake.
4. Look at their tweet history. If they have 10 tweets all within a few days. They are the equivalent of a poster with 1 post on VN saying gruden isn’t coming.
5. Before you copy and paste breaking news please review the aforementioned steps.

Have a Grude night everyone 🕷Y2🍌

I understand but there are no conspiracies there are a lot of facts that have come out that point to what has been said but you have to read and research.

I don’t believe posts about the coincidence of one guy leaving his job six months ago points to the idea that there has been a plan all along to fire Butch, hire Gruden and plan the next 30 years of coaches.

Plans for stadium build and remodel? Yes. Plans for sports facility upgrades? Sure. Financial plans to iron out pay for new coaches, paying off old coaches and keeping the whole athletic department on solid funding? Absolutely.

But planning the different successors of the football team for the next 30 years? No.

You have no clue what you are talking about. I am sure Gruden (and every other coach interviewing for the job) has their plan on how to succeed. Absolutely. It involves recruiting better and coaching better than everyone else. Earth shattering concept, I know. But when was the last time assistant coaches stayed anywhere? Look at Saban. All of his assistants went on to be HCs elsewhere. We have no idea what the staff is going to look like in 2-3 years. It is why almost every AD worth his salt continually updates a list of viable candidates if something should happen to the current HC. What 10 year plan of coaching succession can we have when we don't know how the next coach is going to be? Weird that when we hired Butch that we did not have his successor in place.

Nevermind. You’re a cynic.

We’ll have to wait and see but I think there is plenty reason to be skeptical. But again, that is my nature when it comes to these things. I work in sciences so I’m not someone that believes things until I have proof and verification.

My husband. The opposite. He believes the entire world is run by a handful of people pulling the strings in every nation hell bent on destroying western civilization.

So yeah, I’m skeptical of conspiracies.

Conspiracy nuts are the true skeptics, I think you are off in how you see yourself, you are the one accepting everything for what you see on the surface.

Brice was on a podcast earlier today that he believes it's a coin flip that Gruden comes to Tennessee. Also says Gruden is genuinely interested, and put a timeframe of Sunday or Monday on when we should know if Gruden has accepted the job. Pretty much what everyone already knows, but thought I would share.

There is new leadership from top to bottom. From the chancellor to the AD. I’d suspect you are much younger than me. But I just turned 40. Used to live check to check and my family was even on government assistance for a few years. But by the favor and grace of God and some work ethic, my wife and I built a business that’s paid is 7 figures the past 9 years. And you know what changed? How I planned life. I began to plan things out and implement a life strategy. We have 4 kids and have plans for each one that is 5-10 years down the road. I say that to say this: we are precisely were we are as a football team and a university because we didn’t have the leadership to see beyond a few years. That’s why I’m all in. I believe Currie, Fulmer, Peyton and many others realize that TN is at a crossroads and if they don’t put a plan in place, not a person, we may never regain our dominance. They aren’t planning the coach for the next 20 years. They are laying out the expectations of the coach. Recreating what TN football is all about. That way no Dooley or Butch Jones will ever step foot in Neyland again unless it’s to take a beat down.

And that is great. Exactly how you should be doing it. I am just saying as far as some meeting about 10 and 20 year plans going on right now with brokers down in Tampa is not true. His job as AD is to already have that in place, in conjunction with the BoT and Chancellor, but only for the things you can control. Making sure the stadium and practice facilities are top notch. Making sure the Thornton Center is running smoothly. Making sure endowments for scholarships are funded. We have that plan. No one can control the success of coaches and longevity of their tenures. There is no plan beyond getting the next one right. Currie will continue to watch the market, sure, but we have no ay of knowing who the next big coaching stud will be. They could be a current player with no coaching experience right now.

This weekend the VOLS jump out to a 10-0 lead and Neyland is rocking. In between the 1st and 2nd quarter the Jumbotron comes alive with Currie thanking everyone in attendance. He goes on to say that "brighter days are on the horizon and with that, I would like to introduce your newest head coach, Jon Gruden." The stadium erupts as Gruden runs out of the tunnel and the fireworks echo across the campus...
