You know what I learned once talking to someone who works a suicide help line. She told me that some people go days in their lives with no good news, no I love yous, no hugs, handshakes or anything.
She said that we never know when just one little act of kindness might make the difference.
So, if you see somebody without a smile, give them yours.

Absolutely true. Sorry to sidetrack from Gruden for a second, but I think this is important for many.

When my wife died, I really had nothing and no one around. We had moved away from our families to start our lives new in Florida, in a place where neither of us had any family or friends support. We never really had the chance to gain that support network, due to her illness. She couldn't get out, and I had to care for her.

So when she died, that was literally my entire reason for being, just gone. It was hard to get through alone. So whenever I see someone dealing with that, I feel like I have to reach out. If I can use what I went through to tell someone else that they CAN make it, day at a time, then that helps me find my own meaning.

So seriously guys, reach out if you need it. People will help you.

End soapbox, back to Gruden. :)

If I remember how this usually works is the AD has no contact with coach until the deal is done so he doesn't have egg on his face. Interesting.....

Are there any legs to all the Jon Gruden talk?

The talk could be gaining some traction, according to some sources, but remains extremely fluid.

GoVols247 was told by two sources Thursday that first-year Tennessee athletic John Currie flew to Tampa, Fla., Wednesday night, where Gruden lives and works out of his infamous Fired Football Coaches Association office.

Talk inside the Tennessee athletic department has led some to believe that the Vols have made a pitch to Gruden, the Monday Night Football color analyst and former Super Bowl winning head coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Sources have also said that the Vols have given Gruden a deadline on making a decision. If the decision isn’t in Tennessee’s favor, Currie could turn his attention to Mississippi State’s Dan Mullen.

Mullen, we reported on Wednesday, is believed to have reached out to the Vols multiple times to express his interest in the opening.


GoVols247 has also been told that some believe it could come down to Gruden, who was fired by the Bucs in 2008 and has been out of coaching ever since, choosing between Tennessee and at least two NFL opportunities.

Multiple former players took to social media Wednesday to tease that big news could be on the way, but specifics were never offered.

Here is the new info ^^^

I’m still trying to wrap my head around why Gruden would namedrop Rocky Top on that radio show out of nowhere (especially intriguing after whatshisface on Twitter said he’d sing it in Charlotte if we hired him). Potentially even more curious was the radio guy’s face/reaction after Gruden said that. Go back and watch for those who haven’t. He legit had a “HOLY SH*T” look on his face like he momentarily forgot he was being filmed.
