agreed. none of this makes any sense, unless they're just towing the company line....and that i could buy.

but if i were either of them, and i'm being held to that kind of standard, as a journalist, i'd be a little miffed.

hyams has towed the company line, to a fault. shouldn't that credit you've built up get you something more than
"there's nothing to see here...you can print that".

:crazy:

The claim to fame of Hyams, Hubbs, etc. is access, not breaking news. They aren't going to stick their neck out and go off the reservation in an attempt to get to the bottom of something.

Thanks Freak! Is there a plane inbound to Knox?

several confirm that Currie and several boosters took three planes to Tampa yesterday to meet Gruden. Some speculate that the boosters were in the room with Gruden when, this morning on a call in interview, he suddenly started talking about someone singing Rocky Top and what a great song it was. Speculation was it was a final offer sort of meeting and the entourage was there to celebrate. At least one of the planes is in route to Knoxville. At least two report Gruden is on the plane...which would support the 4pm announcement.

Apparently, they flew Michael down as well? Whether this works out or not, Currie deserves some credit for going balls to the wall for Gruden. He knows what his fan base wants and he is after it. We should know something one way or the other pretty soon.

Michael?

Cowherd is ridiculous. He's repeatedly called Tennessee a "top 10 job" and then the instant is becomes open, he starts saying "ehhh, it isn't a big job, Gruden shouldn't go there."

long time lurker first time caller, just wanted to say, as someone who owns a publishing company, this has been one of the greatest reads of my life. Been in here since the georgia game; I will miss all of you dearly when it's done. Particularly Hawk, Knuck, HearforGrumors and SFD. Just wanted to get in before this all went down. We deserve this, folks. It's happening. No more SOON we've moved on to NOW

Did anyone notice the date of the announcement was 11/19? Sunday

UTAD knew he's want to be there for the celebration. no sales pitch necessary this week imo

what good is the access if you can't get the goods on the biggest story, potentially anyway, in the last 35 years of TN football?

Just got to K-Town and checked in a HolidayInn at Cedar Bluff. Haven't looked at anything yet. Seen where cowerd is saying we got turned down. I will not take his word for that for sure. SOON! GRUDEN TO THE HILL!

I bought 2 bottles of champagne last night. One expensive and one cheap. If we get Gruden I'm drinking the expensive one and spraying the other one on myself in the front yard while my Bama fan neighbor look on in horror.

If we don't get him, I'm drinking both.

Remember when he said Alabama would never be back... and then they hired Saban.

He’s also stated that Chip Kelly is the future of coaching (about a year before he was canned) and Colin Kaepernick was the future of NFL Quarterbacking (right before he flopped).
