I think they are doomed at this point. I think they have known about the Trooper Taylor thing for awhile. I think it was just a matter of timing as far as firing Chizik, but now that he is done, things are going to go downhill pretty quick.

At least we don't have to worry about competing with them for a coach.

I HOPE Gruden was talking to Castillo about a job. The NFL season still has a lot of games to play. Why would Gruden be trying to put a staff together this quick for the NFL? Sure as hell isn't for people that wear hogs on their head.

I agree with that Wilson completely

I would bet my house that Gruden WILL NOT be a Hog

When I was sitting at the game yesterday and the band was doing the 12 Days of Christmas, I decided we would NEVER be next level when they missed the opportunity to bring Gruden out in a Santa suit as a surprise gift for all of us.

(Not that I know for sure he'd be the best gift, but I'm in the Gruden thread, so....)

Here is what I've heard:

1. An agreement was reached two weeks ago
2. From the beginning Gruden wanted distance between the fire and the hire.
3. There are only a handful of people that really know what is happening.
4. Gruden has called several coaches about coaching with him at UT. Most of which have been covered in the Gruden thread.
5. Gruden really wants to be here.

Here is what I know:
1. UT has been dealing with Gruden since the spring.
2. Academic/financial issues between the AD and the administration have been addressed.
3. Dooley is gone.
4. There are some big boosters who still don't think Gruden is a possibility (found this out on Thanksgiving Day). One is a big spender, but not among those most discussed frequently on this board.


Here is what I think:
1. Dave Hart needs credit for the hire.
2. Even if things were signed, we have always been on Gruden's timetable.
3. If a deal is not signed by now, I doubt that it is Gruden.
4. I still think it is done and we will hear soon.
5. Most of the stuff linked from the AD including the coaching list, is bunk.

Nice. The "control" issues, the idea that Hart will not talk to Gruden, and that we have "cooled" on Gruden are complete BS.

It wouldn't have worked for me. I'd have been getting one of those yummy Neyland green hot dogs, and missed it.

The notion that UT would have "cooled" on Gruden is laughable in so many ways, that I cannot believe any respectable journalist would ever suggest that, even if that is what they were told.

Look at the list of potential targets. There is not a large pool of candidates out there that would be appropriate for UT.

AND WE JUST GOT OUR ASS BEAT DOWN BY VANDERBILT!

So no, there has been no "cooling" on Gruden.
