After listening to the animal today and what Hyams said i think the only reason he is even in the ball park of the gruden meeting is because of what Jerry Punch said the other day. If Dr. Punch would not of said what he said what he did the other day we would still be hereing 5% or no chance from Hyams which is proving what ive said for a while now the knoxville media Is clueless and they are just taking a stab in the dark at a lot of this.

That dude on yahoo sports radio (david nunoz?) just GRILLED ut and its fans for even thinking we "had" a chance with gruden. Basically he said the gruden is an nfl mastermind and would have no interest in college fb...recruiting high schoolers and going to hs games. Ofcourse, he's just a talking head with no sources on this, but someone mentioned earlier how the media has been laughing at us over this. pisses me off

I'm not sure of Hyams's exact words throughout this affair, but didn't he deny any semblance of dealings between Gruden and the University? And now he's saying Gruden cancelled a meeting? If we're believing Hyams, then we've somehow moved forward in this process yet still have no chance of getting Gruden...

It's easy to see this as a smokescreen for the AD. It makes sense because he seems to just be saying anything to quash rumors instead of offering an actual consistent narrative. If that is the case, then Hyams's words take the opposite effect and show a very good chance that a Gruden deal is close.

On the other hand, the "Smokescreen" theory might only make sense to us because that's the first thing we all think when any of these media guys dismiss Grumors. Truth is, we have no idea why Hyams, Hubbs, and others are saying what they're saying. Their actions validate the early theories that local media would provide a coverup for the negotiations. But I guess there's a chance that they are actually acting on good knowledge, and a deal is falling through.

Jesus, I need a drink...

The Knoxville media aren't journalists, they are reporters... under the previous administrations, they had the information handed to them on a silver platter and reported. Now that they have to actually use journalism skills(which they don't have), they are lost, completely. All of them are sitting on the fence, all while saying Gruden is obsurd, they won't completely rule him out, because they have no clue. This doesn't mean it is Gruden, but they are lost.

Ainge did mention Butch Davis name. I personally feel that he would be the best coach out of the ones not named Gruden, Stoops, or Fisher. I think he would bring stability as well as talent.

This is seriously one of the major reasons I want Gruden now, just to see the reaction of everyone. NOBODY expects this hire to go through. Even worse, nobody even believes it has a remote possibility. If a deal falls through, I don't think I could stand the thought of these d-bags, who don't know anything about the situation, saying "I told you so." Then again, if Gruden is hired, the fact that nobody expects it is what will make the hire one of the biggest coaching hires in NCAA history.

While trying to explain my comments didn't make sense. I was going to say he allowed this speculation to grow out of control, but if negotiations are going on what is suppose to do. I changed my mind by reading how ridiculous that sounded before hitting send. You're right. I should have thought it through before posting that comment.

I understand the jury for me is still out until this hire is final. He may be a hero or a villan.....most of the speculation can't be addressed because if he opens up this process then he will never get it done and will be critiqued on every front.....

What's funny is that he and Gruden are probably laughing about all this....think about it....you could really screw with the media, they already are....y

Anyone considered the fact that perhaps Hart is calling Gruden's bluff in a sense and letting Gruden approach UT? That's not to say boosters haven't approached Gruden, but the University has not.
