SAIP,

Apparently there has been a directive from the SEC that no coaching announcements are to be made the day before the SECCG. I would greatly temper any expectations of anything tomorrow. Sorry, but I just found this out. Just being up front.

I heard the same earlier this week. Not sure I buy it.

We will not 100 percent close this door, but we continued digging into the Jon Gruden situation after our afternoon update and we’ve learned enough that we’d be surprised if Gruden and UT even had any more serious discussions about the Vols' coaching vacancy. It’s very important to note that from everything we’ve heard, this isn’t necessarily about anything UT did or didn’t do in its efforts to land Gruden. In speaking with multiple college and NFL sources close to Gruden and UT athletic director Dave Hart, we have been told Gruden has decided that he’s simply much comfortable with the NFL as opposed to the college game. Rules and regulations, lack of recruiting, abundance of practice time and other differences seem too big for UT to overcome. He’s just more comfortable in that league. UT has done a lot in order to get itself into discussions with Gruden. But we would be surprised if they go anywhere else from this point. We rarely say never, and this isn’t one of those rare times, but we would be surprised if anything more develops on that front. It’s true that UT and Gruden weren’t on the same page with money, but we think that could have worked itself out if that were the only issue.

So... it didn't exist, then the report was BS, then he reported a meeting cancelled he didn't know anything about... now he knows all about it? Riiiighhht.
