Several unnamed sources within the UT athletic department told outlets other than the Chattanooga Times Free Press that Gruden has pulled his name out of the running.

Pretty dumb post, seeing as though you're literally doing the exact same thing to what I posted. Think before you speak and all that

But my obsession isn't with your thoughts and opinions, it's with the University of Tennessee, something that I love enough to realize that when we're being laughed at, is time to man up and show the world who we are : A united fan base hungering for wins that re not attached to the delusion that only one man could make possible. It's disheartening that these people have such a low opinion of UT and its capabilities.

I'm just owing going to stop right there, it became redundant to me to continue this rant, particularly to, such an ill conceived quote.

Carry on

That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read on this site. And that is saying something. Our fan base is no different from other SEC fan bases. We are mocked for losing.

This.

It's like they're gleefully happy they can tell the fan base they were stupid and should have read their pay sites to know their high and mighty truths.

Bruin based upon your posts since the Gruden deal went off the rails, you have placed the blame on Gruden and that basically he obviously did not want to come to UT because each time UT (donors and AD) thought the deal was done, Gruden kept throwing out more demands. I believe that you also said Gruden was some kind of attention whore. Is my understanding above correct?

While I don't believe that this is how it went down, I would concede that this may actually have occurred.

That being said, why is it that you absolutely refuse to see the other side of coin? Is it so hard for you to consider/concede that perhaps the fault lies with Hart, as some posters (supposedly in the know) have suggested. Many media sources have commented that Hart has quite the ego, some have even said he is a hard-ass (not in a positive way). Others have gone so far to say that some of the big $$$$ donors do not trust Hart. Hart has been involved in college athletics for years but he does not carry the clout of multi-millionaire agents and coaches and multi-millionaire/billionaire donors-business people. These big-time donors sphere of influence/power extends far beyond the confines of UT.

I guess what I am saying is that either scenario is quite plausible so to each their own. I will close with saying that Hart was wanting to keep Dooley around had he gone 7 and 5 which should make people question his decision making.

I believe it's possible hart axed the deal. If he did its becasue he didn't have the money needed(I don't believe that reality) or its because gruden asked for control that would up our program at risk. (Compliance control issues which is very possible IMO)

Now I have stated hart could have put the brakes on the deal

I think we should sticky a list of usernames that said, at any point : "relax, enjoy the ride" or "it's a done deal" or "we will be eating turkey..." or "I'm not an insider, but have a very reliable source".

Put these people on display. Never, ever let them live it down.

Even after the agent stuff on Friday, this still doesn't seem like a normal coaching search. You hear hubbs, Rucker, etc talking about coaches hart is interviewing, but you don't see anything from other media outlets at these other schools. Usually, word leaks from other places that coaches are being interviewed.

This is why I still think Gruden is in play.
