I don’t understand why some of you are being so critical of Curries decision on Jennings. There is no telling what the full story is. All we know is that Jennings posted a video bashing the coaching staff. Even if he was 100% in the right, he should not have posted a video for everyone to see cussing up a storm and using racial slurs. It wasn’t a good look for the University.

This. We don't know the full story, yet, but it bothered me that as he was doing his rant, it was plain to see him wearing the University of Tennessee gear. Not a good representation of our university.

Sorry to hear about the arm..stick with the flying! Just started in a 172 for my PPL.

I like Wheat in the summer and Stouts in the Winter..I don't understand the IPA infatuation. To bitter for me.

Freak is going to have his hands full repairing this site if Gruden isn’t hired.

This thread is the only thing enjoyable about this forum. VN life outside of this thread is beyond miserable.

I will not discuss/watch another second of UT football if we hire Mullen, Frost, Kiffin, Campbell, Norvell, Taggart, Schiano, Brohm, etc.

As outspoken as I have been against Mullen. I love UT, and will always be a fan. So even if he is hired. I will still be here hoping for a win every week!

Frost I would give a chance to, Kiffin I would stay just for the lulz. The others are both incredibly lame and boring hires. Freak will save on bandwidth / hosting with those hires for sure.

It will take me a while and I am still going to be the first to say "I told you so" but if I've stuck around for the past decade, I won't bail in the next 4.

He has reached out to others on this board and set up golf outings with them...he is not a troll, trolls aren't willing to meet their victims face to face and if you have been paying attention you would know that he has a specific job in getting this deal done and has been spot on with his predictions.

I apologize if you feel like I’m attacking you. I’m not meaning for it to come off that way. I’m just trying to understand why so many are willing to believe this guy.

I have went back and looked at nearly all of his posts. There’s been nothing he has said or hinted at that was not information that had already been circulating.

I believe we all want Gruden so badly that we’re allowing ourselves to be trolled, at times. We’re so emotionally invested in our football team that we’re being fooled by ourselves by emotional reasoning and confirmation bias.

Look, I would love to be able to believe this guy but all the things I’ve seen him post, gives me a very STRONG sense that he’s FOS.

As far as setting up a golf outting. It’s never gonna happen. It’s basically drunk talk. I guarantee you he’d never show something would “come up”.

VNR, i second that motion and have said as much on here for the past couple of days, if we don't go for the gusto (Gruden) now, then we'll be watching mediocre teams compete against other mediocre teams while the SEC elites are competing for a bit more than champions of life and leadership reps and we're still sitting on our respective thumbs hoping for another chance. We've been there, done that, as other teams have done, but we're due our respective place back in the limelight and if we don't make a stab at trying to get there, I'm done. I'm not up for another 10yrs of this garbage, and it isn't the players, we are on an upswing there and the state is producing more and better players than we have in a long time. We just need to give them the leadership and coaching they deserve to succeed. Please don't screw this one up dudes.

And what if he just doesn't want to coach at Tennessee? Tennessee isn't due anything. Thats the attitude that has the football program in the shape that it is. Some sense of entitlement. Oh we have a T on our helmet we can just hire anyone and do whatever and be successful. Not anymore. That's why smart people enjoy the good times while they are happening because you never know how long it will last.

Agree with the IPAs. Sours, Tripels and Saisons are my faves, but like a good wheat and stout as well.

It's cool I don't feel like you are attacking anyone and I understand that you are skeptical but I and several others believe that he is legit from what he has posted here and on twitter and from Atlanta Vol vetting him.

If Gruden truly doesn’t have a desire for the UT job then the only consolations at this point (for me at least) would to hire Peterson or Patterson but only after Gruden has declined interest multiple, multiple times.

If for some unfathomable reason it isn't Gruden, please be careful as you disembark the wagon. It would be sad if you sustained a crippling injury that made it impossible to crawl back on when somebody not named Gruden started winning.
