No, TN would be in good hands with that hire. A couple of others as well. Gruden would be epic though :D

I agree, Petersen, Paterson and Frost would all be good hires. I know Frost isn't a very sexy name in the coaching search but everything he's touched so far has turned to gold so I would be willing to give him a shot.

If he is announced sunday how would he be allowed to to announce MNF? wouldnt that be some sort of conflict of interest if even such a thing? Is there another example of a coach accepting a HC position and still announcing games?

I haven't necessarily been cryptic, even though I am sure this will sound cryptic. I have been consistent with the very limited but what I believe to be very good info that I have. I sound cryptic because i can only add one ingredient to the pie. If i were to tell you all I believe it would be manufactured from a plethora of info that we have all seen plus the danger that hope creates.

Allow me an analogy...My ingredient makes me believe that I maybe know what kind of pie we will have. Could I be wrong? Of course.

For example...Try to find another pie that uses buttermilk rather than a buttermilk pie...i don't know of one. So...If i think I got buttermilk in the recipe I don't believe we are having a pecan pie, a pumpkin pie, or a strawberry pie. I think we are having a buttermilk pie. And, if others believe we are having a buttermilk pie as well then I say, "I think we are having buttermilk pie." Sometimes that is all we can bring. One ingredient. That is what all of us are doing. Piecing something together from what we know/don't know. At the end of the day it could be a pie we have never heard of...or it could be what we all hope it is...a buttermilk pie. Even our news regarding Austin is helpful. But as far as telling you where I got my ingredient. Sorry. No-can-do. That stays on my chest.

Urban Meyer when he was hired by Ohio State. IIRC he was doing college games not NFL

Realized something funny about myself this morning:

I used to read most of the threads in the Football Forum of VN.com. Not all of them, I'd skip over "Look what shirt I added to my Vols collection!" but anything actually about football and the team, I'd read.

Now I find myself skipping huge amounts of it, because so many threads are created to discuss coaching alternatives...that I know will never happen. Because they're not about Jon Gruden.

So these days, I'm only reading like 4-5 threads regularly. What a sea change, brought about by the coaching search and finding the really awesome community that exists only in the OJG thread series.

:good!:

This is the only thread I read on vn at all, that is why I want to keep the OG thread after Gruden is announced because the best posters are right here.
