I'm out guys, early day tomorrow. I have to start pulling the roof off another barn.

Hopefully I finish in time to watch the game.

Really??

You never heard of the coach at Boise that was competing and beating the P5 schools like Oklahoma, Oregon, etc?

He was a national sensation for several years.

No, not heard the name enough for it to stick anyways.

I’m thinking the perception of having national exposure that no other coach has

Again, I don’t know and certainly have never read the rule book or if there even is a rule for this scenario

Hmmm. Maybe. I just don't see how the NCAA can get involved if Gruden is finishing up his contract with ESPN.

Now if Gruden got on MNF and started talking about specific recruits or recruiting in general, while under contract with UT, that would probably run afoul of the rules.

He has to be. By his own words they can't interview anybody saturday. It's leaked that something is happening soon. That doesn't get leaked if Currie doesn't already have his man. There won't be anymore interviews. It's over, It's Gruden and always has been.

Not happening. Hell, he rarely even speaks of him and didnt even mention him in the latest War Room this morning on TOS. His top 3 was Mullen, Campbell, and Shiano. It's really odd how he avoids talking about Gruden at all. He talks about Thomas being approached. He notes Steele has been approached. However, he does not mention Gruden in that connection with it.

Honestly, the folks over on TOS are ready to revolt over the coverage of the coaching search. If it weren't for recruiting, I'd consider moving to the other paysite because they really have sh*t the bed these past few weeks.

Right so who the **** has approached Thomas and Steele?! Maybe he is promised the scoop but seems like all media is on the same page to some extents

Our insiders continue to say it's Gruden. Done deal. Today Hubbs said that Austin Thomas was being looked at to join next staff. That would be consistent with what we have heard regarding Gruden and him building his staff. Then an article came out saying that the UT facilities crew needed to get stadium cleaned up ASAP. They typically hold new coach introductions within the stadium and photo shoots on field, etc. So many of us believe that means an announcement soon. Also, Currie was in Knoxville all day today and just returned from Bahamas, so we all believe he already has his guy lined up.

Been in and out and this connected the dots. Thanks!

Guys, as much as I want to see Gruden as our next coach, there’s no way reporters are not mentioning it beside they’re being told not to by the administration. Not Hubbs, not Hargis, nor anyone else. These guys make a living by reporting news. If they sit on news and someone else reports it first, that chips away at their credibility. These guys aren’t going to risk their livelihood because the administration says “you can’t.” If they know something, they’re going to say something.

Hubbs:

In talking to people today, I don't think there is anything for sure set up for some Sunday announcement. Couple of sources I spoke with said they didn't believe anything would be announced on Sunday.

I admit that I thought there would be more activity today. I thought Currie's return on Thanksgiving would mean he was heading somewhere today. Mullen made the most sense. Outside of Mullen, other candidates are playing today or tomorrow. No one is doing an interview the night before their game or the day of the game.

As for the Gruden stuff, my stance hasn't changed.

I’m behind, what was Hubbs stance on Gruden?

That’s kind of what I’m thinking, not necessarily naming names but just bringing up UT several times

I know if I was a head coach I’d be pissed that he’d have a nationally captive audience and I didn’t

However there may not even be a rule since this exact scenario has not happened, so maybe we have a loophole
