Funny how on the day insiders say gruden is supposed to give an answer, Miles is removed as a candidate, even tho he was supposedly #1 option, if gruden fell through...but hey what do insiders know?

It’s raining here in Nashville. I feel a sense of relief and the misery of the last two weeks are drifting away.

It’s showtime on the Hill!!!!

May today be the start of something great at ole UT!

Well, if we end up with Steele instead...

Same...it's a ludicrous notion at this point. I put them both in the same basket with Chad Morris and Mel Tucker....names that never should have been mentioned for this job, especially at this particular point in time.

We'll get what we accept, and likely deserve it.

Let me rephrase that it was a tweet and it was from @volquest1986. Don't know how credible he is but someone else also posted that the team had been called to an 11am meeting. Sorry been following this board for months but don't know how to attach the link from mobile.

He is referring to UCF and that Les Miles may be Guy they hire.

Exactly...anybody else you can think of that's beaten him 3 times?

3-7, lost 5 straight. 30% is a decent percentage, though I guess Freeze might have the better percentage, Dabo too.

Saban evolved his offense, while Les did not. He was something like 2-9 when giving up over 28 points in his last few years. Gotta have an ELITE D if Lea is your coach. The only teams with fewer passing yards were the Navy and GTs. Wouldn't mind this if he was a defensive mind, but sadly he stakes his claim on offense.

It’s between Troy Walters and Neal Brown it seems.

Miles seems to be a fantasy hire to them. If they get Les good for them. Tennessee Tennessee’d, again.

Who, besides yahoo, has said Miles is no longer in the mix? I missed it.

Got a call from the third base coach from Phil's grandsons baseball team, and he told me they have hired a coach and who it was.

Once it is announced I'll let everyone know if I have accurate inside information.

Yesterday Gruden was a no. Then something mid afternoon shifted and I thought. it was the news I got that Petersen interviewed. Then Gruden doesn’t say no on TV and Petersen turned it down last night. Now, Show is upbeat. I’m here and working up my optimism again. But my wife left for a week, I have all 4 kids by myself and I received the text that it’s between Miles and Morris. Totally underwhelmed. And it’s raining. I’m a little grumpy up here but I’ll get over it. 😉

But news is reporting Miles to UCF

Catching up this morning. Got a text from a friend of Thunder. Here is the summation. Basically stuff we already know. But relaying the info for confirmation.

Gruden met with TN Sunday.
He has until today to make a decision.
Thunder is pushing Gruden #1 And Miles #2. Both with Tee as OC. HCIW

And when I asked if thunder thought gruden would accept. Here is the response.

"He is unsure. Said that Currie deal had him pretty hot. Now it's more of an image comcern after they turned us into a national **** show."

Like i said, this is third hand info, so TIFWIW

If Gruden won't come and work for Fulmer, who is extremely well-liked and respected in coaching circles, then that is on him. John Currie is no longer associated with UT. Whoever the coach is, they have a clean slate to work with Fulmer to re-write the narrative surrounding UT football.

Mentioning Brohm with Stoops, Meyer, and Sweeney is speculative at best, and more than likely delusional.

This has nothing to do with Gruden. If Gruden was never born, Brohm would be an equally disappointing choice.

If Grude had never been born, then none of these threads would have ever existed. It is like questioning existence itself.

All things that Les has had time to think about, and could likely be forced to address if he were to be hired.

Again, his three wins against Saban put him in an elite group. Nobody else on our list, save one, gives me much hope of getting over that obstacle any time soon. I know the importance Phil places on beating Bama...it's why I don't think any of the B-listers are the way he'll go. None of them look like individuals who can take on Saban, and come out on top.
