Tressel is 10 months removed from a 5 year show cause where he knowingly allowed NCAA violations to take place. People bitterly complain about Chip Kelly's 18 month one when the NCAA said he wasn't involved and had no knowledge of what happened with the recruiting service.

Just hire Gruden and take your chances that a guy who brought the Raiders out of the wilderness and took Tampa Bay from all-time loser to SB champions, can coach football.

Haven't gone back and read every post since yesterday (so I don't know if it's been mentioned) but I heard last night, that we can throw another coach into the mix, as UT is taking a look at Colorado Buffalos HC Mike MacIntyre...2016 PAC 13 coach of the year.

Don't shoot the messenger, just passing the rumor along.

The few folks who are really "in the know" are all being quiet. Considering many of them were together at a wedding Saturday, I halfway wondered if rumors would emerge due to someone overhearing them, but I haven't heard anything.

I told my one real source early last week I wouldn't bother them until after SC because it sounded like nothing new was coming out anyway.

And then got fired two years later because he caught lightning in a bottle with another coach's players.

Oh, Great Grude, we beseech Thee, come deliver us from this ongoing never-ending ineptitude, cliche-ridden perfidy of Thy Holy Game!

Here's what Ron Swanson posted in the RF, quoting JAV from TOS. Enjoy your Grudegasms!
john gruden would be a better coach now than he ever was in years past. He's compiled volumes on the spread offense and has developed his own version of it. He still loves developing players and is great with qb's. All you have to do is watch him at a clinic. He has a model for recruiting that he would implement if he were to ever get back into coaching and has a list of assistants that he would immediately bring with him if it were to ever happen. He's mellowed out, is a great motivator and is exactly the type of coach you want to manage egos. You can make comments like "he backed into a super bowl" but you would be wrong. You don't "back" into winning a super bowl. I'm not saying that he will be the coach at ut but if you've ever been around him, you have no doubt that he could be a very good college football coach. If they go after gruden, it's going to be a great sign that they are going to fish in the deep water.

Nothing ham handed about currie. Guy is as sharp as they come.

Alot of folks who have thought it an impossibility that gruden is an option are hearing exactly the opposite right now. Some things are changing on the hill.

Obviously there's only back channel type work being done but the ball is definitely in play.

It isn't a recent development. Alot of folks are rowing in the same direction right now.

I still don't see chip kelly being an option. No way that there will be a consensus on him.

On putting odds on new coach:

Kelly? No chance. Gruden? Wish i could put a number on that. I'll just say this, if he doesn't end up being the hc here it won't be because of ut.

No one from ut is actually talking to john gruden. It is all speculative questions asked and answered by 3rd parties. It is how business is done in cfb. Coaches that are currently employed reach out to other schools in the same fashion. Most of this news is coming from the ut side of things. There is a plan and it is being worked.

Dear Mr. Gruden,

Will you please have your agent contact AD Currie at the University of Tennessess and inform him you will take the head football coaching job. Do this because you care about the university that you were a grad assistant at, but more importantly do this for the fans because we have had all we can handle the past 10 years. Please contact them ASAP before things get worse. Thank you for your time.


P.S. As fans we are willing to have bake sells and car washes to help pay your salary.
