Volbrian and JAV just said in regards to Gruden 2012 and 2017:
Volbrian:
Much of the OP is accurate. The exact conversations and ultimatums may not be revealed but it can be said that Dave Hart cost Tennessee a chance at hiring Jon Gruden in 2012. Will it be different this time? I would not put money on Gruden being the next coach at Tennessee but I WOULD put money on Tennessee giving him the best offer possible with everyone, boosters and AD personnel, on the same page. They will make him say no in my opinion and if he does, he is probably not coaching college football.
JAV:
The OP is pretty close. I'll just echo what VolBrian said. There will be an offer made that virtually any coach (not named Saban or Belichik) would not be able to say no to. That said, I'll believe that he will come here when the ink is dry. I do know that there are excellent options that will be pursued if Jon doesn't become a reality.
JAV:
I'm not trying to be evasive or vague at all so please don't take it that way. The 2 names that I know will be seriously pursued, I just don't want to say out of respect for both of them and those who are involved. I will say that both of them would bring their own seismic boom as well. Not Chucky big but both are great football coaches.
I'll give more context if needed
Does it perpetually rain over your head?
And many of those happened under CBJ's watch. Might have been Dooley recruits, but as the old saying goes, the buck stops at the HC level.

What point are you making with this? That Dooley and Butch don't suck? The rest of your post seems to argue otherwise.
What point am I making? What point are you making by bringing up the nonsense you did? I said "I can look back and see some positives." Not that I support them or will be sad when they are in the rear view mirror.
You brought up the fact Dooley's players had sexual assault complaints brought against them. I provided the lie to that statement with facts. Now, if you want to go ten rounds with me over positives and negatives of the past coaches, I'll be more than happy to prove you wrong at every turn.
Your move.
