My initial thought was to get someone in early who can salvage this class before early signing period. That's why I liked Gruden and Kelly, but the overall list is solid. I'm just not sure how far down we'll have to go to lock someone in.

As far as plugging the leaks, you're right. I've shared more information than I should. Hopefully, everything will work out and everyone will be happy with the choice.

Because that choice has already been made

This thread is going to get me fired. I've been unproductive for a week and a half now. So if this whole thing turns out to be the biggest troll job in VN history I can still say I was there in 2017 and took the bait hook, line, and sinker because I'm in!! I believe he who once roamed the side lines is coming.... soon. With that said, Grude morning.

This....all of this.

It doesn't matter...you can't let kids that you don't have effect the long term decisions we have to make. We'll get players....it's still Tennessee. And the right hire will coach then up and make them competitive.

Get the hire right, and the rest will work itself out.

Bingo, if we get Gruden fast that's amazing, but to rush in a new coach is no guarantee he can save the class to begin with. It's one class, our team is talented. Bring in Gruden and the rest will handle itself. I used to read the RF everyday. I no longer do due to all the depression of Jones lol

I'm right there with you and I would venture to say there are many just like us.

I know this is the Gruden thread, but I'm just gonna say that I believe there is a very good chance that Dan Mullen will be the next coach.

Agree. New coach HAS to come in and (re)secure Cade Mays, and that is it. Anybody else in this class is gravy. You CANNOT miss on that kid in our own back yard.

BleecherVol, thanks for the note. Honestly, I have nothing against Gruden. I think he would get the fan base fired up and united, which it hasn't been in a long time. Anybody other than Butch is fine by me, but I definitely feel we need a big name coach.

The A and B list of names I shared earlier was my neighbors recommendations based on his analytical data he would provide to the AD. At this point he hasn't met with Currie. The list I saw last night came directly from the one gentleman that Currie has enlisted to assist him with the search. Some of the names are the same, but many from the previous list were not included. Gruden was on the new list. The feedback and opinion on Gruden given to me was from my friend who will provides the data on each coach. Again, UTAD may go in a completely different direction. They recommended to Hart to not go with Butch the last time and they did anyway.

Gruden's on a list of one. You can't have his name next to other coaches out there. This is Gruden we're talking about.
