So let’s get this straight
•Gruden has never been a head coach of a college team
•Gruden has never recruited one player
•Gruden has a mediocre at best NFL record
•Gruden doesn’t even really wanna coach college. Only reason he would is he’s getting laid off (proved that in 2012)
•Basically what it boils down to is Gruden is the star of NFL Monday Night Football, he knows how to talk QB lingo on TV, he won a Super Bowl with someone else’s team, and he went to UT 100 years ago.

Why do we want this guy, and more importantly why are we willing to break the bank to do it?

So, let's get this even more straight:
- Gruden can relate to young people
- Gruden would be a rock star in recruiting because of his celebrity on MNF
- Gruden's NFL record is not all that mediocre when you look st average coach records
- Gruden won a SB by beating the team he actually did assemble and apparently the last coach at TB couldn't win a SB
- Gruden has the personality and work ethic to be good.

Nothing is ever a guarantee but he would bring instant credibility.

Ima keep saying it ... and others are thinking it ...

UT keeps Butch ... my interest and support of UT football is gone. I'll pack my clothes and memorabalia, and store it. I won't keep up with UT during the off season, and I may or may not watch next year.

UT hires Coach Googlemyname from Sweetwater School for the Blind, same.

UT hires someone the equivalant of Derek Jones or Butch Dooley, same.

UT hires Bobo, I'm out, period.

UT hires someone like Frost or Venables, well, at least I'm intrigued. Wait and see mode.

UT hires someone in the John Harbaugh off the wall are you kidding me really i didn't see that coming category, well, that'd be a good hire. I'm in.

UT hires Gruden, well, BOOM. My kids ain't never see such a UT fan in their lifetimes (ages 21 and down).

Anything other than Gruden, and my money stays in my pocket (albeit a small, modest amount anyway).

Guys and gals I'm going to dispel some rumors. I 'm about to break a promise I made that I wouldn't post on here about this but I'm going to even knowing many of you won't believe or choose not to believe but here goes...And no I'm not looking for e-cred or anything else unless u want to send money

The decision to fire Butch Jones HAS NOT been made. As a matter of fact, Currie has made it clear he still supports Butch and if he doesn't have any embarrassing incidents and at least makes a mid tier bowl he may be retained. The buyout HAS NOT been negotiated as many are saying...that's quite obvious since the decision to fire Butch hasn't been made. So no, the Haslams haven't agreed to pay the buyout.

Now, here's the biggie on Gruden

Jon Gruden as of 10-27-17 has told all people close to him and the boosters who have reached out to him that he has NO DESIRE to coach in Knoxville. He does however intend the move to Knoxville after the ESPN cutbacks and MNF gets scrapped by ESPN. He has said he wouldn't mind being a consultant of some sort but coaching isn't something he wants to do at the college level. Now I know many of you are wanting the man so bad that what I've said isn't going to set well with you but that is indeed fact. I seriously doubt Currie is going to sway him to coach the Vols. He does as of now intend to attend the Southern Miss game so I can only imagine that the so called insiders on this forum are gonna get fired up with him there. It means nothing. One last tidbit..Currie HAS NOT reached out to ANY coach as of today because Butch Jones is his coach and may very well be his coach next year if he finishes 8-4 or 7-5 or doesn't get blown out by KY or any other team which he considers embarrassing.

That's all the facts I know. I have opinions but I'll keep them to myself so opinions don't get confused with facts. So there you go Volnation...theres the TRUTH as of today.

**This was also posted in the Hyams thread which was a mistake I thought I was posting it in this thread

Good Evening everyone..
Sorry wasn’t able to be on much today...the WiFi wasn’t working for some reason on the bird today...and I was all over the place.
Speaking of...I need some of you ATC guys or military guys to clear my birds through some of these MOA’s...cost me some time today flying around them. :)

First off wow...spent last few mins in the old thread trying to figure out what I was doing wrong with no real recent activity. Come to find this new thread...and holy moly i can’t catch up on a 100 or so pages and ever get really caught up.

Cliff notes anyone or do i just need to hunker down and try and get caught up. I’ll write an update from my end (highly redacted however i hate to admit at this point) but will give you some sense of where my head and thoughts are.

So this could be leaking even before the game? Could it be that The Gruden camp is actually releasing the info?? He’s got to know what’s being said by now and he’s said nothing. I’m more convinced now than ever.

I absolutely agree, rev. The silence surrounding this whole thing is deafening. Actually, the silence is what I hear the loudest over all of the other "white noise." I'm with you. I'm more convinced now then ever.
