I have went to at least one or two games per season. My last was the Appalachia state game. I seen then the players where not being developed. I didn't go to one this year. The last 4 years I've been on chemo and fought like hell to make it to the stadium and up the stairs to seats. I didn't have it in me this year from chemo and most of all the coaching. If Gruden comes ill fight like hell to make it with my son with whatever short or long life i have left. To have a gruden memory of winning with my son would be priceless

Sorry you're going through that buddy. I'll say a prayer for you. Hopefully the Grude comes so you can share that memory with your son.

I can see why a lot of people are weary of Gruden being a college coach. Obviously there is not much evidence that he would succeed in college. However, what makes me a believer is the fact that I know Gruden understands the game of football. He knows the Xs and Os of the game and has a higher football IQ than about anybody else in football. He may have to learn the recruiting aspect of the college game, but I believe recruits would jump at the opportunity to play for him. After a season or two, Gruden would be well caught up on college recruiting and his name alone would help us get great classes in his early years. Plus, unlike Butch, he would surround himself with quality coaches that would develop talent and help him succeed. I know with Gruden our football program would be in good hands and he would come here expecting to win championships. Real championships.

Unrelated, while in Vegas, I did some parlays, 5 teamers, 3 teamers but I had a 2 teamer with Texas and West Va. I stopped paying attention when West Va was up 38-13. Already had it as a winner in my head because Texas had already covered.

I was not happy on Sunday a m when I checked the score and Baylor had roared back to make the final score 38-36.

I hate to admit it, but Florida also demands excellence from their athletic program. They actually make decisions to achieve their expectations and do not put up with anything less. They compete for titles in most, if not all, of the sports they field a team in. Also, I think they have a great AD who will settle for nothing less than being the best. I hope we have that in Currie.

I thought McElwain was a strangely bad hire. I remember people acting like he was a lock for a good coach. For comparison, McElwain had only 3 years of HC experience and had a record worse than Butch Jones's record at Cincinnati and Central Michigan. If Butch was #5 on our list, where would that have put McElwain? I can't believe more people weren't shocked at that hire.

I was super shocked and then more shocked when they started winning.

Lol.. you're already in this parade preacher.

Your gif game.just adds to the fun and enjoyment.

It just irritates me that people form opinions with such limited knowledge about something and then try to argue the little drop of knowledge they have.

There is no way you can look at Grudens NFL record and say he was a bad coach. And then try to extrapolate that into wether or not he will be a good or bad college coach.

I have no idea what kind of college coach he will be, but he will bring instant credibility to the program.

He loves the game, he is a student of the game at the highest level, has been successful at the highest level, and has a work ethic second to none.

To me that tips the odds to him being successful versus failing.

But wtheck do I know? I'm just an old redneck.

Thing is that never did I say he was a bad coach and never did I say he couldn't succeed as a college coach. My point was that he is far from a guaranteed success like some are portraying him to be and that there are guys out there that Tennessee can get who are guaranteed to succeed.

Butch's fate, according to my source, depends on record and what happens in games. Basically a fluid situation. We go to Kentucky tomorrow and lose 45-0...Butch most likely is gone. He goes 6-6...he's gone. He barely loses to KY and goes 7-5 or better and gets a mid tier bowl...Currie CONSIDERS keeping him. That's what I was told...upon research I see that's also what Hyams is reporting. So...we shall see.

Butch has told his kids they're moving back to Cincinnati
