I think for sure Manning does not belong on any list. Neither does Petrino.
If Gruden has no interest why does he remain silent????? He posturing for ESPN brass or what? If he has any interest in Tennessee, he should let the world know! Butch is gone--Jon owes him nothing!
Kiffin absolutely should be on the short list until the hire is made!
I think Peterson would be interested. I'm no insider but I personally believe hes not happy at Washington and could see him reaching out.
He's my number 1 target if there's any chance, you gotta make a run at him.
he has a child that needs specialized care only available at Washington. Not sure details.
His older son Jack is now in college. His younger son Sam, whose health issues as a small boy helped keep Petersen in Boise, not only fully recovered, but will start high school next year. It's a good time to make the transition.
According to Swain two coaches from the power 5 (not on the Vegas odds list) have called about the head coaching job. If we don't land the white whale Gruden, who would you want as the next head coach that's not on the list?
Jon Gruden **+150
Chip Kelly **+450
Jeff Brohm **+600
Bobby Petrino **+600
Mike Norvell **+800
PJ Fleck **+1000
Bob Stoops **+1200
Tee Martin **+1200
Les Miles **+1400
Jim Bob Cooter **+2200
Dan Mullen **+2200
Brian Kelly **+3300
Lane Kiffin **+3300
Peyton Manning **+10000
They better get this one right if they want to pay for stadium renovations.Exactly. Swain has not idea. Pretty clear Currie has this on lockdown. Info is not getting out. Just rampant speculation. Regardless, UT fans know how this is going to go. We've got the last three hires to go by. It will be the same this time around as well. At some point, one would think blind luck would visit UT and the guys making the decisions would finally get one right. My confidence is low, however.
Speaking of Jimmy Sexton, that's really confusing. I'm sure a lot of his guys are up for the same job. How does he not get conflicted? That ESPN article talks about how Hamilton reached out to him after Fulmer was fired and was like "who can I talk too?". He tells him to meet Lane in Atlanta after watching his former client get fired.

John Gruden is not coming here.Gruden is the guy....he has to finish MNF through Dec. 25th....it will be announced probably on November 27th with an assembled staff of NFL coaches once Jones is fired on November 26th....we will be an NFL mini-league program like Alabama is now or USC was when Pete Carroll was there....so itso facto Gruden is the $10,000,000 white whale rocking Tennessee orange Power T's on his chest and back.
