I'm tired of every poster claiming they know somebody that knows somebody about Gruden being a done deal. Is this even true? If this is true why hasn't ESPN confirmed it? Also what does Brent Hubbs say about our chances with Gruden?

I posted this to refrain from posting in the Gruden Cliff Notes.

Dude, we have a Gruden thread for a reason. Get in there and get bashed for disagreeing. However, your right no one knows anything.

My question is, if this is not done and dead, why has Gruden not come out and squashed it personally?

Has he ever about any job opening he's rumored to be taking? Its almost a certainty Arky offered, and he never publicly squashed it. Nor has he said anything about any NFL opening.

He probably won't say anything, we will all know only when he takes his next job.

Also, if Hubbs is correct, and Hart is looking at Stoops, Fisher and Golden first, that really sucks.

I am wishful thinking as in... If he does not want it then say it so we can move on (as a fan base). I would sleep much better at night knowing either way!:)

It's like someone said about 3452 threads back ... Gruden likes the attention. Which I have to agree with. The last time his name was up for the Tennessee job it was a few weeks before he even said anything.

I love the guy and hope he comes but I guess attention whores will be whores! No one ever said he did not have an ego.

Honestly, I think we are in talks with Gruden. I don't think its a done deal. Also, I think hart wants to look at other coaches to make the right hire. The media in KnoxVegas is ridiculous, I wouldn't tell them shat. But they might know and have to wait to break it.

I don't think Hart is going to be bullied around by the boosters. They hired him for a reason. If anyone remember Haslam was the one that personally sent the plane to pick up Dooley to bring him to Tennessee. So should Haslam be brought into the conversation about who really wanted Dooley to begin with.

Right now Dave Hart is the only one that knows what is going on and he is not talking. Everyone else is just speculating.

Really??? You put Fisher and Golden in the same grouping with Stoops? Guys I know I post a lot about Stoops, but DANG! Look at his record!!!! He is the best bet for success (assuming Chucky doesn't come to UT).

Someone who is supposedly demanding a 10 mill per year coaching budget doesn't really care about us.....sorry to have to break that to you.

I have a difficult time believing that Hart was able to get the concession from Cheek on AD $ without booster backing. I assume that Hart and the shot callers are on the same page. If it turns out that a group of boosters was ready to serve up Gruden and Hart instead hires someone on the level of Golden, they might as well cancel the program.

I totally agree with this. If Hart is that stupid there will be riots and more mattress burning in Knoxville. This was never going to happen in a week and certainly not before the end of the season--that is now past.

That's not fair at all.

Lane Kiffin left 20 days before NSD and no coach wanted to take the job at the last second.

We were turned down by like 10 coaches before Dooley accepted. It wasn't for lack of trying to get a better coach, the time just made it impossible for a good hire.

Hubbs hates UT. There's 6 million insiders on here that have guaranteed Gruden is a done deal!






This is sarcasm

Why is that? Most if not all people agree with that sentiment. Look at how our fanbase reacted when Kiffin left us right before NSD. No coach with integrity would screw their school over and piss off their fan base. Not to mention, clean up a recruiting class with about 2 weeks to go. We hired Dooley like 2-3 days after Kiffin left. Real coaching searches last longer than that but we had no choice because we had to keep our recruiting class in tact.
