I see some stuff in the CN thread that needs discussing, but don't want to clog it up. Since some of it gets pasted from other sites, I thought it would be interesting to add a thread just for comments. Cut and paste from CN thread and comment here.

Sticky if worthwhile...

Wtf. Can we get a cliff note thread of the cliff note thread?

So does it look like Gundy, Fisher and Strong are in play, at the least? We need a guy that can put together a TOP staff and is very tough-minded. Who among these three would that be? Never underestimate the importance of hiring good/great coaches. Look at how much Sal missatackle Sunseri cost us this year. He cost us two/three games and Dooley his job.

Where are all these "reports" Coming from? They all contradict each other. Did Strong interview or not? if not, why are we being lied to thru these so called media outlets. I think they are coming from TOS, per quotes. Who is feeding them lies, if indeed Strong was not interviewed?

This is not inside information this is just how a coaching search works. Strong said he didn't "interview" but that does not mean he did not meet with Hart and co. to gauge mutual interest. It doesn't have to be called an "interview," and that way both parties can maintain plausible deniability.

Was Strong lying to that reporter Rucker went three rounds with on twitter? No. He was not given a formal interview. It's coach speak and it isn't lying so much as omitting/spinning the truth. I expect the same from Gundy, whose AD has not given Tennessee permission to contact. All well and good until a mutual friend of Gundy and Dave Hart just happen to introduce them to one another in NYC this week.

"Mike, did you meet with Tennessee officials concerning the UT opening?" No. "Mike did you and Dave Hart speak this weekend?" I'm not going to comment on who I did and did not speak to. There are hundreds of school employees from all over the country at these things, and I spoke to a great many of them, but I have not interviewed for any coaching positions.

See how easy that was?
