Here's what I believe to be the last couple of hours.

Athletics director Dave Hart, his wife and a Tennessee administrator flew to Louisville to visit with Strong and we believe his wife.

The plane with Hart and company has returned to Knoxville. Strong isn't with them, but I don't think that means he has turned Tennessee down.

He hasn't given either side an answer. Sources have indicated to us that Louisville has told Strong they want an answer from him tonight.

So the clock ticks.

Yay4Bray said that Jon Gruden to Tennessee will be announced in the next 24 hours: I tweeted something about it and VolRumorMill responded saying he has heard the same thing

https://twitter.com/VolRumorMill

He has been pretty accurate with his info throughout this process


Dustin Kelver‏@CleverKelver

I had a source tell me that Gundy, Strong, and Fedora would all decline TN offers. Same source tells me about Gruden

9mVolRumorMill‏@VolRumorMill

@CleverKelver I've heard the exact same thing...But this Strong situation is so crazy that I am now questioning everything.

8mDustin Kelver‏@CleverKelver

@VolRumorMill You have heard JG to TN or about the deniais?

7mVolRumorMill‏@VolRumorMill

@CleverKelver both

3mDustin Kelver‏@CleverKelver

@VolRumorMill The Strong situation has been ridiculous but so has this whole search. How much do you trust the source talking about JG?


1mVolRumorMill‏@VolRumorMill

@CleverKelver At this point I have no reason not to believe anyone that I go to for information.

There is the conversation

A little more...
There was confidence tonight and that confidence has turned to real surprise for Tennessee after Louisville head coach Charlie Strong called athletics director Dave Hart to tell him he was declining Harts offer to be his head coach.

With rejections from Strong and Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy on Wednesday, Tennessee is reshuffling the deck and is back to ground zero on their search for a new head coach.

It has been thought that they would turn to North Carolina head coach Larry Fedora. And they likely will. However sources close to Fedora and the North Carolina situation aren't convinced that Fedora would take the job. He's obviously the first name to watch.

After that, it's anyone's guess right now as Tennessee is scrambling to restart a search that they thought was concluded on Wednesday night.
