Gruden never wanted to come here. He is too scared to coach in the college game because of all the rules and regulations. He is going to coach in the NFL next year and that is how it was from the beginning. To all the people who think that Gruden was the only coach who could turn UT around....you might as well put that cold steel to the side of your head and pull the trigger because it turns out your brain was pretty useless in the first place.
i didnt say he should say he is scared on tv he should have just announced i have no desire to coach at tennessee at all ever. and left it at that and it would have killed some of this circus that has been going on for football team regarding the hire of our next coach.
Stick a fork in it we are done for a long long time as a program. We may have to shut down the university over this one. I don't really think we have any chance of getting a coach who is worth 50 cents now. At least not one that can recruit to help us to get us back. This is going to be worse than when kiffin left. Go Vols!!! All we can hope for is 6 wins a season now for a long time.
... (myknoxnews@knoxnews.com -) Ex-NFL coach Jon Gruden tells Tennessee no thanks on head coaching job. m.knoxnews.com TXT STOP to opt-out

JG used our "interest" to provide leverage for his soon-to-be NFL courting rituals.
He was never interested in coming to college ball at all. He wants back in the NFL, and any leverage he can get to assist that effort is great for him.
Seriously, take a Xanex and relax for a minute.
The sky is falling overreactions on this board in the last several hours are hilarious.
Gruden is NOT the only coach that can win in Knoxville. Hell, no one knows for sure if Gruden would have won!!!
ok, i will say it this way for you folks, there are coaches available if like or love mediocrity, for me that is not what Tennessee is or needs here. But to each their own.
LAVol you are truly an idiot. Do me a favor and go back to your drugs and left coast attitude. Better yet start rooting for the Gators please. You have more in common with them.
why in the world would someone wanting to coach NFL use a less than mediocre college teams "interest" to try to elevate his status as a coach? he's not wanted by fact of how many others want him but his ability.
