At their Anniversary back in July when his family asked him if he would consider coaching at UT his response was: I love the University of TN, I will do whatever I can to help but I have no desire to coach UT.

Perhaps it was smoke and mirrors at the time, at this point it is anyones guess. If he comes he comes, if he don't he don't is how I look at it.

Suppose he would have said in July that he would absolutely be interested in coaching at UT if the job were to become available. That would have made the Internet go crazy.

We're not getting Gruden. I haven't seen a single reputable media personality even give us a remote shot at getting Gruden. Wouldn't mind if I was wrong - would be great. But everything I've ever read on Gruden being a real possibility is nothing more than an internet rumor or a talking head trying to sell advertising space on a website or radio show.

If I were you and was thinking about Dooley being fired, I'd prepare myself for Kirby Smart or someone of that ilk. And go ahead and start thinking of another 2-3 years of rebuilding pains. Because that's the truth about what will happen if Dooley is fired.

So Dooley has rebuilt UT? Wow. I missed that one.

So, you're happy with the status quo and truly don't get the overall intent of this thread?

UT is better than Dooley, he was never even a good enough coach to now call him washed up. This thread is the embodiment of that hope for getting a coach we deserve, not some hack from the dollar store.

Post who you want or STFU.

Perhaps you would be better served to read what I type verses going off the deep end. I never have said I was happy with the current condition of our program. I have never been a sunshine pumper or pledged my faith in Dooley. The hack you refer to has made more money in his lifetime than you will ever make. So tell me who is the hack and who can walk away and never work another day in his life if he chooses not to do so.

I bet you would not tell me STFU to my face

How many reposts have others made in this thread? I have stated numerous times that I am not out to do anything but talk to people I know and see if there was any substance to this rumor. For some reason you guys act like I am out to sabotage this movement. Hell it doesn't matter to me if he comes or not, I simply reported my findings and you guys took it personal.

I will say this, if Gruden does not come, how foolish do you guys think you will look like. If he comes you guys will look like true insiders. For me I could care less if i'm seen as anything else other than a fan.

The flaw in your argument is that I don't really care what you or most anyone else thinks of me on an anonymous message board be it pro or con.

They just don't seem to get it. It's alright though...

Glad you're back and that your diving experience was so good. Does it make you wanna go more often? It's not the same but you can dive in rock quarries if you get bored to log some hours. I'm looking forward to the pics.

Wish a press conference would happen today saying dooley is gone. Gruden 2013

It will be soon. A HUGE booster just left my business and his words were "Dooley is gone, probably will be after the SC game before it is announced".

Word from him is they are putting a lot of pressure for amid season change, he said the last thing they wanted was to lose the next two as we should, then win out giving Hart the ability to rally the troops to keep him one more year. Hart DOES NOT want to make a move this year, but is pretty much where he doesn't have a choice.

This is from a guy that makes my $3000-$5000 yearly donations look like nothing, he supplied a lot of the money for the new facilities. His contributions over the last few years is in the millions, not thousands. Money talks, and thats what is going on behind the scenes right now it appears. Big Money trying to convince Hart it is ok to make this decision and to get a real coach here.

Edit to add: He shrugged off the Gruden talk with "Every opening has Gruden in the mix".
