Ok, have a little tidbit to share.

I have a friend that called me while at dinner earlier. He works for a very high up booster in town.

Said the Gruden deal is done. The VFL coordinators and position names we have been hearing on here is correct. Also added Tee going to be OC but only agreed to come here if he was going to be Head coach in waiting.

Said the misinformation train is full speed ahead trying to keep this under wraps. Here's the part I didn't understand. His boss said the coaches and players all know. The players have been told to stay quiet or you lose your scholarship. His boss didn't give him an annoucement date but said it could happen sooner than later depending on stories and leaks.

Went to highschool and college at UT with him so I trust him completely but obviously I wasn't in the room and hear his boss say this.


Maybe Tuesday could give us a smilie if the info I heard about the coach in waiting is correct??

If Tuesday agress that this post is 100% accurate, I can ask Tuesday one irrelevant question not about football by private email that Tee or only a couple of people from that timeframe would actually know.. If it’s correct, the next coach has to be Gruden.

I'd say do it. The only thing I questioned my friend was the yanking of the scholarship if players talked. No way the school could do that.

Haven’t caught up totally today but I laugh at the people saying I am a troll for calling that crazy guy a “**** boy”. I was entertaining a troll who absolutely fits the definition of a **** Boy. If there is a better term for him then I would love to hear it.

Are we sure that the Dale Jones post is real? His twitter handle is CoachDaleJones54, not Dale Jones as shown in the screenshot.

I keep going back to something from this morning that didn’t seem to draw much discussion...

In the Seattle interview, everyone seemed to be focused on the unprompted Rocky Top reference... Which was a big deal in itself... But I’m still hung up on him specifically requesting that he not be questioned about the Tennessee job... That was just barely mentioned and seemed to get overshadowed by the RockyTop talk.

IMO, that is more telling than what he said at the end. It’s well known that he is a TN fan, so that shoutout could just be written off to him being fan. But the fact that he requested not to be asked about the job confirms 2 key pieces of information that we had no official proof of before.

- 1) It confirms that he is aware of all the speculation, and has a reason not to talk about it. Yesterday when he was asked, he made the “never say never” comment, which would have been the perfect opportunity to shut it down. Then the very next day, he tells them not to ask about it. Why was he fine with talking about it one day and not the next? Because he gave all the details he was willing to give the day before. He didn’t want them to dig any deeper.

- 2) The notion that we haven’t even reached out to him or that he isn’t being considered is officially debunked. It is now a FACT that he is being considered and has had at least 1 conversation with the UTAD or someone working on their behalf.

This may not seem like a big deal compared to all the inside info we’re getting... But to me it was huge... because it was the first real, concrete confirmation of something... Not a huge something, but something nonetheless.

UPS fail. I asked if I could pick them up at hub. The guy said that the Hub on Callahan doesn’t have a Saturday schedule. I asked if I could pick them up somewhere between here and Georgia and he said that would take a re-route request, it would take another day. I said there’s no way to get them tomorrow even if I drive to get them? He said no.

Just a tip: I keep seeing that members of the media are being used in a misinformation campaign to cover up the #Gruden story. That's ridiculous. If anyone had the story, they'd break it before Currie could pick up a phone. And why would #Vols do it? "We've got him, so hide it!"

A scholarship can be taken at the end of every uear, actually. As long as there is no recording of someone telling them that then they actually could. Believable? Not likely.

Wouldn't want to get off on the wrong foot with a new AD and especially gruden, though. *if that's the case.

I do sincerely apologise sir. I can relate to being out of scotch.

I keep some Newport shine full of cherries in the bottom of the fridge for just such emergencies.
