Willie Taggart has been at Oregon for one year he isn't leaving for UT, that is beyond silly. Considering what Brohm has done at Purdue why wouldn't he be a candidate? I am not sure what some of you are expecting outside of Gruden. There aren't many sure bets out there and most aren't leaving for UT.

I agree,If we don't have Gruden then this fan base is gonna lose it's sh*t again.Patterson be a nice #2 but after that I'm not sure who they could bring in that would satisfy the masses.

I think I have said this before. Anything happening is not on the timing of the fan base or VFL’s. Any announcement will be when it most benefits the narratives that are under construction. We just simply don’t have full visibility on everything that is going on. It is most interesting to me that it has not be publicly killed by John or Gruden. They both full well know the pulse of the big orange faithful. I am still calm just watching the show.

Nice post. The ups and downs on this board does not change a thing.

I just can't imagine making a push at Gruden for $10M and then the next names on the list are Mullen and Norvell.

If you put it out there, you'd have everyone besides Saban jumping to come here and wouldn't have to settle Mullen.

I've thought the same thing.

It's part of why I've doubted those salary numbers from the outset.

Turn in your VFL card, NOW!

Purdue is horrible, and so is Brohm.

No they are bad but they were horrible in the past which is a huge improvement. They did beat Missouri 35-3 which is a heck of a lot better than we can say with much worse talent. Not to mention they have had a ton of close losses, he has performed quite a turnaround in one year.

Sallee has been one of the mainstream media guys who have been mocking Tennessee throughout this entire process. It serves him no purpose to lie about it.

Hyams either is clueless or has been told to say what he says.

Do you realize the attention that any media figure reporting the words Tennessee and Gruden together arr getting? It certainly does serve a purpose. Its not like reporting many years ago where you lost credibility if you are wrong, in 6 months most people wont remember, they just remember hearing the name.

it’s pretty well known gruden has looked for a home here in knoxville. With that being said, I do not see the sense in looking around knoxville if he was looking to coach in the NFL.

I just had a buddy text me saying that Currie met with Campbell in Chicago. Neither of us would be termed "insiders" by any means. So can someone confirm where he got this from? I'm assuming Volquest, but could be wrong. I'll be honest, if it's not Gruden, Campbell is someone who would be towards the bottom of my list. So, if this is in fact truth, then that tells me a lot of the big names have said no...

I wouldn't doubt it... I believe he is in contact with several coaches other than Gruden. It would be irresponsible of him to put all of his eggs in one basket, no matter how sure he is of the Gruden deal.

That being said, I hope Campbell is pretty far down the list... But still above Mullen.

Exactly...

This way Currie can only hire ONE person.
The decision was made for him.

OT (sort of) - Living in a city with a NFL team, one of the things I've observed is that NFL coaches don't do nearly as many public appearances beyond press conferences and their own coaches show. I wonder how someone like JG would handle the pressures of constant booster calls, meet & greets, BOC, etc. etc.? That part of the job would be very different than his NFL experience...

Well I no longer had an excuse to not post a gif since I had two responses on how. So here it goes: I'm ready for the announcement next week or just after the Vandy game so negagrudes will finally transform from

Click to expand...

Hyams is basically the only media guy left who is saying no serious talks with Gruden. I think if he was that much more plugged in than everyone else, his track record would be better than it is.

I think his "contacts" are just people in the AD that want to control what's being said in the media. If that's the case, they are hanging him out to dry on this.

But anything is possible. I don't doubt Hyams has spoken to people inside the AD. Impossible to tell who is right wrong, and who is being truthful. Just entertaining to speculate.
