Give the man what he wants.

He (and the donors) better if they are serious about winning again.

Absolutely! And give us what we want, Christmas early! All I am asking for this year is CJG, new head coach of my beloved Vols! Oh, and an all-world staff as stocking stuffers! Please and thank you!

"Early Christmas to Vols and to Vols, Grudenite!"

I think it's clear at this point that Gruden is very interested in the job. It's going to be up to Hart and the major boosters to seal the deal. The next month or two will tell us how serious our leaders are about winning again. We're looking at a program defining moment which could impact the next decade.

Awesome!!!!

 

[Sheath Huler]

Ok, I'm bored with speculating now. Time to hire this guy and be relevant again. Pony up b***hes

[Slydell]

These speculations seem to be circular in presentation. If ya know what I mean.

 

[JayVols]

I think we all just need to chill. It sounds like those in the know are still confident and we're just playing the waiting game.

Wise.

Relax. Smoke (screens) get in your eyes.....

When you said Hubbs, it made me think he was gonna deny all this stuff. Phew

He also said he doesn't think it's over for Dooley right now.

 

[orange parmejohn]

Thought so. I was stationed in Atsugi, Japan from 92-94. Worked on F-18s. Could see Fuji on a clear day.

worked on the flightline at Kadena AB which saw just about every airframe. the 18s were the LOUDEST jets by far, on take off. i loved em.

 

[ukvols]

He also said he doesn't think it's over for Dooley right now.

I take what every respected poster says, put it together, and build my conclusions from there. I think CDD is out with a loss this week, because it would take the magic number of 8 wins out of play (for the regular season). If we win, and if Gruden is 'on the line,' then Hart will have his hands full next week. JMO

 

[JayVols]

i'm worried it won't get worked out, or it will be too late.

No source, just my fear.

You're a heart-attack waiting to happen dude. Calm.

the fact that Dooley is still coaching saturday makes me think maybe this is true. winning highly doubtful but if dooley does pull a miracle, then firing him 2 days after wont be great pr.

 

[LotteryPick]

He also said he doesn't think it's over for Dooley right now.

Give it a week.

 

[MWR]

Give us a pic of Gruden holding the NC trophy on the podium surrounded by a sea of orange and white please and thank you.

Ok, here's Gruden, in orange, and with a trophy. Alas, the crowd has not showed up. Yet.

I have a fraternity brother from ETSU, who is the brother in law of Jon Gruden. I was a Lambda Chi at ETSU back in the mid to late 80's, anyway I asked my frat brother if his brother in law, Jon Gruden, would actually take the UT position, and he said to me tonight that it is "looking good" and "close to a 75% chance he would take it". That doesn't mean he will take it but it is more of a reality than a hoax, like some may think. He also told me that Coach Gruden would want "complete control" of the program, just like Saban at Bama. It will be interesting to see how how it all turns out.

 

[wolfej]

If you want to crack up turn on TSR cause they're cracking me the hell up...
