Thought I would jump into the fray again. I've been busy this week so I have not had the time to keep up. What "factual" information exists that Gruden is coming to UT? I am not looking for an argument, I am trying to take an objective view.
About all I have gathered so far:
1. Gruden was a grad student at UT so he might have some desire to return.
2. Mrs. Gruden was a UT cheerleader and her family is from Newport, I think?
3. Gruden either owns or has owned property near Sevierville.
4. Gruden probably wants to get back to coaching in the future.
5. Gruden is a charismatic, energetic coach and will in all likelihood succeed when and where he takes a coaching position.
I know everyone is doing there best to convince themselves and everyone else that he is packing his bags for Knoxville but is there any evidence that this may happen other than unsubstantiated rumor? Has Gruden made any comment in the recent past, positive or negative, regarding the UT program?
