The hope for Gruden along with the long waiting and not knowing what's going to happen has our nerves torn all to sh*t! That said I believe we have better than a 50/50 shot at getting him. Just the feeling I get cause Boro and a couple others haven't changed their tunes. They don't have a history of trolling so gotta trust what they say until they are proven wrong.

I finally realized that if Gruden is coming here the deal has probably already been worked out pending the outcome of tomorrows meeting. No use in worrying about percentages of success or grand schemes. We can only hope the back story behind the scenes eventually comes to light. I figure that should take most of the off season to dissect.

Why? He said it wasn't inside info, and he believes that the people with info are right about DD being gone and Gruden being the 1st person on the list. He also said that this is a step in the right direction for the AD and that if Gruden is interested that they would find away to work everything out.

Associating the UT HC job with Cutcliffe sure depresses me.

You have to be realistic as far as the university is concerned. One small agenda item means little, but could be the start of something bigger. These things have been discussed for a while from within, but they take a long time to iron out. UT may be a university, but it is as much a bureaucratic mess as any government in this country.

What I am saying is that I don't believe the academic issues and control issues are that big of a deal. Are they important? Sure, but UT isn't Vanderbilt and isn't trying to be. I would think the boosters and AD could promise enough control under the current system with the promise to revisit the issues formally in the future in a way that could convince a good coach to come here, IF the money is right. Remember, there is a price for everything. How many players has Cheek's policies really cost the program? Two or three? That isn't the difference in winning and losing to a coach like Jon Gruden. Program impacting players don't have these kinds of issues anyway.

My only concern is the status quo and that it will lead to another Dooley-like hire, which will be the final nail in the Vol football coffin at least for the near term.

If Gruden truly is in play, UT has exhaust every reasonable approach to make it happen.
