Still holding out hope for a today-tomorrow announcement. Would give a boost going into Vandy removing all the uncertainty imo. Media may force them to do so, or have the only UT discussion until they do involve Dooley not tickets, the team, or the games. Makes no sense to not announce something.

Tennessee Update: Mon., 8:30 a.m.
Derek Dooley will hold his weekly Monday press conference at 12 Noon.

Seems normal enough. Could have sworn it said "not hold.." on the first read. Sorry wishful thinking on my part.

Why would they put him out there like that? He will be blasted.

Ainge has not been misled, he knows what side his bread is buttered. Look at al the interet activity this is bringing to their station, makes it much easier to solicit new business when your trafic numbers are up from listeners.

Maybe he comes out and falls on his sword? Again, wishful thinking on my part but the classy thing to do would be to come out dressed in a white robe and unsheathe a katana upon which you intend to fall. I doubt he would bleed one drop of orange.

I`m with you! I`m so freakin happy I don`t care if it`s 2 weeks. I know his azz is grazz and that`s all that matters! Gruden or Strong has to wait to accept the job anyway. I`d go ahead and can hin and let Jay Graham be interim. The team would play their tales off for Jay. But Dools is gone,and that`s all I care about today. Go Vols!

I'm not sure what all he has done before to prepare him for it, but I do agree with putting him in. He has the best shot at still being here so I believe the players would listen to him more.

So no press conference today. So are we under the idea that it still will be at the end of the season or will it take a loss to Vanderbilt or possibly a Tuesday presser? What are your opinions. Once the public announcement then we can chase Gruden to bring him home. But we have to sever ties with Dools quick.

Purely speculation on my part, but I see this as a good thing actually. That is if you want Gruden.

We occasionaly need to be reminded, these guys are not working on our schedule. We've known a timeline for all of this since after the MSU game. I don't know why they haven't made an announcement yet, but it still all coincides with the timeline I was given from the beginning. You can be sure somebody involved has a very good reason for the way this is proceeding. I know how it ends up....everything else is just conjecture at this point.

I know it is frustrating, but I've heard nothing that makes me believe anything will happen until after UK. Anything could happen, but that's what I've been told.

Same goes for the Gruden info. Nothing has changed.

As one of the skeptical ones I must say this raises my eyebrows

Yeah I will agree with people that posted it a couplewweeks ago. If we announce Dooley then trying to finalize with Gruden would become a media circus maybe even jeopardizing the whole thing.

Ainge just said again that Gruden is not happening. He is going out of his way to stress this. I hope he is just flat wrong because I truly believe this is what he believes.

To be able to concentrate on Vandy and maybe still make a bowl? That's my number 1 reason. It's all over the media, this whole week will be a circus if they don't. Players will feel pressure all week. Leave him on the sidelines if you want, just make it official.

This is not just my opinion it seems to be half of the argument. Hopefully Gruden is why they are waiting, otherwise it is giving up on making a bowl just to wait another week. Makes no sense to me.

The distraction could swing both ways. This team is gonna walk into Nashville distracted either way.
