No and no. All of this is disinformation IMO.

How many names did we hear during the last search? We heard Dooleys name the day prior to his announcement.

Thanks for the reply.

I really wasn't into recruiting or all the rumors until after last season so i didn't know who was mentioned when Kiff left.

Yeah, but Veterans don't sport an old Active Duty Military ID, when they are no longer....Active Duty. It's like using a college ID years after you are out of school.

Again, veterans are usually registered with the VA and you get a Medical ID for VA hospitals/clinics. That's about the only ID I can think of, other than using one's DD214.

I think the restaurants use it mostly for advertising, to generate goodwill. They probably realize that most vets will have too much pride to come waltzing in and saying essentially "I'm here for my free meal." Not saying they should feel bad. Just saying how I see it.

I can understand that.

I have seen Golden Corral's TV ad several times. But, it sounds like a ton of restaurants offer a meal today.

Answering someone's question eaier.

I've been here all day, I'm straight on the Vols side in thinking it will happen.

However, I spoke with someone who is an affiliate of Espn who thought they had zero chance and now thinks that there is no way Chucky can turn UT down if we have as much $ on the table as rumored.

You know, from an objective point of view....despite Ainge and others denial, I honestly can see the plausibility of Gruden taking the job where he'd turn most others down.

Not just his TN connections, but this past year he did seem to be "hanging around the punch bowl" a little bit, with his appearance at the coaching clinic....meeting with Dooley for several hours, talking X's and O's. Mentioning in the interview that he'd be interested in coaching again (said he just loves it), and even left open the prospect of coaching in college, if the RIGHT opportunity presented itself...hint, hint.

His skit on Knoxville with the Corona ad (could have chosen dozens of others, more "sexy" than UT).

Plus, in his pre-draft QB coaching videos, he would often use Peyton Manning as a reference to judge these QB prospects by. He kept calling him "The Sheriff." He really likes Peyton....who just so happens to be pitching for us. For this last reason, alone....I'm inclined to like our chances.

No disrespect intended, but anyone who checks the cliff note thread, could have assembled and posted, what you say you put together. Absolutely nothing in your post that hasn't been widely known for a while now.

It is more like an essay proving he had read the entire thread since the beginning than any sort of revelation.

Not saying I believe Cowher as an option but ALOT has changed since the last time. This coaching search will have a different feel to it.
