Cost of living, and the state income tax point have been expressed to me as key selling points. We talked about that being a key for JG about a month ago.

Also the silence from the Gruden side of this confirms a lot of what I've been told about who is driving the behaviour surrounding all of this. Makes sense.

Thanks for sharing.:salute:

Love it!


Sorry for doubting you earlier. I'm just always skeptical when new people show up claiming to have info. Especially because a lot of the newcomers in this thread end up being Arkansas fans trolling.

No biggie :) I've only been here since Gruden v, I wouldn't trust many either. Those hogs are liars. I knew the only way I could get though tho everyone was to throw my name and everything out there. I hope beyond hope we land him. Again, new territory for me (NFL guy) but I'm just a fan like you guys trying to put my resources to work for me and hoping I can help us get some info.

Seriously, I see this as being so important to our fanbase, the University, the State of Tennessee, our traditions, and more importantly our spirit as a family...that's why I am so riveted to this thread. Ain't no way I'm going to bed anytime soon...this is so important !!!!!

To the outside world, that thinks this is silly, they just don't get it.

Now that's psychoanalysis at it's best ladies and gentlemen. This is so ridiculousness... I don't even know where to begin. First off, I am still trying to figure out what in the heck atheism has to do with the comments I made about speculation. IF YOU CAN READ, THEN PLEASE READ THIS AND THEN THINK BEFORE YOU TYPE. I NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER, (DID I SAY NEVER) EVER BASHED ANYONE FOR CHOOSING TO BELIEVE THAT GRUDEN MIGHT COME TO UT. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TELL ME YOU UNDERSTAND THAT. I ONLY TOOK ISSUE WITH PEOPLE READING INTO THINGS LIKE PENS AND MEDIA SPECULATION AND TURNING IT INTO THEIR OWN INDISPUTABLE FACTS. THAT'S IT! TAKE YOUR BELIEF THAT GRUDEN IS COMING AND HAVE FUN SPECULATING AND HOPING THAT HE COMES. BUT DON'T TELL ME THAT I AM BASHING PEOPLE FOR HOLDING OUT HOPE THAT HE'S COMING. YOU LACK THE FACTS NEEDED TO MAKE THAT STATEMENT! JUST DON'T SAY HE HAS SIGNED A CONTRACT OR THAT YOU HAVE TALKED TO AN INSIDE SOURCE UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO MAKE A CASE FOR YOUR COMMENT.

I have a thick dark line between Gruden and coaches I'd be happy with...which actually makes that list "not as happy with", if Gruden weren't involved. What about you?

Chris Petersen would be my next choice. I know his teams only have to get up 2 or 3 times a year for a big opponent but it really is impressive that they come out on top. A lot of their recruiting classes are ranked like 80th and 90th. So consistently winning against better opponents and coaching up the talent he gets impresses me. He does a good job of evaluating talent.

I wouldn't mind Gary Patterson. I do prefer Petersen more though.

A lot of people wouldn't be happy with Dan Mullen or Pat Fitzgerald but I actually don't think they'd be bad hires. Given how that they've done a good job building up Miss State and Northwestern, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing what they're capable of at Tennessee. They'd have far more to work with.

The last coach that intrigues me is Jim Mora. Former NFL coach that has UCLA 8-2 in his first season. I'm impressed by the job he has done.

I just thought of a good way to punk Jimmy hyams. Call in and ask what he thinks about Charles Lee Ray's name being thrown out as hc possibility. There is no way he would get the reference (It's chucky's real name btw)
