Forgive me if this has been covered. I was in a three car accident yesterday (not my fault btw). Time in urgent care for xrays and what and a dose of pain meds that knocked me out mean I am one thread and a few thousand posts behind. I'd like to ask someone fill in a blank for me if possible..

It was mentioned that an MOU had been signed, pushing our "insiders" to 100% Gruden.

I see Babyvol introducing our vetting of other coaches. I understand him to be reputable.

The question is this: can we have a signed MOU with questions remaining about staff?

Please type slowly in your response please. Pain meds making me read slower. haha. Go Vols!

Over the past several days, I've been getting some information from a friend that I haven't heard from in 20+years...actually his mom (late sixties) contacted me first.

Her claim is that her son, my childhood friend, works with Bill and Jim Haslam, and actually owns a portion of one of their businesses.

Is anyone here, that is close to boosters (Haslam specific) willing to privately verify a name for me....so I know how to approach this contact?

This seems shockingly real to me...but I need reassurance.

I don't need to know your contacts...I just need to know if you know this person and that his position is real.

Dead serious post!!!

Ive been following the Gruden threads from the begining but rarely posting. After gathering info from various places, trusting in people like Boro, Jay, etc. who have been consitent from the begining, heres my educated opinion. Jon Gruden will be the next head coach at UT. I believe Gruden wanted this job as much as we all wanted him. I believe a mou has been signed and everyone is waiting to move forward. Gruden and UT have there timeline and for various reasons coming out now makes no sense. So what we have now is a bunch of BS stories that make no sense putting doubt out there as to who our next coach will be.

One day I see on here and from various national sources that its done and the next day Al Goldens our guy. I live near Philly, have for 45 years, what Golden did at Temple is unbelievable, the guys solid, would love to have him IF Jon Gruden werent in play. Frankly its insulting to insinuate Dave Hart has Gruden on the table, an obvious comitment from big $ boosters to cover any expense, and hes going to hire Golden or Gundy or whoever. As excited as we all are that it looks like Gruden, imagine what'll happen knowing it was this close and doesnt happen. Sorry but theres no other coach that we can get that can fix the mess that already exists and then have to deal with the absolute disaster that blowing this deal would mean. I love the Vols and always will, the past 5 years have been tough but to move forward knowing we had Gruden and didnt get it done just makes it that much harder. Hart, Cheek and everyone involved knows they have no choice here. Its Gruden or bust and I mean monumental bust. The deals done and the rest is BS to allow them time and possibly allow some sort of boom factor when its finally announced. Cant say 100% til hes at the press conference but I just dont see allowing this to not happen.
