The car that was in front of me in traffic today had a license tag that was ended in the letters CJG.

It's a sign! All of the rumors are true! The traffic gods have revealed this to me at 7:20 this morning.

Part of me agrees. But if Gruden fails (better than a 10% chance I would say) then our Athletics Department is in a world of hurt.

Not arguing but what if Stoops fails, are we any better. Who's the best choice, GRUDEN go for the homer. Stoops has lost a BUNCH of big games at oklahoma. I would support but I want Gruden by a longshot over Stoops. The risk is WORTH the reward because the failure will be the same for anyone!! GO VOLS GET GRUDEN!!! I BELIEVE!!! Failure is not a option!!! WE WANT CHUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rock:

This.

Our class wasn't gonna be top 25 with Dools I'm afraid.

No question. The Dooley ship started really sinking after the MSU game, and everyone could see it, including recruits. Anybody will be an improvement, as if we kept Dooley, we would just lose more of our already limited amount of nice recruits (Miles). If we had a different coach and different results on the field, Green would have been committed months ago.

of course he would be the safer hire. However he wouldn't have quite the impact that Gruden to UT would have in the sports world.

I'd still take Stoops in a hearbeat though and he would be #1 if there was no Gruden

I think that's what a lot of people don't realise. Grudens name alone is gonna have a huge impact. Tennessee football with be the talk of the off-season.

And recruiting will sky rocket. You will see a lot of converts from wanting 2 and 3 stars to us landing five stars and people going crazy.

Question: if the Academic Standards are gonna be dropped some now and we get Gruden, Does that not better the Chances maybe that CP comes back for a Senior Year. I know it's a small chance but I think CP would like to play for Gruden

pretty sure people are talking about admissions requirements. Can't get around many of the rules once they're in school

Yes. Gruden will recruit.

To me the only outstanding question is whether Gruden can relate his style and system to a college practice schedule and 18 year old kids. I think he can and will, but I'm not sure how anyone can know this.

While anyone may be a upgrade from our former coach it isn't the overall answer. WE NEED A GREAT COACH at this time not a good coach or a up and comer. GO VOLS GET THE MAN,PAY THE MAN!! GET GRUDEN!!!! WE WANT CHUCKY!!!! GET A GREAT RETURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rock:

It's my understanding that CP won't meet his percent of hours counting toward his major. That's a NCAA rule not tennessee.

True. And if we're being honest, that ship started taking on water about the second Dooley stepped on campus.

Also, no way CP is coming back, grades or no grades. He's about to become a millionaire and a star.

Morning Grudenfolk.

My pledge for the day is: I will resist the urge to make fun of Arkansas unless provoked.

I hope today is a grude day for everybody and I hope all you sick folks start feeling better.
